I’m not sure which is worse, the idiot making or the the idiot taking the call?
I had to stop the playback, the stupidity was giving me a headache. Reminds me of one I saw on the news about a woman who call 911 to find out how to cook a turkey because it was Thanksgiving day. Stupid is as stupid does.
As a former police/fire dispatcher this happens all the time.
And these folks reproduce like rabbits… 😛
#1, why was the 9-1-1 call taker any idiot. I thought she exhibited enormous control in not telling that whinny bitch what she really thought.
They should have tasered her or at least caught flies between her hamburger patties.
#5. BECAUSE she listened to the moran and tied up an emergency line.
Damn… aren’t their laws against tying up a 911 line and operator with non-emergency stuff? Can’t they prosecute this dumb woman?
She is right that the fast food service is crap. You might as well never order anything special. If you don’t want pickles or mayo. You might as well do it yourself. I was actually sitting in a McDonalds with my family and I looked at the floor at it was not really clean. But their were five young people standing around doing nothing but talking.But, the thing is I rarely see a adult of any kind who may resemble a supervisor.
#9 You missed the point by such an incredible margin, that your 911 call would be long distance.
The 911 operator was completely wrong not to send an officer to the scene to protect public safety and order. The call plainly shows an idiot woman who is a danger to herself, her children and the public and SHE’S DRIVING AROUND IN PUBLIC!!!!!!!
Police should have revoked her drivers license, impounded the car, put the kids in protective services, bitch slapped the woman, and filed for overtime.
TO SERVE AND PROTECT.
Ha Ha!
She said in Laguna Nigel. The residents there line up by the Amtrak train tracks every year and moon the passing trains.

#11 – bobbo – that was so far from your usual thoughtful commentary that I have to ask: Who are you, really, and what have you done with bobbo?
#13–BertDawg==gee, thanks. Just the same thoughtful (?) process that took a wrong turn too far?
Meant to be humorous, but that often does not come across in writing without a few smiley faces that I think too often are heavy handed==but still maybe necessary.
Still, even when tongue is in cheek, I try to remain somewhat true to what I actually think. In this case, doesn’t the woman in fact show something is wrong with her?????
So, should she be ignored and left to suffer in her self evident self absorbed stupidity, or would some kind of intervention be appropriate====and wouldn’t we all be better off if we got the intervention we all need when we needed it?
And thanks for your own intervention on my behalf! I prefer a nasty confrontation to a kind word, but both are appreciated.
thanks dog!
I think the deputies should be sent so that the manager can file a complaint about this person tying up his drive-thru and costing him business.
“Unbelievable!”
“You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.”
This is old. I remember being sent this about two years ago. It is incredibly stupid. Apparently the average IQ in America has now dipped below 86.
My mother is an assistant for a CPA. You should hear what people try to claim on their taxes. One 20-something sent in a handwritten account of how much she spent on haircare, clothing, and nail polish in 2007.
What a tragedy for the human race….
Actually this is an old call
Its amazing how serious the women is about it all and how the 911 emergency line person was so patient ?
Some parents have actually called 911 to get their kid to school as their car had run out of gas
The woman who made the call sounded like the typical ‘I get my way!’ suburban soccer mom who is likely jobless and whose overpaid husband makes all the money. She feels everyone else is beneath her, and that everyone must succumb to her every need. Wouldn’t a normal, sane person just drive away instead of calling 911?
I’m a manager for a different fast food company and I can say that this is typical of customer complaints and that it’s also poor customer service. Both parties are at fault, but it’s definitely retarded to be calling 911 about anything foodservice related. I once had a woman sit in my drive-thru for 15 minutes while she waited for me to send someone to the grocery store to pick up bananas for a product because we ran out. The customer directly behind her was very peeved and drove off without her food, but the rest were understanding of the banana bitch, as we’ve come to call her.
I think everybody is overlooking this woman’s main mistake. She went through the drive through. Never go through the drive through. You know why? Because they fuck you at the drive through! They fuck you at the drive through!
Their new steakhouse cheese burgers are very tasty.
Wow I guess she ran out of people to fight her battles for her, eh?
Not so much stupid as unreasonable and delusional.
@#19 – I think you nailed it 100%.
Fake or no? Might as well be some burger king viral marketing campaign.
