      $5 Dollar... $5 Dollar fooot looooongs...
      • TheMidnight, on 08/04/2008, -0/+10Why the hell would you need both the dollar sign and the word dollar? What the ***** is wrong with you people? The English language is not a mistress to be trifled with!
    • p3ngwin, on 08/04/2008, -10/+4and this is why we need punishments for stupid things like this.

      when emergency, i'll repeat that...*EMERGENCY* services are abused by idiots (intentionally or not) there need to be consequences taught.

      cause and effect, people.

      it's because people have too many freedoms and little consequences that they "learn" that there's nothing the matter with doing ***** like this.
      if you don't teach them good habits, they'll learn BAD ones people!
      you do something stupid that costs the rest of us some resources, then you get the consequences.

      fine them, community service their asses, jail them, finally kill them if they aren't possible to be made use of for the rest of us.

      there are only finite resources in the universe, if you can't be made into a useful one by your "owners" (that is the state/country you live in), then you're toast as you're obviously not worth the resources you consume compared to the resources you PROVIDE.
      then most efficient thing then is to "stop" you leeching right down to stopping you breathing and eating.
      • exeprime, on 08/04/2008, -6/+5Theoretically the universe is infinite, therefore so are its resources. What is finite is our ability to harvest and exploit them.
      • p3ngwin, on 08/04/2008, -6/+4the amount of energy in the universe is finite as there is no energy input.
        the amount of "area" is also apparently infinite, but obviously not.

        black holes are the only "output" from our universe and we have no idea where it goes.

        as for "input" there was the idea of Hawkins radiation bursting in a stream from what appeared to be the middle of the black hole, but recent theories suggest it is in fact matter from our universe that was attracted to the black hole's gravity, being super heated at the even horizon, and being "blasted" back into our universe.

        the amout of energy is finite, the "area" is finite even if it changes shape.....so:
        so our resources are currently believed to be finite and decreasing.

  • l0k0, on 08/03/2008, -4/+207I hate it when people go berserk over such trivial details. What is going to happen when this guy actually has to deal with real problems? If he pulls this ***** over some food I can't imagine what he'd do if he had to handle a legitimate issue.

      • hobbler, on 08/04/2008, -13/+3I came here to say something similar, more along the lines of, "He may have been calling to report a potential homicide if the idiot ***** his sandwich up again."
    • sgtbutterscotch, on 08/04/2008, -0/+26It's like that guy who sued the cleaners he took his pants to for a ridiculous amount of money.

  • tito13kfm, on 08/03/2008, -10/+140I knew this was Florida before I even read the summary. They have to put something in the water down there.

    Secondly, if the cops had tazered him would anybody here complain? I think it would be appropriate for misuse of an emergency number.
    • Alex2, on 08/03/2008, -4/+32I knew this was a Subway store just by looking at the Headline.
      Seriously.. what's so hard about 'Lettuce Tomatoes Onions Pickles Salt Pepper and Southwest Sauce' that they don't get?

    • Qtip42, on 08/04/2008, -1/+4makes a great germany or florida......
    • Rizmaster, on 08/04/2008, -5/+16If the cops tazered him then it would be a perfect example of taser misuse.

      Yes, he's a douchebag. Yes, he needed to be arrested for committing a crime. However as police proved here they don't need to shock the ***** out of him to arrest him. They can simply take him into custody without resorting to gestapo tactics. Obviously the guy was physically threatening if the subway people saw fit to close the store and thus their revenue stream just to keep his crazy ass out. The cops in question however simply did their job and took him in without abusing their pwoer.
      • Brian48216, on 08/04/2008, -1/+12while you're absolutely right-
        I still would have liked to have him tasered.

        But then again- that's why I'm not a cop.
      • papercupped, on 08/04/2008, -2/+1"Obviously the guy was physically threatening if the subway people saw fit to close the store and thus their revenue stream just to keep his crazy ass out."

        I would have just done it for the giggles.... and addressed the customers with "Ladies and Gentleman, I appologise for this man's behaviour. He's clearly upset, I don't know if there are perhaps some issues, that would be purely speculation. I think it would be best for all involved if we were to just wait for the police to arrive, and resolve this situation. In the mean time, wait until you see the look on this guys face when he realises what we've done. You think he's upset now? He is going to ***** a ***** brick in a second. Please, sit back and enjoy..." *locks door before tapping on the glass and waving to crazy man to come over*
      • Myonosken, on 08/04/2008, -1/+1I think it should be written in as an exception. "Abuse of emergency services? Thats a taserin'"
      • Fozefy, on 08/04/2008, -2/+1Umm, the employees are still getting paid. So I'm thinking you're incorrect about closing their "revenue stream". I have a feeling the owner wouldn't have made the same decision, though maybe, depending on the exact situation.
    • sysop073, on 08/04/2008, -1/+12I'm shocked they restrained themselves with the tazer, he was wielding a sandwich
    • fordistumley, on 08/04/2008, -0/+20Speaking as a Floridian, I don't think it's the water that does it man, it's the heat. Most people down here have spent so many years in this sweltering clime that it's turned their brains into poached eggs.
      • myhandleondigg, on 08/04/2008, -0/+15It's both the water and the heat. ***** 95% humidity will drive a man insane.

  • nontoxyc, on 08/03/2008, -20/+96They ask what you want at Subway but then when you tell them they act like it's a big inconvenience to put it on your ***** sandwich. "Extra peppers please" long sigh, handful of peppers thrown angrily onto sandwich. "Oil and vinegar?" "Sure." Bottle furiously squeezed releasing 1 cup of oil and vinegar onto sandwich. And don't even bother asking for light lettuce, if you agree to lettuce at all they are going to put a whole salad's worth on.

    Sometimes after they get all done making the sandwich I just have to say "You know what, I don't want it any more".
    • JaronDiggGuy, on 08/04/2008, -6/+93Have you never heard of the phrase 'kill them with kindness'? I bet if you looked them in the eye after making your sandwich and sincerely told them thank you, it would improve the quality of everybody else's sandwich after yours. You just have to be willing to sacrifice a little bit of self-righteousness in order to do so.
      • ToiletGhost, on 08/04/2008, -0/+24Or go to a sandwhich shop where you don't have to beg them to make it right.

        or make it yourself

    • BoonTobias, on 08/04/2008, -5/+28my friend works at a subway at grand central station in manhattan, and he said that it gets so outrageously busy that they're lucky to get breaks from 11 - 3:30, and some people just get too much into getting a custom sandwich made that's a pain in the ass over nothing
      • Namco, on 08/04/2008, -17/+3Mine goes like this: Um... hmmm, what's the sandwich of the day? Tuna, okay, I'll take a tuna on wheat. Yes cheese....um swiss. Not thanks, don't toast it. Yeah I want everything except for cucumbers, onions, or hot peppers.... no onions please.... no, no banana peppers please... yeah mustard, mayo... yes salt & pepper & oil & vinegar.... no chips, just a small soda.
      • celotil, on 08/04/2008, -4/+6I keep it simple, with a slice of Zen,

        "One foot long with everything, please."

        And you know, even though I said everything, they still check that I want peppers and such, "Because they're hot, Sir."
      • ToiletGhost, on 08/04/2008, -3/+29Oh goodness! Someone call OSHA; nearly five hours making sandwhiches in air conditioning without a break during peak hours.
      • siszam, on 08/04/2008, -15/+7ToiletGhost, you of all people should know that humans need toilet breaks. Furthermore, the law says you get so many breaks a day. Many businesses try to ignore that.
      • talkingwires, on 08/04/2008, -3/+9Two dollars bets that Siszam doesn't make a "living" working in a restaraunt, factory, or similar job. I've worked those jobs for ten years. "The law says you get so many breaks a day?" How-ya doin', trust-fund baby!

        Most recent example: I worked sixteen hours straight last St. Patrick's Day. I did not have an official break, but at hour twelve, I stormed out back to smoke a cigarette, only to have GM tell me to get back inside. Fortunately, the area manager had come in help, and came to my defense since my shift should've been over two hours earlier. Plus, the GM had stepped out to smoke a cigarette, too.

        Instead of overtime, they just added the extra hours to my next paycheck.....

        In a non-union state, getting overtime is a privilege or perk, never a right.
      • strib666, on 08/04/2008, -0/+15"In a non-union state, getting overtime is a privilege or perk, never a right."

        Overtime laws are federal. Your employer is not only screwing you, it is breaking the law.
      • lazersailer, on 08/04/2008, -0/+5You moron, during an 11am - 3:30pm shift you should according to federal laws get at most one break. so if they take it before 11 or after 3:30 then they're just ***** outta luck.
        anyways what did they expect working at subway in GC?

      • Namco, on 08/04/2008, -0/+3Over 4 hours? Then they get a lunch or two breaks.
    • Nairebis, on 08/04/2008, -0/+14Reginald, is that you?
    • bagboyrebel, on 08/04/2008, -0/+29I have never had that much of a problem with subway, but I did have an employee tell me that they don't have light lettuce.
      • PurpleSfinx, on 08/04/2008, -0/+6That's ridiculous! Light lettuce is essential. It has just .0002% fat.
      • itsthebrod, on 08/04/2008, -1/+6I hope the light lettuce has less of that fattening dihydrogen monoxide I've been hearing normal iceberg is chock-full of.
    • ripter, on 08/04/2008, -1/+7Never had that problem at a subway before, even when they where very busy.
    • genepooldesign, on 08/04/2008, -0/+6Sure, when you walk in there and treat them like a bunch of dumb asses, like you more than likely do, that is what happens. I would be willing to bet that the words "please" and "thank you" aren't part of your vocabulary.
    • spiritflare1, on 08/04/2008, -0/+7at minimum wage, what's the incentive to be nice, it's just a job.
      • creep303, on 08/04/2008, -5/+1Probably explains why you're posting on digg in the middle of the day at home, yes?

        (and YES i do realize the irony in posting what I just posted, but I'm at work, being nice to people.)
    • kayfouroh, on 08/04/2008, -1/+3They have to put two pounds of lettuce on to hide the fact that they put three slices of thin-cut deli meats on a foot long sandwich.
    • pagno, on 08/04/2008, -2/+2Ive swore off Subway since they removed the BMT from the $5 menu, and besides, everytime Ive been there recently, the bread is old, theres no substance to the sandwiches, and the people are ***** rude.

      • InSectWar, on 08/05/2008, -0/+2That movie was so good and so hilarious in so many ways. All the characters are classic! Thanks for sharing the clips! I was also just surprised to learn it's a Coen brothers movie. Didn't know that one.
  • jcorn1, on 08/03/2008, -3/+17Gotta believe the guy had gone bonkers. Who calls 911 for that? Wow! Interesting and also amazing that he didn't suffer worse consequences for calling 911 for something like this.
    • ToiletGhost, on 08/04/2008, -0/+7Worse consequences than being arrested?

      You want them to gas him or something?
      • coyote1284, on 08/04/2008, -0/+2"Worse consequences than being arrested?"

        Perhaps being found guilty of a *crime* and sentanced to at least community service.
    • CosmicJustice, on 08/04/2008, -1/+1Agreed. It sounds like they weren't even going to arrest him if would have just calmed down.
  • davidjunit, on 08/03/2008, -5/+32It's moments like these that I wish I were a cop. I'd arrest the guy for abusing the 911 system, throw him in a cell and eat the sandwich in front of him and then take him home after I finished sipping my super large drink. What's the worst that could happen? I get put on paid leave? : )
    • InfernoX, on 08/04/2008, -2/+12You could kill him, say it was self-defense and get a ***** medal.
    • ComeOutSwingin, on 08/04/2008, -3/+14No you wouldn't.
    • humanerror, on 08/04/2008, -4/+43The fact that you thought of that means you could never be a cop. You'd score too high on the IQ test.
    • BryanTravers, on 08/04/2008, -2/+2Ok....but he didn't even want the sandwiches. He even demanded they be destroyed.
    • nebion, on 08/04/2008, -0/+6Why would you want to take revenge on someone who seems by all indications to be most likely insane?

      The incidents of police misconduct are probably caused by people who think like you choosing to be police officers. Such attitudes should be filtered out.
    • ToiletGhost, on 08/04/2008, -1/+13You could definately be a cop. You're willing to arrest someone for a trivial offense while actual crime is being committed, go out of your way to harass him in his cell, and are already telling me that it's cool cause nobody can stop you from doing it.
  • ironeus, on 08/03/2008, -1/+77Did he expect Jared to personally show up and re-train the employee? douche.
    • mikephimikephi, on 08/04/2008, -1/+8He showed up, but just long enough to give them all aides
    • Disinterested, on 08/04/2008, -0/+4it'd be so epic to see jared bitch slap an employee who made his sandwich wrong

You really think making fun of sandwiches is a ***** joke? do you? BURN IN HELL, *****. Don't tell me where the ***** Subway is, because if you don't know, you have probably eaten there many times in the past and will again in the future.

      Bringing up memories of sandwiches in a comment thread based on raging middle aged subway customers? ***** low. I wish reporting inappropriate content actually did something these days, but in actuality, it won't change much. The same ***** will always come back, pointing at jokes, and relying on other sick ***** to digg them up.
      That's it digg. I'm starting to give up. It is going to take some ***** dynamite samaritans to drag this ***** back to the good site it used to be. For all you young ***** digging these guys up, I seriously question your humanity. This is not the time or the place to be making jokes about this kind of material, and you know that. You ***** know it.
      • grandinferno, on 08/04/2008, -2/+2I don't know why, but I piss myself everyday at this cut and paste... it's fantastic.
      • TheMidnight, on 08/04/2008, -1/+1@grandinferno: You're keeping Depends in business, aren't you?
    • Victorface, on 08/04/2008, -0/+3Public opinion on these types of comments show a perfectly even split between people who like it or hate it.
    • cutchyacokov, on 08/04/2008, -0/+3Was Mama Cass one of your friends?

      . . . hmmm that reference may be a little old for digg . . .
      • bagboyrebel, on 08/04/2008, -0/+1wasn't that just a rumor, I remember hearing somewhere that she didn't actually die while eating a sandwich.
  • soupcancooloff, on 08/04/2008, -8/+15If they had tased him the comments on this article would be very different.
    Just trying to offer some perspective.
    • InfernoX, on 08/04/2008, -2/+7Of course, because it would have shown the police stooping down to this guys level.
    • kayala, on 08/04/2008, -1/+15Why wouldn't our reaction differ if the story were significantly different? Tasers, at least the last time I checked, were supposed to be used to incapacitate people who became violent and uncontrollable. Apparently the cops managed to arrest this guy without tasing him, so there's no need to bring that up.
    • ldkronos, on 08/04/2008, -0/+6And if the subway employee had pulled out a chainsaw to cut the sandwich in half, the article would also have been different. What's your point?
  • BizarreNews, on 08/04/2008, -4/+20Florida has it's own TAG on Fark
    / - just sayin
  • buntee, on 08/04/2008, -3/+10That's Florida for ya...
    • mike215, on 08/04/2008, -4/+1and yet this is where they run nasa. rednecks, space shuttles, and alligators
      • bubba9999, on 08/04/2008, -0/+2The alligators are the only ones who know what they're doing.
    • dabura, on 08/04/2008, -0/+1I live in jax...go ahead, blow me.
  • ZachJTaylor, on 08/04/2008, -1/+53Reminds me of:

  • smizacks02, on 08/04/2008, -0/+7seriously.

    if there was a computer involved, this would belong on TheDailyWTF
  • warlax27, on 08/04/2008, -1/+99Michael: It's like we finish each other's...
    Lindsay: Sandwiches?
    Michael: Sentences. Why would I say...
    Lindsay: Sandwiches?
    • sphigel, on 08/04/2008, -1/+27Michael: That time I actually was going to say sandwiches.
    • Schmich, on 08/04/2008, -2/+16Michael: That time I actually was going to say...
      Lindsay: Sandwiches?
  • eggsovereasy, on 08/04/2008, -0/+25Wasn't he watching them make it? Could he not have just corrected the mistake?
    • brad1, on 08/04/2008, -0/+4He was probably on his cell phone at the time.
    • jackgh, on 08/06/2008, -0/+0Yeah...I suppose. BUT...he's a psycho *****...what do u expect?!
  • sockpuppets, on 08/04/2008, -9/+3Reports of him beheading bus passengers in 3.. 2... 1..
  • singingsox, on 08/04/2008, -6/+1I prefer DeAngelos.
  • bovox, on 08/04/2008, -3/+23I'm willing to bet that this guy is a Digg user and has The Consumerist bookmarked in his web browser.
  • username7410, on 08/04/2008, -1/+8Not surprised it happened in Florida.
  • lmp49, on 08/04/2008, -4/+7if I were the cop, I would have gotten the man his sandwich, then slapped him across the face with it
  • c4m320n, on 08/04/2008, -11/+1***** subway...i just ate there and have been sick for 2 days.
    • skin, on 08/04/2008, -0/+10It's probably from something else. Somebody has to be doing things very poorly for you to get food poisoning from a sub.
    • samimnot, on 08/04/2008, -0/+3Sick...physically or mentally?
      • cutchyacokov, on 08/04/2008, -0/+3Obviously it was excessive mental anguish over a poorly constructed sub.
      • c4m320n, on 08/04/2008, -2/+1Yeah it was mental anguish, I was so depressed about their ***** subs that i emoed out for a few days. But yeah skin im pretty damn sure it was subway, thats all i have had to eat was that one sub in the past two days.
      • grandinferno, on 08/04/2008, -0/+4Do you think maybe eating one sandwich in two days could be why you're sick... genius?
  • lolcoderer, on 08/04/2008, -10/+1Photoshoped!!!!
  • Infidelcastr0, on 08/04/2008, -1/+12Sandwiches are serious business.
    I'd say that man's situation qualified as an emergency.
  • Seann7656, on 08/04/2008, -2/+28Anyone with a name like Reginald is naturally going to be angry
  • hollywoodphony, on 08/04/2008, -6/+5Why the ***** would this guy call the police over a sandwich? Doesn't have a gun of his own??
  • mrzack, on 08/04/2008, -3/+2Inside Job
  • Serial0Hacker, on 08/04/2008, -2/+1Was the cop suppose to fix it?
  • Seann7656, on 08/04/2008, -1/+25They forgot the ***** bell peppers, of course I was angry! And I never gave you guys permission to to digg this article! I'm calling the cops!
  • digitallysick, on 08/04/2008, -11/+19Quiznos > Subway
    • talkingwires, on 08/04/2008, -1/+4Not if you're a vegetarian.

      But judging from this guy's actions, those beef growth-hormone withdrawals must've been pretty bad....
      • ShadowFox06, on 08/04/2008, -0/+3No, Quiznos has sandwiches for vegetarians. It's not like Subway is any different.
      • Fantom05, on 08/04/2008, -1/+2Go wash your hair, hippie!
    • thurows, on 08/04/2008, -0/+1Thundercloud > Quiznos > Subway
      • aphix, on 08/04/2008, -0/+1D'Angelo's > Thundercloud > Quiznos > Subway
  • coheedcollapse, on 08/04/2008, -1/+20I was listening to the police scanner once and I heard them talking about a woman who called 911 to let them know that there was traffic on one of our most heavily trafficked roads (it was narrowed to one lane due to construction). She also made a point to tell them that a woman working at the traffic site had given her a mean look.
  • silverzone, on 08/04/2008, -2/+8Jebus. if This guy was so serious about his sandwiches, he should have went to Schlotzsky's.
  • greeniemeani, on 08/04/2008, -0/+7How could it not be to his satisfaction if he told them exactly what to put on it?
    • terracottapai, on 08/04/2008, -0/+9Exactly, you ***** watch them make the sandwich.
      This guy is *****.
  • sgregory416, on 08/04/2008, -0/+4uh oh the jimmy dean sausage guy is up to it again.
    • UltraDavid, on 08/04/2008, -1/+1More like the James Dean sandwich guy.

      "...What do you got?" "Um... I got sandwiches." "Oh... well, I'm not sure I can rebel against sandwiches, but it's worth a shot."
  • santixar, on 08/04/2008, -0/+17Once I went to a Subway here in Buenos Aires and they ran out of bread, no kidding.
    But I didn't call 911... =(
    • Namco, on 08/04/2008, -1/+1Dude, the wraps are awesome, you should try them.
    • Nicoli075, on 08/05/2008, -0/+1Yeah I went to a KFC one time an they were out of chicken. The conversation went something along these lines...
      "Yes I'd like the 3 piece combo"
      "We ain't got no chicken"
      "...well...what do you have"
      "Sides"
      "facepalm"
  • SemiSarcastic, on 08/04/2008, -4/+6ARE YOU ***** ***** ME!?
    • Nicoli075, on 08/05/2008, -0/+0You'd be pissed too if you bought 2 I repeat TWO sandwiches and they messed them up too! Thankfully though I keep the police on speed dial for just these types of occasions.
  • LoveBrundibar, on 08/04/2008, -6/+3Only in Florida... That state is a disgrace to the union. UYD 4 LIFE!!!
    • bubba9999, on 08/04/2008, -1/+2Aw, go suck on a salamander. Out of all the states with bears, we're the most fun.
  • mostticks1965, on 08/04/2008, -5/+0People are so self centred, I can see calling the better business bureau... isnt there a separate number to contact the police when its not an emergency?

    http://notimeforclocks.wordpress.com/2008/08/03/11 ...
    • samimnot, on 08/04/2008, -0/+0Call the BBB, for what?

      Come on, man....lol / Every time I've been to Subway, I've stood in line, directly in front of the clear glass counter "telling them exactly what to put on my sandwich". People (like this guy...) would be complaining, even if they made the sandwich, themselves.
      • mostticks1965, on 08/04/2008, -0/+3yeah, my sister worked at Subway at some of the people she had to deal with were insane, I dont really care how they make my subs, want hot peppers? Sure, toasted? Why not, spell out happy birthday batman in olives on toothpicks? You only live once
  • btschul, on 08/04/2008, -3/+8There should be an national IQ requirement.
    • nsanidy, on 08/04/2008, -4/+7"an national"? You're right, there should be.
      • btschul, on 08/04/2008, -5/+6If your IQ was larger than your shoe size, you would know a typo when you see one.
      • Namco, on 08/04/2008, -7/+4"you would know a typo when you see one."

        Is that another typo? Personally I would know a typo when I SAW one.
      • BradMW, on 08/04/2008, -2/+1Are you ***** kidding Namco? Goddamn.
      • Namco, on 08/04/2008, -0/+1You're right BradMW, it's a grammatical error. I apologize.
    • Sunnygurm, on 08/04/2008, -0/+5Come on now, if everyone were smart, who would fold sweaters at the Gap?

      As much as ya might hate the stupidity of people sometimes, we need them to do the stuff we don't want to.
  • thegrantman, on 08/04/2008, -1/+37The cops do not negotiate improper sandwich preparation.They do however,respond to all allegations of donut abuse.
  • OpenIntro, on 08/04/2008, -3/+5This is a case where NO ONE would have complained if he had been tased 19 times....
  • hollyminkowski, on 08/04/2008, -2/+1Both Subway and this asshat will come to regret this incident.
  • GardenDoor, on 08/04/2008, -13/+3Can't blame the guy too much. I decided to go to Subway last weekend and specifically said that I wanted an extremely tiny amount of mustard and mayo. I trusted that my emphasis of this to the employee would make sense. I got home and it took me about 30 minutes to remove all the excess juices.
    • einrobstein, on 08/04/2008, -1/+1930 minutes? Holy *****, you must be the biggest moron in the world.
    • siszam, on 08/04/2008, -1/+15See that's the thing. If you're so very picky why not make your own sandwich? Your idea of a tiny amount of mustard and mayo is not the same as mine. I'm picky too but I don't ask other people to make food for me. When I eat out I usually go to a buffet so I can put things together the way I like it.
    • JedicodeWarrior, on 08/04/2008, -0/+4You can always call the Subway emergency line at 1-900-WAAAAAAAAAAAAA
  • kingscup, on 08/04/2008, -0/+6Here is an audio 9-1-1 call of someone being given the wrong hamburger in a drive-thru.
    http://www.snopes.com/crime/audio/burger.wma

    Snopes is calling it "undetermined" but they contacted the Orange County Sheriffs Department and OCSD said it was true.
