"We're not going to go enforce how to make a hamburger"

Nice.

[snotknocker]

that was some hilarious shit! I liked the part where the operator says " what are we going to do? protect you from a cheeseburger"

[ShadowRayden]

That was a prank call. Come on, it had to have been. Or else we have reached a new low in this great country of ours.

Snopes.com (http://www.snopes.com/crime/cops/burger.asp) hasn't said definitively whether it's real or not yet.

This post (http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,12922482) at Broadbandreports.com seems to be the source as far as I can tell.

thats the funniest thing in the whole world

[Noodle Pirate!]

The dispatch officer had all the opportunity in the world to slip in a "have it your way" police joke and totally dropped the ball. Im dissapointed.

[dcfox]

:rofl: That's the greatest call ever, if it's real.

[Jrunt20x]

LMAO, awesome!

She got close.

"We can't go out there and make them make you a cheeseburger the way you want it. "

A friend of my is a dispatcher and he tells me that he gets retarded calls all the time. Like people would call just cause they locked their keys in their car. I'm not surprised if this was real some ppl are just that retarded.

The town that I used to live in got those calls all the time. What's shocking is that they used to respond to those calls and help, the city decided to stop it since it was a waste of taxpayer's money. I remember my uncle(who's a cop) had to respond to a call where he had to scare away a cat from some trash cans cause some old women said it was making too much noise(WTF?).

God, why couldn't she just get her money back and get a hamburger somewhere else? These are the type of people that go into a game store, buy a PS2 game and expect it to play on their PSP.

I wouldn't doubt if this is real... I've worked directly with the public before (at a hotel) and the crap that they are willing to call the police over is unreal.

She should have just sent a letter to Burger King Customer Service (they have to have that posted somewhere in there).

I did that once at Taco Bell in Richmond, KY. I'm pretty patient, but there was a time where I had to ask three or four times for a correction on an order, and I get the "Park Around Front" bit, and then they left my order sitting on the counter for several minutes. I finally unleashed my girlfriend on them. Her caramel apple empanada was cold. She was pissed :D

There is no way this is real, the person at 911 would not keep the person on the phone this long. They have way more important things to do. Plus, pranking 911 is illegal.

[CTLesq]

This whole story is so old its sickening that anyone bothered to post it - or respond.

I'm pretty sure this was actually a real call. The womanactually sounds for real. Sounds like she's a high-on-her-horse soccer mom who has more kids than IQ points.

I'm pretty sure this was actually a real call.

It's pretty sad when people start thinking it's appropriate to dial into the 911 emergency line because they don't like the way their fast food was prepared. I wonder how many people died waiting for an ambulance because this woman wasn't satisfied with her cheeseburger.

But some of this supposedly ridiculous calls could make sense in some cases. I drive between boston and toronto, if I lock myself out of my car in the middle of nowhere (I often park at random out of the way restaurants and coffeehouses, only to find they're closed when I approach the door), I'm hundreds of miles away from anyone I know, and most likely in new york state. If I didn't have AAA I couldn't call them (and if I don't know where I am they can't do much), what am I going to do? 411 wouldn't help either if I didn't know where I was. 911 may be the only thing I could get help from, or stand out there all night (not exactly the safest thing, either due to crime or cold weather) waiting for the place to open. Again, that probably doesn't happen often, but for someone like me it is very possible.

I also saw something abut a non emergency number on one of these links, I didn't even know there was a non emergency equivalent, let alone think of looking it up, or have the resources to do that.
