"9-1-1? I'm reporting a missing...."
 

....Orange Juice!" Guy calls 911 to complain about McDonald's leaving the OJ out of his McBreakfast: Aloha man calls 9-1-1 over botched fast-food order – OregonLive.com

I can hear it now:

"Yes, that's right, officer. I turned around, and my orange juice was just....gone! It was supposed to include an orange juice in my order, and it's... missing! Please find my orange juice! It's so tiny and cold!"

There may be some slack to cut the guy, since he's not a good English speaker, but calling 911? I dunno.

One thing's for certain: I don't see guys who call the police to ask for help about their missing oj being the kind of guys who in the 1840's struck out from St. Louis and survived crossing the Great Plains:

Hello! Hello! Police? I'd like to complain about vandalism and a theft....Yeah that's right....Well, first they vandalized my right lung. The little shits broke a 6" flint lance-head off in me. No telling how much that'll be to get fixed...The theft? Some others sneaked up while I was trying to patch my lung, and they just stole the hell outta my scalp! Broad daylight! Grab, slice, tug - goodbye hair, hello Baldy! Little thugs just laughed!...So what are you gonna do about it, huh?...You bet I want to make a complaint! I'll be right here at Mile 58 of The Oregon Trail, a little place called Bloody Springs...I don't care how long it takes - I'm not going anywhere. Just look for me under the big pile of stones with a broken lance shaft sticking in it....

Nah, not the Manifest Destiny type.

Haha, I was born in Aloha.

Re: "9-1-1? I'm reporting a missing...."
 

HAHAHAHAHA!!! :lol:

Hey OJ is a right!

Re: "9-1-1? I'm reporting a missing...."
 

Oh gosh. Only in America.

It's like that lady who called 911 because she couldn't get chicken nuggets. But this is worse...

Re: "9-1-1? I'm reporting a missing...."
 

Wait a minute there Mr. Ped. The OJ man is named "Raibin Raof Osman", pictured here: He is quoted as saying that part of the reason he called police was that he was upset that McDonald's employees "made fun of my brother for not speaking English well." Plus, when the law came and the deputies tried to explain that calling 911 for a missing OJ is not an appropriiate use of the emergency service, he copped an attitude and tried to tell them he had the right of free speech to use 911 for anything he wanted to.

Okay, let's review:
1) A Middle Eastern name
2) Middle Eastern appearance
3) Brother (perhaps Mr. Osman as well) doesn't speak English well
4) A complete ignorance of what to use 911 for
5) When being given a break by law enforcement, cops an attitude, says he'll use 911 for whatever he wishes, thereby turning a warning into a guaranteed arrest.

This guy does not get it about life in the US. Or if he dioes, is comtemptuous of "the American way". All evidence considered, Mr. Osman, also known as "The Defendant", is likely not a citizen of the US.



Hey, have I given you your beating yet? You're due to get one you know.

Guilty!

Re: "9-1-1? I'm reporting a missing...."
 

I dunno, if someone stole something from me I'd probably call the police too. Especially if the motive of the crime was hatred of foreigners or racism as it was the case here.

Of course you don't have to use the emergency line in such a case.

Re: "9-1-1? I'm reporting a missing...."
 

Has nothing to do with it. He's in America.

So? He shouldn't get laughed at, but calling 911 over verbal abuse isn't really effective use of the country's emergency services.

Ah. yes. The American way. He obviously knows enough about America to know that they have human rights. And how is calling 911 because of theft contemptuous of America?

Re: "9-1-1? I'm reporting a missing...."
 

You miss my point: The name and the fact of what he claims is his brother's difficulty with English points toward non-citizenship. Of course it's not conclusive, but it's the only evidence at all, and it points to him not being American. The thing about yelling at the brother yadda yadda, what the hell? We don't even know if it happened. It has nothing to do with anything anyway, other than it is the basis for him saying his brother didn't speak English well.

Even if there can be found those idiot Americans who call 911 because their lives are too difficult or their coffee is cold, NO American (at least no American not dying to get back into jail to visit all his friends) gives crap to a cop when he's screwed up, especially when the cop is trying to cut him some slack for screwing up. Sorry, never happen.

And what is contemptuous (and also shows an appalling ignorance of American customs, mores and law) is his hectoring the cops about what his rights are and how he by God will call 911 any time he feels like it.

I think most Americans over 16 know that the way this guy acted is the way you act when you want to get thrown under the jail.

Re: "9-1-1? I'm reporting a missing...."
 

LOL Jum that just made my day.

And yes I agree this behavior suggests that he's new to the country and doesn't fully realize what calling 911 completely entails... unless it was a prank there aren't too many people in the US who know what 911 is for that would actually do this.

I'll write the same as I did with that woman who called 911 when she didn't get her nuggets and no refund either.

First of all the customer should be given the order (s)he orderd. If the order can't be processed then te customer must be informed before payment takes place. If the customer already paid (s)he should be given the choice of a refund or alternative product (without extra costs). Incase the product was given to the customer but incomplete the order should be corrected accordingly. If not: offer alternatives or a refund.

Anyway: if the clerk/waiter/... refuses to give a refund or other fair alternative the manager should talk with the customer and try to offer him or her a fair solution. If the manager refuses (a refund) then it's theft and the customer can call the police.

However, you do not call 911 except for emergencies. Theft is not an emerency unless it's something like a robbery (ea theft by force) etc. Incase you find out theft and the robber is either long gone or going nowhere (the manager won't run away with your money or threaten to harm you.. I'd hope...) you call the police on their local line. Depending on were you live they may have a special phonenumber that redirects your call to the nearest policestation (like overhere in the Netherlands) or you just look up the number for the local police station yourself. Explain the situation, they will (probably) come over and resolve the situation.

911 / 112 / 999 / enter-emergency-number-here / is for emergencies only! Duh.

As far as the guy is concerned:
If he had take a seat and his drink was taken from him it would be his problem (watch your belongings). If it happend at the counter then it would most likely be fair to give a "new" drink. as it should be clear to the clerk/waiter/.. that he's not being scammed. Said person probably saw with their own eyes that somebody else took it... the chanche of both the customer and employee not watching the service that just switched hands (owners) moments ago is rather slim I'd think...

If I were ordering something at a counter, been given my order and I turn around for some reason or need to bend over (to reach for a bag on the ground for example) and turn my face back to the counter/employee a moment later to notice something went missing I wouldn't be amused and expect the employee to give me what I paid for. On refusal I'd ask for a superior (manager) and if I'm getting nowhere at all I'd first threaten to call the police for theft and then I'd probably do so. But I haven't been in such a situation so that's just speculation I guess. And I doubt most people will ever end up in a simular situation...

The guy is trying to live his american dream, is a true believer of the bill of rights and so on, he got my support.

Besides, any anglosaxon screwhead who makes fun of the not-english speakers despite the fact he, most than likely, only speaks english, and a bad english (and lives in a van with a blonde meth adict called with a hilarious double name) deserves a squad of swats fast roping through the ceiling of his fast-death chez restaurant
