I wish I was exaggerating in the subject line... but I'm not.

BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. -- A man in South Florida faces charges after he called 911 to complain that a fast-food restaurant ran out of his favorite drink.

Boynton Beach police said 66-year-old Jean Fortune was at a Burger King Friday, when a cashier told him they didn't have any lemonade.

Yes, folks... it's really that pathetic.  The guy is being charged for abusing 911 communications, and I hope they throw the book at him.  :

The transcript of the 911 call is available at the news article link.

Pretty common sadly. I had one on Monday for a guy who missed his doctor's appointment.

That's why Winnipeg, as have other cities, implemented a 311 line....the idiots were swamping the 911 line.

I responded to a call a few months ago for a lady who "had no bread"... We arrived to find a house full of food. She just wanted some attention, and someone to make her some lunch. (which I did..) We then got called back an hour later saying she was in pain. So this time we took her to the hospital and of course they sent her right back home. Later on the night shift got called back for some other reason.. She was admitted to the psyche ward after that.
