After paying for a 10-piece, a local woman called 911 three times after being told the McDonald's was out of Chicken Nuggets. The McMeltdown occurred last week at a McDonald's in Fort Pierce. Latreasa L. Goodman received a notice to appear on a misuse of 911 charge, according to a police report.

"This is an emergency," Goodman maintained to police. "If I would have known they didn't have McNuggets, I wouldn't have given my money, and now she wants to give me a McDouble, but I don't want one."

McCartney is a vegetarian for the past three decades, and McDonald's use of the Beatles' photo at its restaurant in his hometown rankled him.
