A confrontation between an enraged female McDonald’s customer and a male driver has gone viral on social media after she tried to goad him into fighting her.
The driver, who has been identified as Donta Jones, talked to Fox 13 and said he believes the woman was angry because of how slow he parked his car. He captured the entire incident on video.
Jones’ lunch break took a turn when another driver angrily honked and yelled at him while he was parking at a McDonald’s.
The woman, who has not been identified, is seen hurling curse words, threats, and screaming at the man. He said the fuming woman then whizzed through the drive-thru and then parked her car and darted into the store.
‘Come on, come on now. I’m so ready to Fight Club this s–t!,’ the woman said unprovoked. ‘Get a degree, go to school, go to school. You’re eating McDonald’s.’
Jones’ lunch break took a turn when another driver angrily honked and yelled at him while he was parking at a McDonald’s. The woman (pictured), who has not been identified, is seen hurling curse words, threats, and screaming at the man.
‘She’s in there flailing her arms around. I’m like, ‘oh god,’ Jones said. ‘She comes out and tries to slam the door a couple times.’
Jones said he believes the outraged woman took the opportunity to approach him because she spotted him rolling down his window.
He said he started recording thirty minutes into the altercation out of fear for his own safety.
‘She was like sitting on my hood, she wouldn’t let me leave at first,’ said Jones. ‘All I could think about is if the cops come, she’s this crazy and she’s going to flip the story and I don’t want to go to jail over this random person.
But instances like these are not as uncommon as one might think, according to local attorney James Prescott, who specializes in assaults and altercations. He told Fox 13 he has seen more and more interactions like the one between him and Jones.
‘I just settled a case where a guy was almost strangled to death over a parking space,’ said Prescott. ‘My impression is people’s patience has gone down a little bit since the pandemic. We all had a couple of years where we weren’t interacting with strangers as much as we used to.’

Prescott stressed the importance of using your phone to record these instances so it is documented. He noted that there are repercussions for those who use abuse tactics to incite others, especially in Washington State.
‘We learn in Kindergarten that we’re not allowed to use our fist in response to words, we also learn not to use words that will make people hit us,’ said Prescott.
It is unknown whether the woman was under the influence during this altercation.
No arrests have been made at this time.
