Coffee time

So a friend of mine while walking down the street desires for a coffee. Luckily enough he spots a Tim Hortons and off he heads in it's direction. Now lazy as he is, he wonders whether he can avoid opening a door for himself and get his coffee more easily. A brainwave strikes him, he walks to the drive through counter to get his coffee. Now the dear lady at Tim Horton's who'd probably been working there for a long time, didn't know what was coming. In all her years of service, her drive through customers drove up to her counter and were always a few feet away within the unthreatening confines of a vehicle. She was probably cleaning up the place and thus was bent over looking down. Imagine the shock she would have had when she looked up to see a face barely a few inches from hers, that was our friend trying to get his coffee. I am sure she would have jumped out of her skin, and later our friend did confirm the same. It took her a while to gather her jittery self, and she proceeded to explain to him that he could get his coffee inside. But then he poses a very valid question, does he need to have a car to get his coffee??? That single question evoked enough sympathy(or amusement) in her to make him his coffee.
He got his coffee, she got the much needed excitement in an otherwise boring job and all of us here got a story to laugh our asses off. We're all happy.
