Funny 9 - 1 - 1 Calls!

My cousin in the United States once called 9-1-1 to complain about an old lady who mistakenly identified by my cousin as "the mistress" of her father. Little did she know that the old lady is our aunt, his father's older sister, who was petitioned to live with them. My cousin was about 8 or 9 nine years old when that incident happened and yeah... she was a bit bitchy at that time! Hahaha... brat girl that is!

Fifteen years later, my cousin is now tamed and takes the 9-1-1 dial with responsibility! Hehehe... Funny how people in the United States sometimes abuse or play prank or just innocently play prank on the very important hotline number 9-1-1. I said this because as I was digging up the graveyard of my email inbox, I found this very old email from a friend that was dated centuries ago about funny 9-1-1 calls. I just don't know if there are proofs that these calls had happened, hehehe. Just click on read them aloud, perhaps with some friends, too! Hahaha!

Dispatcher: Nine-one-one 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'm wearing a blouse and slacks, why?

Dispatcher: Nine-one-one What is your emergency?
Caller: Someone broke into my house and took a bite out of my ham and cheese sandwich.
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.

Dispatcher: Nine-one-one
Caller: Hi, is this the police?
Dispatcher: This is 911. Do you need police assistance?
Caller: Well, I don't know who to call. Can you tell me how to cook a turkey? I've never cooked one before.

Dispatcher: Nine-one-one. Fire or emergency?
Called: Fire, I guess.
Dispatcher: How can I help you sir?
Caller: I was wondering... does the Fire Dept. put snow chains on their trucks?
Dispatcher: Yes sir, do you have an emergency?
Caller: Well, I've spent the last 4 hours trying to put these chains on my tires and.... well.... do you think the Fire Department could come over and help me?
Dispatcher: Help you what?
Caller: Help me get these chains on my car!

Dispatcher: Nine-one-one What is the nature of your emergency?
Caller: I'm trying to reach nine eleven but my phone doesn't have an eleven on it.
Dispatcher: This is nine eleven.
Caller: I thought you just said it was nine-one-one
Dispatcher: Yes, ma'am nine-one-one and nine-eleven are the same thing.
Caller: Honey, I may be old, but I'm not stupid.

Dispatcher: Nine-one-one What's the nature of your emergency?
Caller: My wife is pregnant and her contractions are only two minutes apart.
Dispatcher: Is this he r first child?
Caller: No, you idiot! This is her husband

And the winner is...

Dispatcher: Nine-one-one
Caller: Yeah, I'm having trouble breathing. I'm all out of breath. Darn... I think I'm going to pass out.
Dispatcher: Sir, where are you calling from?
Caller: I'm at a pay phone. North and Foster. Damn......
Dispatcher: Sir, an ambulance is on the way. Are you an asthmatic?
Caller: No
Dispatcher: What where you doing before you started having trouble breathing? Caller: Running from the police. :-)
