Originally uttered by Leo Geotz (played by Joe Pesci) in "Lethal Weapon 2", it has come to signify a grudging acceptance of a shitty situation that one is powerless to change.
What, you just paid a $5 ATM fee to withdraw $40? Well, they fuck you at the drive-thru.
The short version of saying, "I'm too lazy to get out of my car."
Generally used large families, who order more than $50 worth of food, and then expect it to be ready in twenty seconds, because they believe the machines are magical and willcook faster because they used the drive thru.
Those annoying people who tie up the traffic flow at fast food drive-thru lines.Typically, they are a mommy van full of rowdy rug rats or an entire soccer team who pull up to the intercom without having decided what everybody wants.After holding up the line for 15 minutes,they again stall the flow at the pay window where they change and modify their orders.Then at the pick-up window they get their 5 bags of grub and only pull up half a car length where they begin dividing and distributing the bounty but still blocking traffic because nobody can get around them.
Shit! I can't get around those fucking drive thru squatters because they've stopped to do a french fry audit.
Window at the side of fast food places where you can get food (of some description) without leaving your car. Also sometimes a place where you can get good drugs without leaving your car, if you know the right stuff to order. Primarily a North American thing, in tune with the American way of conducting as much of life as possible from the car.
I don't want a sit-down meal tonight, let's just get something at the drive-thru.
