A NEW MEANING TO EMBARRASSMENT.

story time!

okay. so yesterday i took my lunch as usual around 1pm. i figured i'd grab something quick at micky Dz because i had some errands to run and didn't have much time to eat.

i walk into micky Dz and was thinking double quarter pounder meal all the way. THEN i saw a sign for 39 cent Hamburgers and 49 cent Cheeseburgers. I thought to myself, hotness, if i stock up now, i can eat them for breakfast/lunch/dinner/snack. (yeah, i'm grossly unhealthy, that comes with the territory when ur cheap like me)

i pull out my wallet while i'm on line and then i simply FREAK. dood, it's not my wallet. it's pecker's. crapola. maybe it god switched last night. i check his wallet for cash, figuring i can pay him back later but all he has are random scraps of paper! then i eye the american express card and lasalle debit card.

BANK BABY! thank the lordy for mcdonald's speed pass where you can just swipe the card without having to sign or verify anything.

so when it's time for me to order i'm all confident

me: yeah, lemme get a double quarter lber meal, supersized.

employee: will that be all sir?

me: o yeah, can i get 10 cheeseburgers (i was actually think about possibly getting 20)

employee gives me a nod and a slight smirk: sure thing man. that'll be $10.37.

so i swipe pecker's card and i go off dreamin bout processed meats and chesses and how good those fries are gonna taste. then the guy wakes me back into reality and tells me the card has been declined. first thought that popped into my mind is: aiyah, maybe he thought his wallet was stolen so he called in to cancel his card....

NAW... no way, pecker's not that responsible.

then i try his debit card, and...

It's DECLINED AS WELL. the guy just stares at me while the order is ready to go.

then something funny strange happened. I started developing a strange animosity towards pecker for declining his cards. i grabbed my cell and tried calling him to yell at him. he picked up and was like, yeah, none of the cards work. i have a piece of paper in their with a card # and exp date. try that.

ghetto. the cashier was just like...ehhhh...we need the actual physical card.

so i leave micky Dz feelin truly embarrassed. and for some reason, I STILL BLAMED PECKER IN MY MIND. haha.

i sat down in my car ready to leave, realizing i would have no lunch today when i saw digi's change on the car floor. i was like, oooh maybe i can get something with this. and digi turned out to have exactly 90 cent total.

i was like damn! i can only get 1 cheese burger for 49 cents. 1 cheeseburger isn't going to fill me up. BUT THEN i realized, IF I GET 2 HAMBURGERS AND FOREGO THE CHEESE, I'LL BE SITTING PRETTY.

so i walk back up to the same cashier i slam down 10 dimes and 1 nickle and order my two hamburgers. i am hardcore.
