Guy Calls 911 to Complain About Sandwich Order

(AP) – Yet another case of someone calling 911 to complain about food: This time, a Connecticut man called the emergency number after a deli fouled up his sandwich order. The man can be heard on a recording of Wednesday's call complaining that he "specifically asked for little turkey and little ham, a lot of cheese, and a lot of mayonnaise," and the Grateful Deli in East Hartford got it wrong. The dispatcher asked the man to verify that he was calling 911 because he didn't like the way they made his sandwich. The man replied, "Exactly." The dispatcher then advised him not to buy it.

The deli owner told local media that the man had placed an order for 14 sandwiches and the deli made them to his specifications, and adds that the man called yesterday to apologize. No charges have been filed.

I don't get it. You do not have the right to expect everything you ask for to be perfect. You are a human being ordering from human beings. It happens. Mistakes happen. When I see people get all pissed over their orders being wrong I just think "That's part of the game, want it perfect make it the fuck yourself"

A couple of weeks ago in my town, a guy drove his truck through the window of a Taco Bell because they forgot his taco.  People are way too impatient and demanding...... Seriously, these are not food emergencies!
