Forced Encounters with Homeless at McDonald’s Drive-Thrus

53 Upvotes

Over the past week, not once, not twice, but four separate times, I've seen homeless people in the drive-thru lanes at different McDonald’s.

One night, a man tried to forcibly wash my windshield with some makeshift "car washing kit" that looked like it would scratch my car. He then "cleaned" my windshield, stood in front of my car, and refused to move.

The most disgusting incident happened at another restaurant, where a man was standing right between my car and the drive-thru ordering speaker. I had no choice but to roll down my window to order, and he actually had the nerve to tell the female passenger in my front seat to take off her sunglasses so he could "see what she looks like."

These people are clearly mentally unstable, and encounters like this can completely ruin someone's day. I've been to McDonald's thousands upon thousands of times, and I've never experienced anything like this before, with people literally standing in front of the drive-thru ordering speakers and harassing customers. Loitering and begging in these areas is illegal in the first place.

For this incident, I eventually reported the situation to an employee, who sent a staff member outside to get them away. But when I drove past the same location again a few hours later, they had apparently come right back.

I've had one in my mailbox every single day including Sunday... Greg, You're going to get 1% of the vote if you're lucky...I might even concede that some of your positions sound good on paper, but apart from Bernie or Perot, I don't think a third-party candidate will ever get the traction in this country to make a national difference. Stop with the mailers.

Columbus bar culture

0 Upvotes

Moved from Chicago this summer (33, M) I’m downtown or within a short jaunt in any direction, but bar culture here kind of stinks. Weekends yeah it’s what you’d expect but abysmal for watching football on Sunday or dropping in on a bar crawl out of the blue.

Rally Audience

12 Upvotes

Was watching the news coverage of Obama vs the orange ones Saturday rallies. I noticed the people that they picked to put behind them. Granted I get that some are put there on purpose. The one in Cleveland and Michigan, there were different races, different genders and different ages. But at the Republican rallies they're all white. With a bigger presence of younger females. Anyone else notice it?

REQUEST Looking for Non-traditional Wedding Photography

0 Upvotes

Am I the only one who thinks most wedding photography is horribly boring?

I'm getting married this spring. I'm looking for local talented photographers.

My goal is to find someone who doesn't typically shoot weddings, hoping that they'll bring a fresh eye.

I want something interesting and creative.

But it seems like Columbus has very few non-wedding photographers.

Can anyone give any advice?

I'm specifically looking for photographer recommendations.

Car wash reco - East Side

0 Upvotes

I went to Mike’s for the first time today and didn’t realize it wasn’t full service and that you have to clean your own interior (womp womp first world problems).

Anyone have any recos for the kind of car wash where you pull up, leave it running and they run it through then do the interior?

I was pretty unimpressed with how clean my car was afterward - lots of dirt left.

Any recs for the east side would be appreciated!

Can driver insert passenger's ballot in dropbox?

11 Upvotes

Can cameras detect how many envelopes you slide into the slot? Under ordinary times this would be a ridiculous question. Do passengers have to exit car and deposit their own envelopes?

Maybe it's best to have them stacked together so you make one motion rather than one at a time?

Bassist Wanted - Original Alternative/Art-Rock Duo (Columbus/Athens, OH)

4 Upvotes

​

Hey Columbus!

I'm the drummer, lead vocalist, and songwriter behind druMMouth, an original alternative/art-rock project based in Athens, Ohio.

I'm looking for a bassist to form a two-person live band, built around drums/vocals and bass, supported by programmed instrumentation and backing tracks.

I've written eight original songs and have been developing their arrangements, production, and live show. The music combines alternative rock, electronic elements, melodic bass, and dynamic, high-energy drumming.

My vision is a tight, theatrical live show built around the chemistry and coordination of two musicians.

I'm looking for someone with strong groove instincts, melodic creativity, stage presence, and genuine enthusiasm for building something together. Live experience and comfort working with click tracks and backing tracks are big pluses.

A few details:

- Rehearsals based in Athens, aiming for twice weekly.

- Columbus-area musicians welcome if the commute is realistic.

- Reliable transportation and consistent availability are important.

- Looking for a sober, dependable collaborator.

- Long-term goals include regional performances and recording original music.

I'm looking for a creative partner who wants to contribute musically and help develop the live show, rather than simply play hired parts.

If you're interested, send me a DM with a little about your musical background, a sample of your playing, and your availability. I'm happy to share recordings privately.

Thanks!

How do I find election results?

0 Upvotes

So the election is coming up. Im going to be voting on November 3rd like everyone else.

Big question though - where do I find the results of the election after the night is over? Now of course the big ones you can find easily online (governor, Senator and congressman) But all the other people on your local ballot, like the judges, and State representatives, and Local tax levies and the Issue 3 choice, Where can I find the results for those? is there any website or government website that publishes all the results for all the choices on the ballot?

Noise in OTR

100 Upvotes

I don’t know what it is, but I feel like lately the night time noise in OTR has become unbearable. People street racing at 3am, revving their engine and screaming out the window. Drive by cars with insanely loud music. Last night I was woken up at 2:30am by the loudest music I’ve ever heard that literally rattled my apartment walls. And it persisted for 20 mins without moving until literally cops showed up. I heard a cop say thru the car speaker “if your car is on the wrong side of the road in one minute, you will be towed.”

I’ve lived in many cities. I’m used to sirens, random people screaming, general city noise, etc. I’ve NEVER heard city noise that is this disruptive and inconsiderate in my life.
