from WSJ link to dslreports ^

[avg_freeper]

I've been a little out of the loop over the past few months so this might of already made the rounds here.

But for those of you that need a bit of humor today here's the transcript. (you can find the audio at the above source link)

Dispatcher: Sheriff's department, how can I help you?

Woman: Yeah, I'm over here . . . I'm over here at Burger King right here in San Clemente.^*

Dispatcher: Uh-huh.

Woman: Um, no, not San Clemente; I'm sorry, I live in San Clemente. I'm in Laguna Niguel, I think, that's where I'm at.

Dispatcher: Uh-huh.

Woman: I'm at a drive-through right now.

Dispatcher: Uh-huh.

Woman: I went . . . I ordered my food three times. They're mopping the floor inside, and I understand they're busy . . . they're not even busy, okay, I've been the only car here. I asked them four different times to make me a Western Barbeque Burger. Okay, they keep giving me a hamburger with lettuce, tomato, and cheese, onions, and I said, "I'm not leaving . . ."

Dispatcher: Uh-huh.

Woman: I want a Western Burger because I just got my kids from Tae Kwon Do, they're hungry, I'm on my way home, and I live in San Clemente.

Dispatcher: Uh-huh.

Woman: Okay . . . she said, she gave me another hamburger; it's wrong. I said four times, I said, "I want it to go. Can you go out and park in front?" I said, "No, I want my hamburger right." So then the . . . the lady came to the manager. She . . . well whoever she is, she came up and she said, um, she said, um, "Do you want your money back?" And I said, "No, I want my hamburger. My kids are hungry and I have to jump on that toll freeway." I said, "I am not leaving this spot," and I said, "I will call the police," because I want my Western Burger done right! Now is that so hard?

Dispatcher: Okay, what exactly is it you want us to do for you?

Woman: I . . . send an officer down here. I . . . I want them to make me . . .

Dispatcher: Ma'am, we're not gonna go down there and enforce your Western Bacon Cheeseburger.

Woman: What am I supposed to do?

Dispatcher: This is . . . this is between you and the manager. We're not gonna go and enforce how to make a hamburger; that's not a criminal issue. There's . . . there's nothing criminal there.

Woman: So I just stand here . . . so I just sit here and [block]?

Dispatcher: You . . . you need to calmly and rationally speak to the manager and figure out what to do between you.

Woman: She did come up, and I said, "Can I please have my Western Burger?" She . . . she said, "I'm not dealing with it," and she walked away. Because they're mopping the floor, and it's also the fact that they don't want to . . . they don't want to go through there . . . and . . . and . . .

Dispatcher: Ma'am, then I suggest you get your money back and go somewhere else. This is . . . this is not a criminal issue. We can't go out there and make them make you a cheeseburger the way you want it.

Woman: Well . . . that is . . . that . . . you're supposed to be here to protect me.

Dispatcher: Well, what are we protecting you from, a wrong cheeseburger?

Woman: No . . .

Dispatcher: Is this like . . . is this a harmful cheeseburger or something? I don't understand what you want us to do.

Woman: Just come down here. I'm not . . . I'm not leaving.

Dispatcher: No ma'am, I'm not sending the deputies down there over a cheeseburger. You need to go in there and act like an adult and either get your money back or go home.

Woman: She is not acting like an adult herself! I'm sitting here in my car; I just want them to make my kids a . . . a Western Burger.

Dispatcher: Ma'am, this is what I suggest: I suggest you get your money back from the manager and you go on your way home.

Woman: Okay.

Dispatcher: Okay? Bye-bye.

Woman: No....

LOL!

The food at BK isn't THAT good, lady.

I'll never understand how anyone can eat fast "food?" IMO

[woofie]

What do they mean this is not a criminal matter?

[clyde asbury]

No..

This 'No' at the end is the funniest part of the call. After all that, she still isn't happy.

As for authenticity, another forum at DSL reports.com has comments from dispatchers about the call's length which indicate it probably is legitimate.

[expat_brit]

LOL I'd forgotten about that one.

He hung up on her! Insensitive bastard!

[texasflower]

I was shocked when I listened to that and realized it happened v very close to my house and the call must have come in to the EMS agency I used to work for.

Do you happen to know how old that call was? I worked there for 5 years and didn't hear anything about it.

[expat_brit]

Sorry no, however it's pretty old, it may be a hoax.
I'm not sure if this is the same call, as I can't play the audio file from snopes..

Thanks for that link. In that article it does mention EMS service that I worked for (Cypress Creek EMS) and I know (of) the dispatcher they mention.

I don't know him personally though.

That was so weird to hear those two streets Huffsmith Khorville and Caffey Rd named in the call.

Maybe I can find out if it was real or not.

[wisconsinconservative]

This one is hilarious too!

Jack-In-The-Box manager describing a crash he's just seen.

[wordsofearnest]

I need a bambulance!!

[RushCrush]

I'm going to call 9-11 the next time I see one of those new creepy Burger King commercials. That Burger King dude gives me nightmares!

This reminds me of the Cable lady

bump for later read and listen, this is hilarious.

[Prophet in the wilderness]

Must be, because Liberals have no common sense, or rational thinking capabilities.
This is liberalism gone amok.

[Prophet in the wilderness]

Yes..... I'll repeat after you.

UNBELIEVABLE !!!!!

Even if this is true, still, UNBELIEABLE !!

[Prophet in the wilderness]

Most likely this is a real occurrence.
Sounds like a O.I.W.S.E. ( Over inflated woman sense of entitlement ) woman to me.
What really should have happen in this case was ? the dispatcher should have sent some officers to her location, and gave that woman a fine for calling in a false 9/11 call, for jamming up the line for more serious 9/11 calls.
At least the dispatcher woman has some common sense and rational thinking.

[Prophet in the wilderness]

Feminism and liberalism gone amok.

[Prophet in the wilderness]

I guess she would have call the police if the hamburger didn't have " Designer " hamburger wrap on it.
