‘I’m not sending officers down to enforce the making of your cheeseburger’

After a man in Jacksonville, Florida, called 911 because the Subway sandwich he ordered was not made to his liking, other similarly ridiculous calls to authorities have surfaced.

In this 2007 youtube audio posting, a woman calls local police because Burger King employees apparently didn’t make the proper hamburger for this woman and her kids. So the woman decides to stay put in the drive-thru until officers arrive.

The dispatcher at one point asks, “Is this a harmful cheeseburger?”
