If you honk your horn for any reason in a drive thru, you become the a-hole.

Well yeah, he's an a-hole no matter what. I don't care though I was just wondering how it works for future reference.

Whoever order first goes first. Was your order screwed up when you got to the window ?

ETA: I'm confused now. The OP finished ordering after Car 2? Yea, OP fricked up.
I finished ordering first. There was room for me to pull up but not enough room to clear the inside lane.

When he finished he honked because I was not letting him enter in front of me when the car in front of me pulled up.

If you finished ordering first you're good.

Other guy, get mad again or whatever.

You obviously were correct. Not even up for debate.

Give him a big smile and thumbs up.

First person to finish ordering is the person that moves up.

I bet you are talking about mcd's. I'm surprised there has not been a shooting over this yet. First done with their order goes first. No alternating. The mouth breathers in my area can not wrap their mind around this idea either.

Almost exactly what I did. He honked and put his arms up like what are you doing and I just laughed at him because I know that would make him more mad even though I didn't know if I was in the wrong or not.

I was always under the impression both sides can't order at the same time. As in the person taking the orders switches sides as the car at window 2 leaves, which forces whatever car that ordered first to pull up

There is a reason for the two lines, to satisfy people's need to start the ordering process and so people aren't held up by people who take longer to order. You were in the right, if you did indeed order first. However if you finished roughly the same time and you just accelerated faster to get a head of him, you are the dick.

The people at both windows take orders.

I get that, but each could only be able to alternate taking orders as the car pulls off

This is why they need green and red signals for more than one drive thru lines.

At Chick-Fil-A they tell you whether to pull up or wait for the other car.

McDonalds doesn't do that.

Chik Fil A in BR is smart enough to tell you if you need to be behind a certain car.
