I went to Wendy’s for lunch. Big surprise, I know. There were three teenagers standing in line. They didn’t seem to actually be IN line, they were just having a boisterous conversation in the space reserved for the line. I had to inch past them when the person behind the counter waved me up, realizing that the trio of morons weren’t going to move.
So I order and pick a seat, and begin to eat my lunch, when the trio decide to order and take a seat at the table right next to me, continuing to be as loud as possible. I was slightly annoyed, but not too much. After all, I can remember many occasions where my friends and I were far louder than these teenagers.
Perhaps it was karmic retribution.
Anyhow, I finish eating and take my tray to the garbage can, and I notice an employee approaching the trio. I figured he was there to quiet them down, but then I hear, “I’m going to have to ask you to put the straws back.”
My brain stopped for a moment. What?
Sure enough, I turn, and there is a giant pile of straws on their table. Literally, the ENTIRE contents of the straw bin was there. What motive could there be in taking all the straws?
Seriously, what’s wrong with people?
Zel-kun out.

Yeah, I know why they had straws. Two words: Spit Balls.
I check and make sure that the kids throw out their straws when they leave the lunch room. They’ve been known to sneak them up and start launching spit balls in the classrooms…
Goodness, I feel like an old woman.

But, they had… like two hundred straws!

Probably just being annoying and seeing how much they could influence their environment. I used to do dumb ‘pranks’ like that…
