I Called 911 Because my Orange Juice was Missing and You Fine Me $300? – ALOHA  OREGON -  If you’re like every other schmuck in America who eeks out a living you’ve probably been screwed at the local fast food drive through on many occasions.  Yes, you bust your ass all day long earning a few bucks but no, they can’t get the goddamn order right when it comes time to spend that hard-earned cash, so what are you going to do? When you go to Taco Bell and get goddamn tomatoes on the soft taco supreme after saying no goddamn tomatoes do you run out of the car and shove it back in the drive thru guy’s face?  Yes, of course.  If you don’t get the Double Whopper with Cheese your way every time at Burger King do you hunt down the Burger King and kick his freaking weird ass costume and all?  You certainly do .  But do you call emergency services when McDonald’s screws up your breakfast?  Hell no, but this idiot did.

 A 20-year-old Oregon man, yes, a 20 year old man who called 911 to get his fast-food order straightened out has been ordered to pay a $300 fine.  According to court documents the man, whose name has been withheld to prevent public ridicule, called 911 to report that a McDonald’s clerk stole his orange juice  from a drive-through order and stood there drinking it while the complaint was lodged.   The same employee later called 911 to report that the man and his drunk buddies were blocking the drive thru lane,  squeezing ketchup packets on the restaurant windows and shaking down employees while the were sweeping the parking lot.  (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091105/ap_on_fe_st/us_odd911_juice_box)

Once the cops arrived on the scene they tried telling the man that they don’t have time to drive all over town for a stolen orange juice so they gave $2 and told him to buy another one. They said he “didn’t want their goddamn money and insisted he had the legal right to call police.”   After refusing to cooperate the man was tasered twice and stuffed in the back of the cruiser before landing in the county lock-up.  In court the next day pleaded guilty to the improper use of 911, resisting arrest,  and was ordered to pay the fine.  He also had to stand out in the front of the restaurant wearing a Ronald McDonald costume and holding a sign that said”I’m a habitual 911 caller who had to be tasered by two cops for being an asshole at the drive thru and this McDonald’s.”

I Took my Driver’s License 950 Times and finally Passed – SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA - Were you one of many folks in the world who failed their driver’s test 6 or 8 times?  You gave everybody in the driver’s ed car a whiplash everyday after school.  You hit every car in the parking lot the first time you tried to parallel park.  And in some cases you got behind the wheel and just plain sucked when you tried to drive.  But, after some study and practice you passed, right?  Well, this old broad didn’t, at least at first.  A South Korean woman who failed the driver’s exam 949  times finally got a D.

Cha Sa-soon, 68, Seoul South Korea, has been trying since 2005 to pass the written portion of the test to get a license, but she hasn’t come close to the 60 percent required to be licensed until last week.  “I’ve tried to pass that test many, many times, but I could not.  I looked at every book, ever picture and drove 10os of yak trucks to practice,” Cha said in North Jeolla province.  “It’s already been four years so now I only have to pass the driving part so that I can drove my own vegetable cart during the day and yak truck at night to make a few extra dollars.” (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091106/ap_on_fe_st/as_odd_skorea_aspiring_driver_6)

South Korean driver’s courses permit applicants to walk away with a license in a few days if they don’t wreck the practice car.  Cha has not been fortunate enough to take such a class, but she has driven her uncle’s fried rice cart for many years, after having spent more than four years of failing and $6,800 on the applications for the written part.  Wow.  She spent $7000 on the tests but didn’t have a few quid for an actual driving class where they put you in a car and teach you how to drive it?  That’s like paying $6800 bucks for a bunch of hookers on the internet, only UPS keeps delaying the shipment over and over again. Oh well. At least she passed the written part.  Now all she has to do is learn how to parallel park that yak truck for a real license.

Hello 911.  Come Get Me. I’m Driving Drunk -  The world is a crazy place nowadays and it’s pretty evident that some people have had it with the current state of affairs.  You got wackos roaming the streets with machetes and serial killers burying bodies in their backyards.  Even though you don’t really want to get involved for fear of vengeance from a perp, sometimes you just have to take a stand and call the authorities.  If you have a peeping tom lurking around the neighborhood you call the local yocals.  If there is a shady dealer selling dope in the alley you call in the County Mounties and their drug sniffing dogs.  But, if you’re behind the wheel with a killer buzz do you call emergency services for a ride? You’re damn right you dont, but this drunk broad did.

Wisconsin deputies responded to a drunk driving report last Saturday and after investigating the call slapped a misdemeanor drunken driving charge on a woman with a blood-alcohol level double the legal limit to drive.   The odd thing is that the woman was behind the wheel of her car when she called 911 to report herself for driving drunk.   Yes, somebody was actually stupid enough to report themself for driving drunk.  The call came into the 911 dispatcher like this: “I don’t want to smash my car or up blind side anybody or anything. I’m drunk and I have no business being behind the wheel of this goddamn car.” (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091103/ap_on_fe_st/us_odd_drunk_driver911_5)

During the call 911 the brain surgeon said she wanted to report a driver who was driving like a maniac and swerving all over the road.  When the dispatcher asked if she could see the car of she was behind the driver she said, “Sort of.  I am the one who’s blasted and driving all over the road.”  She then followed the dispatcher’s advice to pull over.  While she waited for the cops to come bust her she continued to tell the dispatcher that she had been “drinking all night long and smoked some weird guy’s pot, then she stole his money and his stash when he went to the restroom.”  The woman is facing charges for DWI, possession of pot and for the sheer stupidity of calling the cops on herself for drunk driving.  Why drink and drive when you can smoke and fly, on somebody else’s weed?
