Woman calls 911 over lack of shrimp in fried rice

A woman called 911 to report she didn't get as much shrimp as she wanted in her fried rice at a Texas restaurant.

Haltom City police on Tuesday released the taped emergency call, in which the customer is heard telling the dispatcher, "to get a police officer up here, what has to happen?"

The customer also says: "He didn't even put extra shrimp in there."

The upset customer had left the Fort Worth-area restaurant when an officer arrived Monday afternoon.

Restaurant workers say the woman had been denied a refund after leaving with her order, then returning to complain.

Cook June Lee says nothing was wrong with the meal, and that "some customers are happy. Some are not."

LOL.  What has to happen for you to get some cops up here to arrest the person who didn't give me enough shrimp!  This is classic.  I've been seeing a lot of silly 911 calls lately.

I think she watched the reports of the woman who called the police over her chicken nuggets.

Imagine if you were waiting for police for a legitimate reason and had to wait longer because of something so stupid.

The person should be given a huge find for abusing the 911 service .

Some people are completely nuts!

People like this need to be arrested for being selfish and petty and wasting hard working police officers time.

The woman sounds a little fishy to me!

Oh she needs to be punished for this! Community service comes to mind. Send her someplace where 911 calls are an emergency like a hospital or have her ride in an ambulance for a few REAL emergencies.

It must have been a slow day.

How can you expect someone to be arrested for not enough shrimp.
Devin Barber Apr 9, 2009, 6:58pm EDT
Knowing that people like this are roaming around free scares the hell out of me.

Strange, indeed. The woman sounds mentally ill.

What is up with all the news stories lately about people calling 911 for screw-ups in their fast food orders?!
Kimberly Ripley Apr 9, 2009, 9:55pm EDT
What on earth is WRONG with these people???Do they have no life whatsoever???

Totally inexcusable.

I hope the cops used their tazers on the offending chef.
