Today, I waited in line at a drive-through behind a man for ten minutes. I got out of my car, cursed at him, and then asked him to give me one good reason why it would take that long to order. The man slowly explained to me that he had a stutter. FML

Today, I was waiting in line for breakfast at the McDonald's drive-thru. After getting so fed up that the line hadn't budged for 10 mins, I pulled out of the line, only to realize I was waiting behind 2 parked cars that were just to the left of the drive-thru lane. FML

Today, I was stuck in the drive-thru line from hell. The guy in front of me started freaking out and demanded that I back out so he could pull out. I tried to tell him there were cars behind me, but that didn’t stop him from getting out of his car and kicking out my headlights. FML

Today, I went through the drive-through at Dunkin Donuts and asked for an iced coffee. After no response, I started frantically screaming about bad service. After a while, a woman came out to my car and said, "Please pull up to the speaker." I'd been yelling at a garbage bin for 5 minutes. FML

Today, while standing in line at a local Mexican fast food place, I was feeling generous and let a little kid behind me go in front. Turns out he had a list, and was ordering food for his whole family. I had to wait 30 minutes to get my food. FML

Today, a grown man yelled at me because he'd been waiting for 15 minutes and still hadn't been seated or had his order taken. We were at a self-serve breakfast buffet. FML

Today, while at a store, my stuttering problem became so bad the poor store clerk had to supply my own words for me. FML

Today, I decided to work on my social anxiety by ordering some food. I waited in line, practicing my order in my head all the way. When I got to the front, I said my order with no mistakes. The cashier just stared blankly at me until I mumbled, "Never mind..." and left. FML

Today, I went out to dinner. The waiter was pretty cute. He greets us, "Hi my name is... (long pause) Jordan." Thinking he was flirting, I quickly smart back, "Are you confused?" He says, "No actually, I have a stutter." FML

Today, I was in a hurry to get to work. I pulled impatiently behind a long line of cars to make a right hand turn. I sat there for 5 minutes. Turns out there wasn't a line to make a right hand turn. I had been waiting behind a line of parked cars. FML

Today, as I served an elderly man at the fast-food restaurant where I work, he leaned over the counter so that his face was mere inches from mine and asked me if I wanted to buy his car. When I politely told him I wasn't interested, he insisted on making a complaint about me to my manager. FML

Why the hell would you go screaming at the driver? The people working drive-thru could've been slow for all you know.

To everyone saying it's ok b/c OP didn't know he stuttered - so what??? Since when is getting out of your car and screaming at someone a mature, acceptable reaction to anything short of them trying to harm someone? And to everyone saying he should have gone inside - sometimes it's easier for someone with a stutter to speak when they're not face to face. It's less pressure. Besides - there are a ton of things that could make you wait for 10 minutes in a drive through line: the restaurant could be short-handed, a machine could be broken, or there could be 10 people in front of you because it just happens to be lunch or dinner time. If it were one of those, would it be OK for OP to go in and scream at everyone in the restaurant, or to go scream at every car in front of hers? Waiting 10 minutes for food is not a big deal. Either accept the fact that you can't have everything you want the exact second you want it, go somewhere else, or - crazy idea - cook something.

recently seeing comments, to the two saying, "she's american" should be slapped. I have a lot of friends who are nice, I'm american. Think about what you said, kinda racist.
