I have developed a drive-thru phobia :O
The other day Brett and I drove down to McDonalds to pick up Brett's last paycheck, whilst he went in to get it I said i would drive through and get us ice creams cos it was a hot day. Brett said "I have a coupon to get mine free." And I almost died, it is hard enough to get your order understood with an Aussie accent and a basic order let alone if you want to do something slightly out of the ordinary!! I sometimes forget I have an accent, then the drive-thru attendants remind me. It is not unusual for me to be yelling into the microphone in monosyllables to be understood LOL. It wasn't until Brett asked me to use his coupon that I realized how stressful going through a drive-thru has become now that I have an accent. I can see the future headlines:
hahahaha this post cracked me up. Yoshi almost had a breakdown when we lived in Vancouver for the same reason... No one ever understood him when he ordered a coke. Then the one day he gave up and ordered a Pepsi, the waitress looked at him and said "sorry, we only have coke, will coke do?"
