A Connecticut man knows how he likes his sandwich, and so does the 911 dispatcher who took his call on Wednesday afternoon complaining about how it was made.

“I specifically asked for little turkey, and little ham, a lot of cheese and a lot of mayonnaise and they are giving me a hard time. I wonder if you can stop by and just … ,” he said when he called 911 from Grateful Deli in East Hartford on Wednesday afternoon.

You can listen to the full call here.

But, here are the highlights:

“You’re calling 911 because you don’t like way that they’re making your sandwich?” the dispatcher asks.

“Exactly,” he said.

With that settled, the dispatcher offers some advice:

“So, then, don’t buy it,” she said.

But McLennon, who seems to be a regular at the deli, tells her he’s not just calling about this sandwich. He also fears that they won’t make his sandwich to his specific request in the future.

“I mean, I just want to solve this the right way,” he said. “Her sister made it, but she left. They are playing games with me, so I was just wondering if you could come by,” he said. “I just want it resolved and I want to be able to come back here and get the regular sandwich that I ask for.”

The call ends with more advice to the caller

“In the future, just don‘t buy the sandwich,” 911 tells him.

“I’ll look at it before I buy it,” he said.

Tila Azinheira, who owns the deli, said the man placed a phone order for 14 sandwiches and they made them the way he asked. Then, he did not want to pay for them.

Azinheira said the deli told the man they could not take the sandwiches back because they were special orders, then he used the deli's phone to call 911.

McLennon called the deli on Thursday to apologize and tell them that he would be coming back in the future for more sandwiches, the deli owner said.

No information was immediately available on the man’s age or his hometown. Police have not filed charges.

^ Surprised they didn't file them, he would've been on World's Dumbest Criminals for sure.

I bet this guy was old. Maybe he had alzheimers and thought he was living in the 50s when cops had their nose in all kinds of business.

311 for NON emergency calls... jeez.

Obviously you guys have not had a turkey-ham-cheese-mayonnaise sandwich before.. I'd turn straight for one of those.

What would a policeman do if they showed up?

They have no authority to make the deli make a sandwich for the man.

The deli seems to have a better claim agianst the caller.

As ridicuous as this is, wouldn't it be nice to live in a world where this was about as serious an offense as you'd come across?

I read something in a UK newspaper not long ago about fuckheads people who called 999 (UK emergency number) to ask stupid things.

One nutter called 999 to ask what time it was. Another idiot called 999 to report that she could not find her TV remote and could they send over a police officer to help her find it. They did send an officer over...to issue her with a warning.

Clowns.

Just found the paper I mentioned.

Other calls included a man who called 999 to report his wife for not making him a meal. A student who called to ask when the internet was invented, a man who wanted a lift home, and another man who called to ask what day of the week it was.

^^

Wow... just... wow.

And this foolishness happened not far from where I live. Sadly this type of thing happenes often in my community, we have a lot of elderly folks 'round here and they get buck wild when the want to!!! He's a regular at that store, he did call and apologise and is no longer banned from the store.

He would act as a mediator, listen to both sides and ultimately tell the deli to remake the sandwhich to the specifications set forth by the customer under the unwritten law that the customer is always right.

Then he'd walk the old man across the street.

I want to call 411 and find out what Mary J Blige is up to and what shade of lipstick she wore in that video that time.

There was a similar report a while back. My favourite example was someone phoning to ask how to spell 'necessary'.

"It's the definition you need, son", I'd have said.

Just so I get it. Weren't not suppose to call 911 for that!??

One time someone call 911 because they didn't get the prostitute they wanted.

Nah it was you.

I'm going to call the police next time the damn Pizza Hut doesn't make the pizza look like the picture in the advertisement with so much cheese that it stretches when you pick up a slice. You get that damn pizza home and there's bubbles in the damn crust from not even having enough cheese to cover the dough. That's false advertisement.
