Wisconsin woman wanted a burger at 3 AM, but McDonald's had switched to the breakfast menu, and...


When Shanaya Edgell arrived early yesterday morning at a McDonald’s in Janesville, Wisconsin, she was expecting to order from the fast food joint’s regular menu--Big Macs, french fries, Chicken McNuggets, and the like.

Except it was around 3 AM and the restaurant had already switched over to its breakfast menu--hash browns, Egg McMuffins, hotcakes, and the like. This enraged Edgell, according to Janesville Police Department officers, since she wanted a cheeseburger.

The 22-year-old--for some unexplained reason--turned on her boyfriend, biting him on the arm and tearing off his shirt. Darrell Page, 40, explained to a cop that Edgell “wanted a burger from McDonald’s,” so they drove to the restaurant--only to discover at the drive-thru window that the eatery “had stopped serving hamburgers and was now only serving breakfast.” Edgell, he added, “got upset because she did not want breakfast and only wanted a cheeseburger.”

After driving away, Edgell apparently changed her mind, and directed Page to “return to McDonald’s so that she could get breakfast,” according to a misdemeanor criminal complaint filed in Circuit Court. At this point, Edgell allegedly began striking Page in the face and biting his right arm. Page also told police that when he pulled his car over during the assault, Edgell got out of the vehicle and climbed atop the hood to keep him from leaving.

3. Mental illness or drug abuse can cause strange behaviors

BTW, these kind of 'reports' seem to be very popular at racist type boards. They seldom engender intelligent discussions. ;)

Also, the age disparity brings up another set of questions.

7. Falling Down...
Michael Douglas tries to get breakfast in McD's at 10:31 am and can't. He then goes on a rampage all over the city. Good movie. Bad food.

Somehow I can't imagine getting pissed off at not having to eat McDonalds.

For shame. That's where I always went when I worked night shifts.
