OMG I love this story SO MUCH.
So apparently, some dude named Reginald in Jacksonville, Florida went to Subway for a sandwich. And he ordered the spicy Italian sandwich. And to his HORROR, the Subway people left the sauce off.
Let’s stop right there. What might you do if you ordered a sandwich at Subway and it wasn’t prepared to your liking? First of all, I don’t even understand how it’s possible given that Subway is set up such that you WATCH THEM MAKE YOUR SANDWICH right before your very eyes. But in the event that they left off sauce, which I happened to want, I would probably say something like, “Excuse me, kind Subway person, but could you please add a little sauce to this sandwich” or something to that effect.
But that’s not what you do if you’re Reginald from Jacksonville. If you’re Reginald from Jacksonville, you have a complete meltdown at the Subway people, such that they become afraid enough of you that they throw you out and lock the doors. And THEN, you call 911. Not just once, but twice even. First, so you can alert the emergency dispatchers that Subway has not made your sandwich correctly, and second, to YELL AT THEM for not sending help quickly enough.
And, if you’re Reginald from Jacksonville, you also refuse to calm down when the police arrive, such that they end up having to ARREST YOU.
It would be funny if it weren’t true.
Who am I kidding. This sh*t is HILARIOUS. I <heart> Reginald from Jacksonville.
The fact that they took the turkey footlong off the $5 menu is criminal enough…
I’m with Reginald. I expect a little more from someone who is referred to as a “sandwich artist”.
Wow - I hope there is never an actual vote for Best 911 Call. I’d go insane trying to choose between this guy, or that cop who stole the pot and then called 911 to report “I think we’re dead…time is moving really slowly.”
Some subways have drive-thrus. And we all know that a drive thru will never get your order correct. And we use them for the convenience, right, or the times I am driving in my pjs. (Don’t ask) By the time we realize that the order is wrong, it is inconvenient to return and we are pissed. But calling 911? What a buffoon!
They had a recording of another 911 call on the local radio here this morning of a woman who called from Burger King because they didn’t get her order right. Then, they took phone calls from people about their “craziest 911 stories”. There were many doozies, including the elderly woman who kept calling from the nursing home when the orderlies couldn’t get to her to take her to the bathroom fast enough! The director finally talked to her children and said they would take her phone away if this didn’t stop.
