“IT’S A FUCKING BROKEN SYSTEM!” you’ll shout at your brother
in law, slamming your fist on the table with such force that the curly fries
will jump from their container and tumble all over the tray.
“Alright, I just –“ he’ll begin, but you won’t be having any
of it.
“Fucking it’s like you’re voting to fucking murder
people. Do you get that? Every time you vote the way you do you’re
voting to make sure that people don’t get medicine.” You’ll be spitting cheese and roast beef at
him. Chunks of it will splatter on his shirt,
but he won’t even notice your intensity will be so overwhelming.
“Please…” He’ll
gesture to everyone sitting around you.
They’ll all be focused intently on their meals. The employees will be talking amongst
themselves, chattering about you underneath their breath while they try to
figure out whether or not they should get a hold of the manager, who will be smirking
and staring at you and nodding.
“FUCK THEM AND FUCK YOU!” you’ll shout, stuffing your mozzarella
sticks and what’s left of your two roast beef sandwiches into a paper bag and
stomping off as the silence settles behind you.
You’ll literally be steaming in the desert rain as you walk across the
parking lot to the car, and when you get in you’ll settle behind the driver’s
seat and suddenly realize that you’re his ride.
You’ll stare at your food for a moment and wonder about whether or not
you should stay or go, whether you should just leave him for your sister to
pick up. He’s her fucking husband.
You’ll sit there and try to let the taste of mozzarella sticks
calm you down, but it won’t work. All
you’ll be able to think about is the day your sister married that prick and the
physical strain you felt with not standing up and speaking when the priest
asked if anyone in the crowd objected.
Congratulations on Making Everyone in Arby’s Uncomfortable!
