Drunk dad makes 'vroom vroom' noises in desperate bid to get served at McDonalds drive-thru

This is the hilarious moment a drunk dad desperate for a late-night bite tried to get served at a drive-thru-only McDonald's - by making 'vroom vroom' noises and claiming he 'identifies as a truck'. Kevin OHara refused to give in when he realised the food giant's Leven, Fife, store was closed for walk-ins after he'd enjoyed a night on the town.

Footage shows the slurring 32-year-old trying to order a Big Mac through the drive-thru speaker before a worker asked him to leave as he 'has to be in a car' to be served. Determined Kevin lets out revving sounds and claims he's in a 'pretend' car, but an unamused staff member says they 'don't accept pretend cars'.

Drunken Kevin then changes tactics and hilariously reveals he 'identifies as a truck' but the surprisingly calm worker replies 'identify as whatever you want, but you're not in a vehicle'. The joiner's repeated ramblings are ignored for the rest of the video and he was left hungry for the 90-minute stumble home.

The dad-of-one shared the footage in a friends' group chat before heading to bed around 3am. The clip has since gone viral with more than 300,000 views on TikTok - and Kevin says he doesn't regret his tequila-fuelled antics at all.

The fast-food fan finds his video hilarious and 'doesn't blame' the worker for rejecting him, but he does think he deserved 'some food and an Oscar' for his 'theatrical efforts'. Kevin, from Leven, Fife, said: "When I was making the car noises I was just thinking 'how can I convince this guy to give me a Big Mac?'. I was hungry. I had to convince him I was a truck.

"In this day and age with people saying they're identifying as something they may or may not be, I thought 'if I can tell this guy I'm a truck then maybe he'll serve me'. I was out watching the Tyson Fury fight, then we went to a nightclub and a client of mine kept buying me tequilas and I don't normally drink that.

"Sometimes it's hard to get between a drunken person and food on the way home. I just gave their door a rattle, realised it was closed, then thought 'how can I get served?'. It didn't go to plan. I don't blame [the member of staff], but if you'd have asked me on the night I was blaming him.

"He was only doing his job, but it was quiet and there was nobody there so he would have spent less time giving me a burger than he spent arguing about it. There's a big thing in my industry about health and safety being 'as far as reasonably practical', and there was nobody there so I didn't see a reason why he couldn't serve me.

"I think he should have just come out and give me the food for my theatrical effort. He should have come out with a Big Mac and an Oscar. I'm surprised he didn't bring out Will Smith to give me a slap. I didn't expect the video to go on social media, but I'm glad it's made people smile. People have messaged to say they'd been cheered up by it after a bad day."

Kevin admits wife Lisa OHara, 38, was left embarrassed by the footage, which was shot on the night of her birthday party.

His pal's TikTok post has been liked more than 25,000 times and users were left in stitches at the bold attempt to be served - with some agreeing McDonald's should have just served him.
