4. Getting teased by your "friends" is also a common experience.

5. Sometimes we actually love the Happy Meal toys... but we would never, ever admit it.

6. We have all tried, and failed, to make a burger that looks like they do in the ad.

7. Breaks are a great time to sit down and ask yourself why you work at McDonald's.

17. Friday night breakdowns during the dinner rush are definitely a thing.

18. Having grease everywhere, all the time, means slips and burns are commonplace events for the life of a McDonald's worker.

19. And finally, LITERALLY NO ONE SPITS IN BURGERS. THAT IS REVOLTING.
