911 Emergency Calls

“Fight Against Stupidity And Bureaucracy”




A relative quick and funny post for the start of a new week. Always helps a bit to add a bit of humor to Mondays, I think.


This one is about 911 emergency calls. You would imagine that 911 calls would be made by serious people about serious events, that’s what the lines are set up for. But also because of their nature you don’t have to be qualified to use them.


When the intellectually challenged make a 911 call, the results are just about the same I reckon as when they make ordinary calls – unbelievable!


Here are a few examples.


Enjoy!




Dispatcher: 9-1-1 What is your emergency?


Caller: I heard what sounded like gunshots coming from the brown house on the corner.


Dispatcher: Do you have an address?


Caller: No, I have on a blouse and slacks, why?

Dispatcher: Excuse me?


Caller: I made a ham and cheese sandwich and left it on the kitchen table and when I came back from the bathroom, someone had taken a bite out of it.


Dispatcher: Was anything else taken?


Caller: No, but this has happened to me before and I'm sick and tired of it!
