« More Bad News: Oil to "Super-Spike"... to $105/Barrel?! | Main | Sandy "Socks" Berger Agrees To Plead Guilty »

9-1-1 Call: "I've Asked Them Four Times to Give Me a Western Bacon Cheeseburger"

She calls 9-1-1 because they won't get her order right, and are "mopping up" and ignoring her.

She tells the 9-1-1 dispatcher: "You're supposed to be protecting me."

Is this a real call or a prank? I don't know. It actually sounds real.

It's funny either way.

Thanks to George Gaskell.

Again-- I'm sorry for all the light-hearted stuff. It just worked out that way.

Ergo, it most likely happened.

Someone should do a mash-up with the Pat O'Brien tape.

911 caller: "You're supposed to be protecting me."
O'Brien: "Let's have sex. Let's just ... have sex."

I'm surprised the dispatcher didn't send officers down to mace the caller.

The moment that the dispatcher unequivocally tells her 'no,' , the caller pauses for a second.

That pause tells me that this is not a prank. The woman was genuinely stunned that they weren't sending a SWAT team over immediately.

If it were a prank, her reaction would have been more over the top. The fact that she's serious makes it that much funnier.

The Corner reports that Sandy Berger is pleading guilty to a misdemeanor for mishandling classified sockuments.

I guess I should start spamming you again when I find these things so you can get a few days' more leg up on the pile... :)

If only a swat team really would come in all Starsky and Hutch style whenever the mouth breathers in the service industry are providing less than stellar customer service . . .

Definitely something I needed to hear and read. I have never laughed so hard in my life.

"Ma'am, we're not going to go down there and escort your Western bacon cheeseburger."

Ca-lassic. I only wish I was there to see her face.

'Bout 30 years ago, friend is a cop in Patterson, NJ (really bad-ass neighborhood!) Local barkeep hits the alarm every time anything happens. He gets warned about this, but doesn't stop. So one time (last time!) friend and partner get call, come in fast with one shotgun blast into the ceiling and the other shotgun pointed at barkeep! No more false alarms.
