Late night drunk situation at McDonald's

          It was a Saturday night around 10 pm, I received a phone call maybe like 5 minutes later it was my best friend Perla. She wanted to go out so after 30 minutes we were in the lobby of McDonald's but we did not get food we were just having some ice tea and some ice cream of course. I decided to take my backpack to do some online homework since they offer free WiFi so it was a perfect place to do homework since it late night and there were not so many costumers so it was quiet.

          At first I thought it was a good idea to go to McDonald's but couple of hours later I did regret to say that it was a perfect place at that hour because 6 persons showed it was 4 guys with short, swag dressed like, they were African Americans, and the other 2 were white girls dressed like slackers. All of them unfortunately were drunk but it is that point of being drunk when they couldn't walk, talk or even act right. There ordering their it took them maybe more than 5 minutes, I mean who takes more then 5 minutes to order fast food. After that they went to get their drinks and decided to sit next to me and my best friend Perla. I did not care for a moment if they sat right next to me I was cool with it but later on they kind of felt like pushing my patience button.

        Well the way they started to bug me was by making fun of the shirt I was wearing, it was a bright pink color. Then they started to be more loud continuously and when people are hammered drunk they never find a way to shut up. This situation kept going for another 20 minutes and they thought it was funny but oh well that is was a natural reaction for them since alcohol makes your emotions kick in a little bit more than usual like love, laughter, and sorrow. At first it did get me in an angry feeling but I kept remembering that they were drunk so need to have a little bit of compassion and understanding.

        Thankfully I finished my homework earlier than I expected, it might of been a rough night but I got through it by controlling my patience. So a good word of advice by my experience is not to do homework in a local fast food place in a weekend even thought if they offer free WiFi because it is the perfect place for drunk to show up at night with lots of cravings.
