Story of 'revenge' in Maccas drive-thru not quite as it seems
A story of 'revenge' in a McDonald's drive-thru has done the rounds on Facebook, but all is not as it seems.
In a post that's gone viral, an anonymous woman documented her response to an impatient "young lady" who beeped at her in at their local drive-thru because she was taking too long.
However, as the post attracted attention from commenters, the woman quickly clarified she copied the post from an old friend, and revealed: "I don't do McDonald's."

"It's so petty ... so incredibly petty ... it made me laugh like a drain," a woman who uploaded a screenshot of the post to Twitter wrote.
People were quick to label the tale as the "lowest of low" and "funny, but not good."
"Two wrongs don't make a right," reminded one.
