If this happens every time, I think the universe is telling you not to get those burgers at the drive-through! 

PS, and no this doesn't happen to me - I can't remember the last time I was at a place with a drive through. Except the bank.

No, I haven't purchased food from a drive-through in 16 years. I eat healthier than that these days because my bride is a health coach on the side. But, I do manage to get behind the guy with all day to drive through San Diego when I'm running late. 😡🙄
