EPT
I am not familiar with which fast food places near me are open till what time etc... so I decide to just go to the nearest major road and hit each fast food place until I find one that's open.
I stop at Burger King (~2 miles from home). Guy at the drive through: no shakes, we clean the machines now. A 24 hour BK should have them... there's one five minutes down the road from this one... make a right.
So I keep going and it takes more than 5 minutes with lights and whatnot. 4.2 miles. There is a line of like 8 cars (freaking 1am man). I'm chatting on google chat (oh my phone) with a friend explaining how ridiculous of a situation this is I have put myself in. We are also discussing team sc2 strats/etc. Eventually I get to the board to order and they say no shakes. I'm pretty pissed and I drive off. I see a Mcdonald's nearby so I eventually make some crazy uturns to get there. 4.5 miles away now. Wait in line for like 5-6 cars and eventually get my large vanilla milk shake. I drive back, missing just about every light again somehow.
Get back to my place, park the car, start walking to the door. It's been almost an hour since I left I swear. A bunch of crickets or some other crazy looking bugs are all chilling right outside my front door. I try to shoo them away so they won't jump into the apartment when I open the door but they are being stubborn. I sorta eventually work it out so I slip in the door without them following me... but I quickly try to close the door behind me so as to block them... and somehow in the confusion 2/3 of my shake ends up the carpeting.
...
I swear I didn't even know HOW you clean that up.
After about 5 minutes of fury, 5 of cleaning, 5 of venting to my friend who was laughing hysterically via google chat, I started looking up local fast food places online and calling them to find one that was open and had shakes. It turns out (after like 7 phone calls) there was a bk a little less than 2 miles away in a direction that had much fewer lights... so I got my shake and came back and ate it while watching Gasaraki.
I was SO mad though LOL
It seems so insignificant to drop your shake and all... but when you invested an hour of time while it's getting late and you have to get back on a work schedule soon... and you really had the whole mood going for eating/watching stuff at a certain time... it just SUCKS to look down and see your shake seeping into your carpeting.
Moral of the story: the crickets must die.
I drive back
