Well, Burger King does have an advertising campaign that says "have it your way.", so I guess I see her point. In fact, maybe she should call the ACLU. Who wants a messed up Western Burger? She a brave little whistle-blower who is trying to make our fast-food world a better place.

P.S. It kind of sounded real to me. Scary.

Hearing those kind of tapes gets my blood boiling.... WOW I can't believe that the operator didn't hang up on her, I'm sure that there were probably more pressing emergencies to deal w/instead of the hamburger emergency.

They probably should have sent a cop out there ....but to cite her for calling 911 w/o an emergency.

How else do you expect her to get her kids to tae-kwon-do class?

What gets me is that she says her kids are hungry, but she's willing to wait in the drive thru until she gets satisfaction.

I agree with KCPSG that a deputy should have been sent to site this moron.

There is one little problem w/ this from an urban myth perspective: This was not a 911 call.

There is no question that she is talking to a Police officer, but she must have called on a non-emergency number. 911 operators answer with, "911 emergency, what is the emergency that you are reporting?", and then transfer you to either the FD/paramedics or appropriate LE agency for your location. This idiot lady would have never gotten past the 911 operator to the PD or Sheriff's station. Unfortunately, one of the 911 operator's main jobs is to "filter" the real emergency calls from the countless bonehead requests everyday that plug up the system, this call would be in the "Hall of Shame" for most ridiculous call of the week. She would get a severe tongue lashing at best from a 911 operator in CA., and no service whatsoever.

Doesn't change the fact of what a moron she is, but it is not an emergency call. If you listen to the first words, the (authority person) answers w/ "desk sargaent", or something.

the 911 dispatcher that took the call was on a local radio show a week or two back. Real call. And it is a soccer mom from Orange County....ie A CONSERVATIVE.

Wait, aren't "soccer moms" liberal?

Besides, how many conservative in Kali, anyway?

no way, nostatic. A Conservative would have exercised better business practices and moved on to an establishment that catered to her needs.

This woman was definitely a Liberal, expecting the government agency to take care of her issues for her.

Besides, if it were a Conservative, it would have been the illegal-alien nanny picking the kids up from tae-kwon-do class.

LOL, that Burger King is a mile down the road from my house. Knowing what I know about the moms in SUVs around here, I am not the least bit surprised that something like this can happen.

A house in my neighborhood burned to the ground the other day even though the fire station is only 2 miles away. The people I talked to said 911 wasn't answering - I wonder if they were talking to some F*cktard like this?

Gonna have to call BS again, Todd!

A good, card-carryin' Conservative would be a member of the NRA and have no need for "pajama-fighting"
