i pulled into McDonalds for a #3 ...bacon egg and cheese biscuit combo , which i might add hit the spot .
anyway , there was a line in the drive thru of about 5 cars . i was next to pull up and order when this car with two younger guys came from the opposite direction and tried to cut in front of me .
as they were inching closer expecting to cut in when the line started moving , i inched up letting them know they weren't getting in front of me . so there we are practically face to face . they were giving me the stink eye , but i held my ground .
as the line moved up , it was obvious that the next car wasn't going to let them cut either .
so they put it in reverse and burned rubber to demonstrate their anger .
they ended up going around and getting in line like the rest of us .
moral of the story ...don't get pushed around .
and , bacon egg and cheese biscuits are yummy
Amen. Often,if asked nicely, I do allow interlopers, depending upon how I feel - sometimes people do make mistakes. If someone demands to be allowed to do their misdeed, I tend to resist. And it's not like I'm some macho, in-your-face type of guy. After all, I'm 112 years old. 
My wife says that I can be too aggressive. I maintain that I am only assertive, mostly willing to go along to get along.
