Top Ten Reasons Not to Call 911
You have to check out this fascinating, funny, and downright bizarre list that Time has put together of Top Ten Non-Emergency 911 Calls.
Here’s a sampling…
A police officer who steals marijuana and gives himself a drug-induced fit of panic His conversation with the dispatcher: “I think we’re dying. We made brownies, and I think we’re dead. Time is going by really really really really slowly.” They survived and the police officer was lucky not to have to do time.
An Ohio man called 911 in May 2009 after his live-in adult son refused to clean his messy bedroom.
An Oregon man called 911 because a box of orange juice had been omitted from his younger brother’s order at a McDonald’s drive-thru.
And that’s just the start of a list of bizarre and odd 911 calls. Check out the Time article for more.
Obviously no one ever told these people that 911 calls really should be for life or death situations.
