Woman calls cops over wrong pizza order

Getting the wrong pizza delivered to your home can certainly be upsetting, but one woman was so infuriated, she called the police to report her ordeal.

Police in Essex, England, have released the audio recording of the incident, in hopes of reminding the public that true emergencies don't involve the wrong topping on your pie.

The woman who called authorities started off the conversation saying, "I've been mugged off by a f------ takeaway, would you believe it."

"I rung up for an 18, a number 18 meat feast and she's trying to tell me no, no, you ordered a number eight."

"I'm allergic to mushrooms so I know for a fact I didn't order a number eight right, and I've got a pizza sat here with f------ mushrooms on it that I can't eat, £11.99 later she doesn't want to help me out or nothing. It's just ridiculous."

Listen to the call:

The female dispatcher explained to the caller: "You need to contact the pizza company to make a complaint and ask for your money back."

The caller responded: "Well, I tried to do that but she reckons she's the manager."

The dispatcher calmly explained, "There's nothing we can do in regard to the fact that the takeaway company has got your pizza order wrong."

Police superintendent Kevin Baldwin told Britain's Telegraph: "There's nothing that frustrates my team more than picking up the phone on a 9-9-9 call only for it to be a call which plainly isn't an emergency and is sometimes a deliberate hoax.

"This is a very busy time of the year where we are working flat out, so answering a 9-9-9 call made by someone who should have a bit more common sense isn't just infuriating, it could risk the life of someone who really needs us but can't get through."
