Some bad ideas from late last evening:
Bad idea #1: going to the 24-hour McDonald's at 1am.
Bad idea #2: Upon finding two urban youths standing at the drive-thru window without a car, trying to talk to them.
I mean, it wasn't as if I was trying to be buddy-buddy with them - I just wanted them to get out of the way so I could drive up to the window in my, you know, car. Here's how that lovely conversation played out:
Me: Are you guys done?
Youths: [turn and silently stare at me]
Me: I just don't want to run you over with my car.
Youth #1: Oh, no one's running us over.
Me: Yeah, I said I don't want to run you over.
Youth #1: Believe me, ain't no one running us over.
Me: So we're in agreement then.
Youths: [have a conference in which I lipread "make him apologize"]
Just as my impatience for burgers was about turn into bloodlust, they turned and walked away, leaving me and my friends to eat the most delicious quarter pounders in history. Grade D beef always tastes better after a near-death experience.

You should've come with us to Hi Fi instead. No ornery youths, just aging hipsters.
That may have been the greatest cockblock in the history of guys walking through drivethru's on foot to hit on McDonald's employees at 2AM. You totally stepped on his game.
Wow. You seeked out the only food worse than Hi-Fi.
Hmmm... I don't remember being invited to the Hi-Fi. Maybe I blacked out during that invite.
The past tense of seek is sought.
I hate you.
No, it turns out Tony was correct the first time. It's seeked.
I think you should check your Strunk and White, Mr. Diggity.
Oh right. Hey Brendo, want to come with us to Hi-Fi last night?
Wait, can Strunk and White also fix this tense problem?
