Alright, I’ve had hunger cravings that felt pretty damn urgent. I’ve walked, shivering in the snow at 2am to satisfy a desire for greasy good pizza. I’ve practically pushed elderly women out of my way as I darted to the deli to heal a hankering for a chocolate chip cookie when I hit my 3pm slump. I once cried because the delivery guy accidentally brought me chicken pad thai when I had specifically ordered beef (and I really, really, wanted beef). But never have my food feelings been so bad I needed to call the cops. Latreasa L. Goodman on the other hand… she loves her misshaped chunks of chicken mystery meat so much that shecalled 911 three times to complain when her local McDonald’s was out of chicken nuggets! Apparently Goodman paid for a 10-piece McNuggets but was then told the restaurant had run out. When she was allegedly refused a refund she called 911 over this “emergency”. Cops charged Goodman with misusing 911 to which Goodman replied “this is an emergency, my McNuggets are an emergency.” Here’s the audio from the 911 call:

This woman is an idiot! Granted, she had legitimate reason to complain that she paid for something & didn’t get it. That part I understand; but to waste 911 responders’ time & resources over her McNugget dilemma, that is totally ridiculous. With crime rates soaring in this country, the officers’ time was more well spent on street patrol than with this moron.
