People Apparently Called the Police Because Facebook Went Down

According to amusing tweets from a sergeant with the L.A. County Sheriff's Department

If you freaked out about Facebook going down earlier on August 1st , we hope your next call wasn’t 911. Sounds obvious, right? Apparently not to everyone, according to these tweets from Sergeant Burton Brink of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department:

Add this incident to the list of inappropriate times to call the police – from the British woman who called 911 because the ice cream man didn’t put enough sprinkles on her ice cream to the Florida womanwho called 911 because she claimed a restaurant served her undercooked waffles.
