The unnamed woman got caught in the drive-thru queue at her local fast-food chain and missed the 11 am cut-off point, which meant she had to order from the regular menu.

The lady decided to take action by calling the police which earned her a rebuke for wasting their time.

Mid Sussex Neighbourhood Policing Director Darren Taylor wrote on Twitter: "A call @ 11.30 this morning from an angry lady who stated that due to the queue at the McDonalds drive thru, by the time she got to the window the breakfast service had stopped and she couldn't order a breakfast.

"The lady was given words of advice about ringing the police. (sic)"
