Ladies and Gentlemen, presenting the recipient of today’s ‘Winner at Life‘ award:
The guy who bought all the pies.
A man was in line at Burger King with a really rude, bratty kid behind him, and the kid kept demanding his mother buy him ‘a fucking pie’.
So this guy decided to teach the kid a lesson. An awesome lesson.
He admitted the story on Reddit and immediately became an internet legend:
So a while ago I had decided to treat myself and go to Burger King. I hadn’t had the greatest of days and I had a headache coming on. It was a very long line and I was at the end of it waiting patiently. When behind me comes this woman yapping on her cellphone with a little monster of a child. This kid was out of control, screaming, punching his mother throwing around a gameboy whenever something didn’t go right in the game. The mother didn’t seem to pay any attention to him and his continued yelling of ‘I want a Fucking PIE’.
After about 5 minutes of the line with these people behind me, I had gone from a headache to a full on migraine, but nothing was going to stop me from getting those burgers. I calmly turn and ask her nicely if she can please calm or quiet her child down.Immediately she gets up in my face telling me I can’t tell her nothing about raising her child and to mind my own business. I nod and turn around, she’s still yelling at the back of my head when the child cries out again how he wants a pie, the mother consoles him, calling him sweety and ensuring they’ll get pies for lunch because she loves him so much.
Things immediately go back to the way they were and I wait another 5 minutes before getting to the front of the line. It turns out it was so slow because they had 1 trainee on cash during the lunch hour rush. All I can think of is how the people behind me ruined my splurge and gave me this headache.
I then decide to ruin their day.
I order every pie they have left in addition to my burgers. Turned out to be 23 pies in total, I take my order and walk towards the exit. Moments later I hear the woman yelling, what do you mean you don’t have any pies left, who bought them all? I turn around and see the cashier pointing me out with the woman shooting me a death glare. I stand there and pull out a pie and slowly start eating eat as I stare back at her. She starts running towards me but can’t get to me because of other lineups in the food court. I turn and slowly walk away.

it does seem like the wrong thing for this woman to do by giving him a pie, but we should all offer to help a mother before we judge her. you don't know what she's going through, or what that kid is going through. maybe he is an asshole, and the fact that he demands "fucking pies" and his mother too. but just because she's on her phone and not being the perfect parent, doesn't mean this is the prevailing truth. do we all have to be "on" mothers 24/7?
You don't really believe, do you, that in any universe it's just fine and ''let's not judge'' when you are in public and there is a child with its parent, being allowed to shout and swear with no reprimand? I have 3 boys, they are FAR from angels, and I am the first to say I have many ''off'' days, but just one moment of that kind of behaviour = no Burger King or pie or whatever for you.
Sounds like the only winner in this story is Burger King. Go cook something good at home and everyone will be healthier and happier.
