The scene: A McDonald’s in Ottawa. A man orders a chicken sandwich. The woman behind the counter tells him they’re out. He calls her a bitch.
And then this happens:
[VIDEO REMOVED. Several people have come to me with information that made me question whether it was appropriate to post this video, and so I have removed the link. –DF]
It’s a little confusing, I’ll admit, but this is a film worth multiple viewings. Some of the highlights, in case you were thrown off by all the shouting.
- Dude trying repeatedly to “explain” to the woman behind the counter, who is calling the cops, that “bitch” is in fact a “proper English word.”
- Dude raising the important Men’s Rights issue of how come he can’t hit women but he can hit men?
- Dude raising the equally important Men’s Rights issue of how come women get all mad when men hold doors open for them?
- The unseen guy who tells angry dude “don’t even look over here for help” when angry dude turns to the crowd for support. “You’re on your own, buddy,” the unseen fellow adds.
- Dude positively AGHAST that someone would call the cops on him “cause I wanted proper service. And you’re not properly servicing me.”
- Dude realizing that “servicing” sounds vaguely salacious. and adding “maybe you should get on your knees.”
- The inevitable shout of “Worldstar” near the end.
I only wish we’d been able to see the guy get escorted off the premises by police, but, hey, they have to save something for the sequel, right?
That old Married To The Sea cartoon turned out to be pretty uncannily accurate, huh?
H/T — Thanks to r/againstmensrights for bringing this lovely video to my attention.
Personally I like to blame the Canadian MRAs on growing up on “Caillou”, that temper-tantrum throwing, whiny, little shit!
Someone should do a “Caillou – The New Adventures” where he has grown up to be a 30 something, neckbeardy fuck who complains about “Ghostbusters” and “Fury Road” online while living in his parents basement.
He still yells at his mom to make him a sammich, and she still does.
In the final episode he assaults a 12 year old girl from the neighbourhood for wearing a Ghostbusters costume on Halloween.
He is shot about 65 times by the girls cop dad, who is thanked by every character on the show.
Caillou’s parents breathe a final sigh of relief.

A man held a door open for me today.
I then held the inner door open for him.
This happens often in my office building, and I’d love to know what the MRA types would make of it.
Like some other commenters, I was very confused about how the cashier had gotten extra rice. I didn’t think McDonald’s in Canada sold rice, and I wasn’t sure why the cashier ordered some.
But hey, if you’re a woman and you ask for extra rice, I’m all in favor of you getting your extra rice, just to spite this guy.

First, they came for our chicken sandwiches and I did not speak out because I was not a chicken sandwich.
If this guy actually cared about men’s rights, he wouldn’t be upset that men can’t hit women. He would be upset that there is a legit social license for men to hit other men.
Men have a right to not be hit, just like everyone else. To parse that instead as “I can’t hit women!” is to betray that the ability to harm women, rather than men’s rights, is the true objective.
Nobody has a right to hit anyone else; by whining that he can’t hit women, this knucklehead is signaling a desire for a special right that nobody else has. It’s not women who don’t want to be hit who want special-snowflake extra rights. It’s men who want to do the hitting who want to be the special snowflakes.

Welcome! I hope now that you’ve deluded you continue posting. 🙂

Having worked in food service, I learned that people are extra pissy when they’re hungry. They get much more polite after they’ve eaten. I blame the way we eat infrequent large meals instead of frequent small meals.
He sounds like Garrett from the show Community
I love the fact that absolutely no one is putting up with his bullshit.
Wow MRA’s you seem to be having trouble with your inherently resonating message if everyone laughs at your viewpoints in real life. I guess you’ll need to call everyone normies, nu males and beta cucks like every other conspiracist
I don’t think he’s hit another man in his life.
You know something else I noticed about this guy? He only started saying ‘do something about it’ when there two people between him and the other guy. fucking coward.
Y’know, I love chicken sandwiches, too, but jeez, dude couldn’t go to another McDonald’s or anything like that? He had to throw a tantrum like that? Really?
…I’m writing this while watching an advertisement for a Chicken Caesar Melt from Subway. COINCIDENCE?!?!?!
ETA: I loved the “You’re on your own” guy in the vid.
MRA (Mayo Rights Activist)
But why is a woman’s right not to give a man a chicken sandwich so much more important than a man’s right to get a chicken sandwich from a woman? Why? WHY?
*arms flailing*
WHYYYYY?????
They didn’t have my sandwich. This is a gynocratic plot to make men starve to death. Welcome to Hillary’s America! #misandry
(I know, it happened in Canada, but that never stopped a men’s rights activist from saying something stupid)
FEMINAZIS STOLE MY JR.CHICKEN
What kind of an MRA is he anyway, ordering chicken?
Somewhere in a National Park a ranger named Ron Swanson silently weeps over 12 pounds of beef and a case of scotch.
I’m not at all certain I would want extra rice from McDonalds, to be entirely honest with you.
Look, I like my Filet’o’Fish as much as the next person, but if the local McDonalds is out of them, I generally suck it up and get a Big Mac. I can’t imagine the entitlement and self-centredness that leads to this kind of behaviour! The old Aesop’s fable moral “Treat others how you want to be treated” is definitely lost on this guy.
Okay fine, there was that ONE time that I lost my shit completely because the local Tim Horton’s didn’t have any peanut-butter cookies, but in my defence I was 9 months pregnant, crabby as sin, and I *really* wanted a cookie. My poor husband was the one who had to deal with the fall out from that, not the poor minimum wage Timmies worker!
Ron shakes his head in disgust, but he does not weep, because crying is only acceptable at funerals and the Grand Canyon.
That’s just fowl
There’s a funny story circulating in Germany about a lawsuit over a case of “Fischvergiftung” (food poisoning from eating fish) involving a “FischMäc” (Filet’o’Fish), that was dismissed when MickeyD’s proved that it contained no fish.
If you want some extra humor out of this video, turn YouTube captions/subtitles on.
…or if they are indeed accurate, he was very self-aware when he proclaimed: “I’m actually a talking problem”. 😉
@LinuxLea – One of the very best things about a Filet’o’Fish is the fact that everything, from the fish to the sauce to the bun is artificially made in a secret underground lab. My other guilty pleasure is a can of pink RockStar – Whenever my husband asks what it tastes like the only answer I can come up with is “It tastes of chemicals and pink.”
@Ely:
You shouldn’t make that joke until you tasted Irn Bru, official drink of Scotland.
It doesn’t even try to imitate any taste in existence. It is completely indiscribable. The best approximation is “chemical”.
Well that was quite entertaining! I do wish someone had thrown a bucket of water on that guy, but it was fun nevertheless. I did feel very sorry for the servers though – one always feels very threatened when a customer turns like that, even when it’s on a phone call (I work in a call centre). Also, dude needs to be aware that he’s on private property and not leaving when asked means he is trespassing. The police really would arrest him for that.
P.s. Kudos, too, to the male servers who didn’t try to usurp the woman’s authority and take over. On ya, guys!
