Okay, this is actually somewhat believable if you've ever been to a REALLY small town with a local family-owned restaurant. I was in bum-gently caress Oregon (I think the town was called "White City") this summer and our server (who was being "trained" by the two grandma's who ran the restaurant) was literally 10 years old. But yea, it only goes downhill from there.

To this day, I consider it a miracle that this vile woman was the only customer we had during this whole ordeal, because what happened next was not one of my finest moments; I went from zero to Xenomorph in two seconds flat. After one last attempt to apologize and offer her anything but a taco, poo poo got real. “SHUT THE loving WINDOW, YOU loving oval office,” she screamed at me while taking off her seat-belt. “SHUT THE loving WINDOW SO I CAN BREAK IT, PULL YOUR loving HEAD THROUGH AND DECAPITATE YOU! I WANT MY drat TACOS!” I took that as a threat, and my head went through the window, sure, but so did nearly my entire body. I just remember lunging and grabbing a hold of the outside wall. I know I was yelling terrible things at her, and she was yelling back. That drunk bitch threatened to take my life over tacos, and I was mad as all hell. I’m pretty sure I broke the headset. I don’t know for how long I was attempting to claw my way out of the drive-thru window; I’m sure it seemed a lot longer than it really was. All I remember apart from the yelling was my Shift Leader grabbing my ankles and my former BFF grabbing my hips. They pulled me back through the window, and I was ushered to the back-room break area by the drive-thru girl, sat down on one of the crappy old chairs, and told to take a breather. I could still hear the drunken taco lady screaming.

I can't parse this. The outside wall? My hips and ankles?? How far out the window did this guy go?

Probably the entirety of their upper body, the two were able to grab the ankles since they were above the ground and hips because they were still in the window. They're pulling themselves out with the wall, not trying to get back in with it.

Or, real answer: No part of them left the building because no part of them was ever working inside of it.

I made this same joke at work the other day, except it took maybe two short sentences. My manager laughed, told the other manager the joke, then we all forgot about it because we are functional normal people.

I didn't even bother to call my sister.

A Runway Runaway
AIRPORT | LOUISBURG, NC, USA | BAD BEHAVIOR, CRAZY REQUESTS, TOURISTS/TRAVEL
(I work at a small airport in Louisburg. We don’t have many commercial planes fly in but when we do they are normal small bush planes with only a few people on board. We have had a runway problem and can’t take any planes off today; the runway is having work done.)

Pilot: “Excuse me, but why has my flight been canceled?”

Me: “We are having a problem with our runway and can’t take any flights today.”

Pilot: “Well, that’s bull-s***. I was just out there and it was fine.”

Me: “I’m sorry but as you can see…” *points out to runway with workers* “There are people working on it today.”

Pilot: “NO! I SEE NOTHING. NOW LET ME THROUGH TO GET TO MY PLANE!”

Me: “Sir, I’m very sorry but I cannot let you through. Can you please calm down; I will be able to get you in the air first thing tomorrow.”

Pilot: “No, I’ve had enough of you. Out of my WAY!”

(He then pushed me out of the way and onto the floor and started to walk over to the hanger. I scrambled to my feet and called the workers and my supervisor to tell them what was coming, and called the police. The other worker and I sprinted over to the hanger and managed to get the hanger door closed before he could start the plane. After a while the police came and took him away, as he was going to try and take his plane off with people working on the runway!)

They think it lends them credence. It makes it seem like they're blanking the name out to protect their/the protagonist's identity, lest the story's villain come across the story. Kind of like when people complain about their workplace but avoid coming out and saying where they work for fear of litigation issues, except it's dumber and also stupid.

No, it does not count unless they recognize fully, without sugarcoating, that they are the idiot causing the problem in the story.

That's a good way to ruin a chopping block, cutting board, butcher knife (or a chef knife), but more importantly, why would she need butchery tools at a lunch restaurant?

"Excuse me, madam, but would you awfully mind fetching me the cereal brand I desire from the back room?" I asked.
"BLARGH!" replied the human porkchop. "NO CAN'T!! GOTTA SEND IT BACK CAUSE METAL IN BOXES!! FLIERP!!" they shot back, fatly.
"Now, now." I chuckled reasonably. "If you don't want to retrieve it for me, I'd be happy to go collect it myself." And I started for the employee area, smiling kindly and applying a modicum of pressure to her shoulder, sending her careening violently into a pyramid of soup cans. "Oops." I tittered.
