Woman Brings Her Horse Into McDonald's, Horse Poops

Twitter

People: This is why we can't have nice things (like fast food).

A woman in Whitefield, Greater Manchester tried to ride her horse through the drive-thru at McDonald's (the company that tried, and failed, to take Jennifer Aniston down via a Big Mac) and was promptly refused service. 

So instead, she brought her horse inside the restaurant, where it pooped on the floor.

"The staff refused to serve the women due to company policy," Whitefield police explained on their Facebook page. "The women then took the horse into the restaurant who ended up doing his business on the floor."

The statement continued, "The sight and smell of this caused obvious distress and upset to customers trying to eat, as well as staff members. Officers arrived at the location and woman was issued a Fixed Penalty notice for causing alarm & distress to other customers and staff." 

McDonald's also released a statement (via BBC), confirming the incident and saying, "The health and safety of our customers and staff is our top priority and for this reason we are unable to serve pedestrians, bicycle riders or customers on horseback through the drive-thru."

As a counterpoint, Gawker unearthed a video of a man (the "Long Rider") successfully riding a horse through the drive thru at 4:00 a.m. in Morriston, Wales. (But otherwise, it really is true. They will not serve you if you try to walk through. Not even if you're in a car formation.)

There is one amendment of adorableness to note: The woman on the horse who pooped in a Mickey D's was accompanied by a girl on a pony, who waited outside during the ordeal. So that's pretty cute. 

Well. What is there even to say anymore? All humanity is lost. Fast food has become complete anarchy.

Zara Phillips is taking good care of her baby on the way!

The mama-to-be has temporarily quit competitive horse racing and will not continue the sport until after she gives birth, Hello magazine reports.

Prince William's cousin announced she's expecting her first child with her rugby star hubby, Mike Tindall, less than two weeks ago.

"The fact is that all of Zara's horses have now qualified for the events she wishes to enter them for next year," a spokesperson for Queen Elizabeth II's granddaughter told Hello. "She has done so well already this season, she does not actually need to compete any more. Given that she is pregnant, she has decided to cancel the rest of her entries for the year."

The spokesperson added the royal is being "sensible" while progressing "happily and healthily" in her pregnancy. 

"As we said previously, she is feeling fine and is following all medical advice from her doctors," Zara's rep said, emphasizing that the blond beauty has not had any pregnancy complications.

The pregnant royal has apparently pulled a 180 since last week when Buckingham Palace announced the 32-year-old equestrian would continue to compete in horse races.

"It's business as usual at the moment," the palace initially confirmed. She reportedly competed in the Brightling International Horse Trials in Sussex after announcing her pregnancy.

Last summer, Phillips competed in the Olympics, where she and her Team GB equestrian team took home the silver medal.

Prince William and Kate Middleton were on hand to show their support at the event, which also saw Prince Harry, Princess Anne; Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall; Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie; Zara's brother, Peter Phillips and her hubby in attendance.

Zara and Mike tied the knot in Canongate Kirk, Scotland, in July 2011, just a few months after Will and Kate wed. Phillips and Tindall's child will be 16th in line to the throne.

While the equestrian takes a break from horse racing, the rest of the world is on royal baby watch, as Kate Middleton is currently due to give birth to her first child with Prince William and could go into labor at any moment.

Once the baby is born, the announcement will be made public with a notice placed on the gates of Buckingham Palace, which will also reveal the baby's gender.

Here's hoping for royal baby besties!
