@Sara chimed in, saying, "The person behind the speaker reminds me of Madea. Just so quick with responses lol I love it." "I would feel so awkward being the car behind that guy lol. And scared because he seems a bit unhinged like he'd freak out and back into me," remarked @Alison Gilbert.

I worked in customer service for 4 years, and let me tell you this made my night. I wish I had the guts to do this." "I've never worked in fast food, but I have worked at a call center, man I wish so many times I could just tell a customer how I really felt about them," @SoBlessedRese commented.
