Once upon a time, long ago, there were three very educated (studied astrology), well-off (like royalty), and religious (lots of vows had been taken) gentleman who went on a road trip together.
Using their ability to 'follow the stars' as a map, Balt, Cass and Mel headed out on their trip to find someone they felt was very special, in a spiritual kind of way. They had many backpacks full of food and drink when they set out, to sustain them on their long trip.
After finding the young fellow they were looking for, and giving him all kinds of crazy gifts that he probably at the time thought were useless and boring, the three headed back home. Learning that 'Big Brother' was watching and following, they decided to take a different route home.
After a few days of driving, Balt, Cass and Mel realized their food and drink supply was running very low. Just thinking of running out of food was making them hungry. And hungry men are grumpy men!!!!
Finally, they come upon a place which offered a night's rest and food. They didn't need a room, but eating was high on their list of things to do on this trip!
They handed the reins to their camels (yes, camels) to a livestocksman and went inside the Inn to place orders for food, asking that it be wrapped for travel, and they planned to go down the road a bit, pitch camp and cook the food they purchased.
After the transaction was made with the innkeeper, the three fellows loaded up their food and climbed back on the camels and headed out.
None of them could wait to see what the food looked like and even though they knew it was not cooked yet, they had to take a peek.
Balt opened his bag and saw a nice leg of lamb, just like he ordered!
Cass opened unwrapped his parcel and there were the three big fish he asked for!
Mel opened his pack and was shocked to see instead of the shoulder of calf he'd asked for, there was a plucked goose instead!
Well, you can imagine how angry Mel was! He hastily wrapped the goose back up in its pack and slung it towards the window of the Inn and screamed 'This is not what I ordered'! Instead of calmly walking back in the Inn and getting his order straightened out, he kicked his camel which made the camel take off with a start! He screamed and shouted the whole time he was passing by the Inn and when the Innkeeper stuck his head out the window to see what the commotion was, all he could see was a cloud of sand and one fist sticking up from the cloud - shaking in anger!
The Innkeeper was stunned, but he couldn't help but chuckle because the camel-rider looked so ridiculous! He thought to himself, "Hey, I don't make much profit from selling meat to the traveler's", so he turned and went on about his business.
Meanwhile, Mel went on down the road hungry and his friends were ticked because he embarrassed them.
Now you know where the first case of drive-thru rage originated. (And try to remember, the drive-thru folks don't make much money, so they probably don't care if they mess up your order. And if you make a scene, you are fueling their laughter and your friends are probably not going to share their food with you!)
