McNutso: Didn't Get your chicken nuggets? Call 911 - really.



Chicken McNuggets mean more these days then you think. They are so valuable that McDonald's customer, Latreasa Goodman found it necessary to call 911 when  her local Florida McDonald's ran out of the much loved nuggets. How hungry was she? After going through the drive through and paying for nuggets, she as told they were out and was offered another menu item. That did not satisfy her. As a result she called 911, and stated "I called 911 because I couldn't get a refund and I wanted my McNuggets." When prompted for the address the woman gives all the information, expecting help but really it was a police officer attending the scene to report her. THANK GOD. 

Latreasa Goodman:


Since when does not getting your food at a drive through justify a call to 911? Unless you are choking on the Chicken Nugget go on with your life and complain to someone else. Just a few weeks ago another fast food customer, this time Burger King, called 911 because he did not receive a lemonade with his meal! Are you kidding!? 

It is unbelievable that some people do not understand the simplicity of life. 911 is an emergency line, and although emergency can be defined differently by everyone (in this case, she needed her nuggets) common sense can lead you into the right direction.  911 is not a universal customer service help line. In the words of the 911 dispatcher from the Burger King call  "Customer service is not a reason to call 911. 911 is if you are dying, do you understand that?"

So, do you?

There are more criminals around then you think...

I was insanely surprised to find out that 1 in every 31 adults are in prison, jail, on probation or parole (in 2007). Can you believe that? 
Personally, it seems absurd, in any single average classroom one person will end up on probation or worse. 

It's sad that I am not even making this up, it was the headline on CNN all day...
