People who put question marks at the end of statements piss me off and it definitely shouldn't. Statements like "I thought we already did that?". Drives me ****ing crazy.
Wasn't fast food. It was Murphy's Deli which is a walk-in, sit down deli. I expected a 97 IQ instead of the 92ish you'd find at McDonald's.
Good call on the not-actually-questions statements. You see it all the time, even on this site, whose (who's?) posters have an average IQ of 167.

I think so, too, but history shows her orders go more smoothly and are more often correct when we get home than mine. I try to make it "easy" on them by giving a concise order in as few words as possible and apparently they can't handle being told what cheese you want before they enter "burger". It's to the point where sometimes I tell her what I want and have her say the order.

"do you want that in a combo?"
"I want a #5"
"regular or large" (They don't even mention medium is the price on the menu).
This reminds me of how tilting it is to go to a drive-through and hear this: "Welcome to ______, would you like to try one of our new ______, or a ________ today?"
I don't even answer them anymore and just wait for them to STFU then say "Let me get a number 5 with Coke Zero please."
My dad is officially the worst drive-through orderer of all-time though. It was a 100% guarantee that he'd get pissed off by the end of the order.
