Big Sky II

There's a Starbucks in a strip mall near where Harlan's family lives which includes a drive-thru window. We went one afternoon and got in line behind some gi-normous pickup truck and quickly noticed that while the truck was parked at the entrance, it was just sitting there, not moving, and there was a huge gap in the line between the truck and the person picking up their order. After a minute or so, we looked around and noticed that the dude who owned the truck was standing outside, yakking away to one of his friends who was sitting outside at some tables outside. This despite the fact he was blocking the way into the drive thru. Or could have easily just parked right next to the guy and gotten out to talk to him that way.

Seeing this, we maneuvered around the pickup truck, something that wasn't easy owing to it's size, and made our order, giving the guy a little stink eye as we passed him. He of course, saw our stankeye and gave us the look that he could care less. When we drove away, we saw about three cars in line, all behind the truck and all trying to figure out what exactly was going on.
