Man calls 911 after Subway left sauce off sandwich

Dear Readers,

I suppose we must now list Stupidity as one of the signs that we are in the Kali Yuga of the Kali Yuga! 

After all, as Schiller writes:

"Against Stupidity, the Gods themselves contend in vain."

Subway Snafu is Among Many Odd Calls to 911

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) - Jacksonville police say Reginald Peterson needs to learn that 911 is not the appropriate place to complain that Subway left the sauce off a spicy Italian sandwich.

Police said the 42-year-old man dialed 911 twice last week so he could have his sub made correctly. The second call was to complain that officers weren't arriving fast enough.

Subway workers told police Peterson became belligerent and yelled when they were fixing his order. They locked him out of the store after he left to call police.

When officers arrived, they tried to calm Peterson and explain the proper use of 911. Those efforts failed, and he was arrested on a charge of making false 911 calls.

Peterson did not have a listed phone number.
