It was New Year’s Day, and Toledo’s Melodi Dushane really, really, really wanted some Chicken McNuggets. Apparently McDonald's Rage incidents have been err... growing.
Although violent acts occurring at the fast-food franchise are well documented, some oppose the view that there is a correlation between violent acts and the McDonald's diet, and go as far as suggesting that the opposite is true on a global scale.

This post was deleted for the following reason: this is a bad mix of news of the weird and "crazy people r crazy amirite" interesting-ish event but maybe not quite right for here. -- jessamyn
The embedded video in the link ironically says it all about Ms. McNugget's experience at the drive thru.

Flagged as "trying too hard to un-Fark-ify" a SLYT post.

If this sort of behaviour is becoming more common (and that's a big if; the amplifying power of the internet might make the problem seem worse than it really is), it's probably because people feel so powerless on a macro level that they flip out when they don't get their way on a micro level.

There really have been a lot of these reported lately. That doesn't mean that they're happening more -- it just means they're being reported more. And probably the reason that they're being reported more is that there is handy video surveillance footage to draw people into the story, which makes for cheap and easy page views.

What exactly happens at 1:30? Did she channel a sumo wrestler for half a second?

McNugget is a hell of a drug.

Fast food treats customers like infants, is it any wonder when they act like one?

McNuggets are really sounding good right now even after reading this.
I skipped lunch, but still, I think there is obviously something seriously strong/wrong in the McD's food if that is my reaction to this story.

The employees at my local Burger King have never once agreed to change or spoonfeed me, no matter how much I cried. Is there a special promotion going on where you are?

I am just shocked that the thing she used to smash the window was a beer bottle!

But my favorite part was where the McDonalds employee calmly opened the smashed window and served the next car in line.

The language used by customers has become very telling. You will often hear someone say a variant of "I want my X." My implies that they own it. It is already theirs, in their heads. This, despite the fact that nobody has agreed to give it to them and they have yet to pay for it. Desire has become synonymous with having acquired. If they cannot have the X, which is theirs already, anger happens.
I notice more tantrum-like behavior from people who use this particular language, but that is just me. I would love to see a solid study done on this.

I hate to take the drunk, angry bitch's side, but sometimes you want McNuggets before 10:30. It's a stupid policy, really.

More from the angry self-entitlement files: "My season finale of Criminal Minds, the latter half of it, was interrupted because this douchebag was on my damn screen talking about a freaking damn tornado that wasn't anywhere near me... It would be different if it was near me. It was NOT near me. There was no, no excuse for him to be breaking in during the show."

Full confession: I've had an angry confrontation with a McDonald's manager after I've waited in the breakfast line for 15 minutes, only to find out that I can't get breakfast because it's 10:31. I can see the DAMN SAUSAGE BISCUIT RIGHT THERE! Are you going to throw it away?
Yes. They're going to throw it away. Stupid policy.

Is this one of those times when it's acceptable to say "meh?" Because that's my way of saying meh.
