McDonald's Customers Are Sharing How They Hacked The Menu In 30 Pics

When I worked at McDonald's mid-90's, they had a dessert feature called Apple Pie ala Mode and it was an apple pie on a plate, between two ice cream swirls and all covered in caramel sauce. It was pretty popular. I don't know why they got rid of it.

Story About An Entitled Person Who Aggressively Demanded To Be Served Mac And Cheese At Wendy's Goes Viral

I worked at McDonald's in the mid 90's when they used to serve pizza. Three jackasses from my high school came through the drive-thru one evening and claimed that they ordered 4 pizzas on the way to a funeral and only got two. And guess what? The "customer is always right" (such a BS phrase) and those guys got their two pizzas.

'I’ve Always Wanted To Find Her And Thank Her Because Gosh, I Love Her': Woman Tracks Down Her Favorite High School Teacher On Twitter And Leaves People In Tears

Just this past summer, I emailed a high school teacher I had 22 years ago to let her know the lasting impact that she had on me when I dropped her course. At the time, she told me I was a strong writer and hoped that I'd pick it up again. In fact, this past winter, I did and have been working towards a creative writing certificate. She was blown away and did remember me, even though it felt I was only in her class for just a few weeks. Initially, I felt a bit silly for reaching out but realized that people deserve to know their words and actions matter. If someone has made a difference in your life, let them know!

30 People Share The Most Surreal Encounter They Had With Someone Famous

These are all very incredible and sweet stories! Some celebs have bad reputations for being stuck up d***s but there are MANY who are human just like the rest of us and think nothing of having a regular interaction with another person. We may put them on pedestals but from their perspective, they're standing on the same ground as everyone else. They probably have zero idea of the lasting impact they leave on people when they give their time and attention to them as illustrated in these stories.

A big ol' f**k you to that guy. Sorry. It had to be said. I was a tom boy and have had plenty of skinned knees and broken other things as a child but nothing compared to being doubled over in pain for hours and vomiting. The degree varies from woman to woman but yeah, f**k that guy.

lol...I think the marker on the wall is suffice. The contraption hanging from the ceiling is a bit overkill. Many of us park very well with what is on the ground. Others may have to practice....or at the very least give a s**t about how they park, because let's face it...there are some lazyass people out there.

50 Things People Considered 'Normal' While Growing Up, Only To Find Out They're Actually Weird

My family and I grunt when we hug. Do others do this? It started when I was really young, about 4 years old. My Dad asked for a hug. I did and he said, "Hug me like you mean it!" and so I did – naturally with a grunting noise. It became a thing and even though my Dad has been gone for 15 years now, my mother sister and I, even when we lightly touch cheeks, it's often with an audible "Argh!"

39 Survival Tips That Everyone Needs To Know

So true. I've often thought about the unthinkable and what if DT was ushered into some underground bunker after he set the world ablaze. Would he or anyone with him think any of it was salvageable? They would 100% kill each other, which is kind of a comforting thought. lol

50 Hilariously Horrible 'Worst Summer Jobs'

Growing up, my Mom worked at the nursing home just across the street from our home. Often while playing on the front lawn, my sister and I would hear the alarm and there was my mother along with 3-4 other staff members chasing someone in a wheelchair down the sidewalk. My sister and I would excitedly wave, "Hi Mom!!!"
