A Drive Thru' WHAT?
A Rant by Phiblo

I got an e-mail the other day (from someone sitting just a few feet away from me, but that's another rant altogether!) and it contained the following "Witty" observation on life:

"Why do drive through cash machines have Braille on them?"

Now, besides the fact that I've never seen a drive through cash machine, this got me thinking. Surely the question should not be "Why do they have Braille on?" as much as "Why the fuck do they exist in the first place?"

I mean this drive through lifestyle thing is just bloody stupid. Take drive through fast food (YES MR MCDONALD, I'M TALKING TO YOU!), what the fuck? You drive to a fast food "restaurant" and you get some "food", and rather than sit down and eat it while it is still a little bit hot (well, as hot as you can expect) you drive away to some other place so you can sit down and eat it and complain about it being cold. Let's put this in to a sensible equation shall we?

Home cooked food = Hard work + nice food (assuming you know how to cook) + good for you (depends what you cook) + hot meal. Therefore home cooked food = Generally good and very satisfying

Nice Restaurant/Decent Pub Food = No hard work + nice food + good for you (depends what you order, natch) + Fairly expensive + hot meal. Therefore Nice Restaurant/Decent Pub Food = Good but only every now and then.

Fast food + eat in = Shite food + Cheap + Hot meal if you're lucky. Therefore Fast food + eat in = OK once in a while I suppose.

Fast food + Drive through = Shite Food + Cheap + Cold meal. Therefore Fast food + Drive through = WHAT THEY FUCK ARE YOU THINKING?

So anyway, back to my original point, drive through cash machines. I've not seen any, but if they do exist then I have one thing to say. If you are too lazy to park your car, and go to get some money, then you don't deserve to have any.

So there.
