    I’m telling you that if you’re not car-brained the phrase “I was just at McDonalds” means “I was inside the McDonalds fast food restaurant”.

    Is your reading comprehension enough to get that?

      I fully understand what you are saying. And had they said nothing about a car honking, I would have assumed they were inside the McDonald’s. Because I understand that when reading, you have to take the whole context of the message. I feel bad for you that you find it inconvenient or cumbersome that you have to “context switch” when reading. That just comes naturally to most people who can read at a basic level.

      Though I guess I don’t feel too bad as I presume you’re a fairly intelligent individual who made a pretty low effort attempt to bash “Americans” because that’s on trend right now. You should try a little harder than attacking a pretty normal English paragraph. Maybe next time you won’t come off as someone who struggles with grade 2 level reading.
