    [​IMG] Woman Gets 10 Years for McDonald's Mayo Spat

    HOUSTON (Reuters) - A Texas woman was sentenced to 10 years in jail for running over the manager of a McDonald's with her car because she wanted mayonnaise on her cheeseburger.

    Waynetta Nolan, 37, showed no emotion Thursday as the sentence was read in court following a trial in which the McDonald's manager, Sherry Jenkins, said she gave Nolan the mayonnaise she requested, but she flew into a rage anyway.

    "I gave her everything she asked for -- mayonnaise, no mustard, onions, everything I could possibly do for this lady. Mayo, mayo, mayo, and it's still not good enough," Jenkins told reporters outside the courtroom.

    Nolan, who was convicted of aggravated assault for the April 23 incident, became so angry when a McDonald's employee told her she could not get mayonnaise that she threw her cheeseburger into the drive-through the window, witnesses said.

    Jenkins tried to placate her by offering a cheeseburger with mayonnaise, but Nolan continued to make demands until Jenkins finally called police.

    When she went outside to write down Nolan's license plate number, Nolan ran her over, breaking her pelvis.

    Nolan testified that she was putting ketchup on her cheeseburger when she accidentally struck Jenkins.

    I'm not sure whether to joke about this or not, so I'll leave it up to the others. :p

    Totally sweet.

    Dude. I dunno what's up with these old chicks. One gets pissed when she burns the heck out of herself on coffee she should *know* is hot. And now the mayo?

    I had a friend from Minnesota tell me a story. About some chick that stuck her head out of her minivan and into the drive-through window, screaming and gesturing. I don't care what kind of sex-toy you just got in your happy meal, I'd never stick my head through the window to yell at people; I'd go inside with a ball bat and a sneer.

    Honestly. I've no idea what the world is comming to...

    [edit: So, did anyone notice that litle PsT reference? Or what?]

    LMAO! I know it may not be in the best of taste to laugh, but god it's funny. Talk about flipping out...to run over someone because of mayonnaise??? (Personally, I hate the stuff, except when it's mixed in stuff so I can't see it.) :D

    [​IMG] Yeah, like a McD cheeseburger doesn't have enough fat content? She needs to add mayo?? It's the manager's fault for not realising right away that the woman was nuts. :spin:

    Go to bed already Chev, or the headline will be 'Polish Paladin goes Postal'.

    I hate mayo, and once drop kicked a mayo-covered burger in its styrofoam container. The container exploded and covered me with mayo.

    I was very drunk at the time and it had been one wrong fast food order too many. These days I always open the burger before leaving the 'restaurant' and if (when) its wrong, I return the food whilst slowly and politely intoning that I accept the food servers carelessness as being due to their obvious retardation.

    It was foolish for the person jailed to think that all Fast Food staff are pigeon brained and will instinctively get out of a cars way.

    [​IMG] Anyone wonder what the manager was thinking? :confused:

    A crazed lady in a minivan is yelling and screaming a throwing food products at you and you go outside and stand in front of her vehicle? I mean, come on. That's just asking for it. :D

    This is kind of related, but more of an aside.

    I'm betting the chick was told to park for her order. And she parked in a straight-in space. The manager came to the car window, the woman got bent, and cut her wheels all the way to the right and *backed-up*. So, the manager had her thigh and the the right side of her pelvis run over as she was knocked down by the front left fender, swinging around.

    Seriously. People just don't survive across your abdomen (the entire pelvic area). That is a bloody-harsh kind of trauma. Gives me the willies just thinking about it.

    Also, I see many Mcdonalds that hire people, who might otherwise be out wondering the streets or peddling crack-cocaine to children. There's some good they really do, but it's most obvious only in certain cities.

    Actually, there is more to the coffee case that....err.....was mentioned in an above post than most know about. LOL It was actually a very legitimate case. If you want more info, just ask me.

    As for this....I do wonder what the heck that manager was thinking going outside to confront an obviously disturbed customer. :eek: I mean really!!??!??!! The only thing that I can think of, is yes McDonald's (and a few other fast food restraunts) seem to hire mostly those individuals that are "challenged" in some form or another. You have to know these days that 75% of the time, your order is likely to be wrong, and remain calm even if it is agravating!

    Good Lord what is this world coming too!

    McDonald's burgers being as shallow as they are, I cannot blame her for demanding some extra mayonese to fill it up. :p Eheh, if the yankees get any 'stouter', I would expect more incidents like this to happen. :D

    LMAO! I read about this in the paper yesterday. It was buried in the back of the front page section.

    According to the LA times, the manager was asked to write down the license plate number of the car by the police, and that's when she was hit.

    Oh, and get this: The woman said she was startled by a car horn and accelerated, and that's how she hit the manager. Can you imagine? What kind of a driver automatically stomps on the accelerator upon hearing a car horn? She should have her license revoked as well at the ten years :)

    I really have little to add except *shakes head*.

    Oh, and now I can say that McDonald's really will break your pelvis.

    see if you can figure out this encoded message...

    NxSibpksa ayjxd!

    hint: look at you keyboard, then just to to the right.

    Shouldn't it be "NxSibpksa ayxja!" ? Probably a typo. Also your encoding doesn't work on azerty keyboards. (I'm one of the few in my country to use qwerty)

    @MC; you got the damn order wrong, I'll see you in the carpark! :mad: ;)

    @World; Each different account on the web has the driver giving a different excuse. It sounds like the clash to two ***** personalities. 'I'm not stopping' ***** met 'I,m not moving' *****. I think they should have both got 5 years apiece.
