I had a run in in the drive thru a couple years back. I pulled into one of the two lanes at McD, and another car went through the second lane. I wait my turn, and then try to pull forward, but the person in the other car was riding up on the bumper of the person ahead of them, like, clearly intentionally making sure there was no room for me to take my turn.
So I roll down my window and call out “Hey, they’re gonna get our orders mixed up” and before I’d even finished my sentence the driver GOES BALLISTIC on me. Just screaming “oh my God, really? Really?? Over a burger? Really?? Really? Really??” And I just rolled my window back up. The person drove forward just far enough to keep me from moving ahead, but not far enough to get to the first window to pay. They waited. Waited until the line cleared up. Then they gunned it past the pay window and straight to the food window.
I pulled up to the pay window, rolled mine down and loudly declared “Yeah, could I get my receipt too? I think this person ahead of my is trying to take my food!”
At which point the driver ahead of me peeled out of the drive thru without having received any food.
Window person said that such a tactic had been done a few other times that month by other people.

McD is the kind of place where they would say “Tough shit, re-order” as well. That’s why I stopped going like a decade ago.
Sell car, buy food
In Soviet US, door dashes you.
Would have been hilarious if they slid into a curb while peeling out and got stuck because their wheel got fucked up.
