ah Sweet Vindication

On the news last night I heard a little blurb that caused me to laugh sardonically!

A woman in Florida called the police department's 911 line THREE times. Apparently she felt she REALLY needed help.

Why did she call? Because McDonalds didn't give her the 10 piece McNuggets meal she ordered, and paid for. (they had run out of nuggets.)

She called 911 three times because the restaurant didn't have any nuggets to serve her.

Oh but more than that, they wouldn't refund her the money she paid for the meal.

Well that makes ALL the difference.

Many times in the past I have expounded to all who would listen (oh my poor poor wife) about the evils of today's society; And here we have a single episode which totally sums up what I have been saying for so long.

In fact this incident is a great summary for MANY of my prior points. so here we go one more time.

1. People in our society today refuse to take personal responsibility, and they want the Government to fix it all for them.

She didn't want to solve this problem herself, she wanted the government, through the local police force, to fix it.
She couldn't be bothered to seek redress for her grievances in the proper fashion, which brings me to point...

2. Failure of the public school system.

She is in her mid to late 20's (I think the news said she was 27) so she is past "school age".
But she is apparently incapable of functioning in real life. The School system let her down when it failed to give her the needed skills to negotiate this annoying thing called reality.

and finally 3. Failure of Society itself.

This young lady is the summation of the product of our society. Society is what dictates the way people are taught, Society establishes the patterns by which we must live and operate. But here is this young lady incapable of functioning in the world society created because society didn't care enough to make sure the education system was worthwhile.

By the way

Yes there was a little more to the story, and as the late great Paul Harvey would say, "And now for the rest of the story."

As I understand it, She was ticketed for abusing the emergency call in line. and McDonalds' corporate headquarters admitted that she was not treated properly and sent her a gift certificate.

I imagine they also had a little something for the manager of the store where this all happened.

And now...


Good Day!
