911 Calls
Because of a post done by Chacko_Stephen,
I was reminded that I have these actuall 911 calls.
Have you ever given any thought as to what runs through
people’s minds when they call 911 and ask the following questions?
This is a time when truth is stranger than fiction.
And keep in mind, these things actually happened.
Enjoy

911 One-Liner’s
Can you call the gas station on I-95 and let me know which ones are still open?
Can you send someone out to my house to change the battery in my smoke detector? I can’t reach it.
Please connect me to the switchboard.
I have the hiccups.
When’s my power coming back on?
There is a squirrel on my porch.
Where the hell are my food stamps? I’m a taxpayer, you know!
Why is the sun so hot in Arizona?
I have a Q-tip stuck in my ear!
There are too many cars parked on the street where I live.
My phone doesn’t work.
Bad Idea Calls
Dispatcher: Sheriff’s Department.
Male Calling: Yeah, do you deliver dope. Ah, me and my girlfriend, we need some dope.
According to an Associate Press article, a 45-year-old man led police on a high-speed chase between Texas and Oklahoma. The fleeing felon lost his patience and kept calling 911 asking the operator to tell the police to stop chasing him.
Dispatcher: 911.
Man: Yeah, I’m having trouble breathing. Out of breath. I think I’m gonna pass out.
Dispatcher: Where are you calling from?
Man: I’m at a pay phone at Ninth and Foster.
Dispatcher: Sir, an ambulance is on the way. Are you an asthmatic?
Man: No.
Dispatcher: What were you doing before you started having trouble breathing?
Man: Running from the police.
Other 911 Calls
Dispatcher: 911. Fire or emergency?

Caller: I’m not calling from a location. I’m calling from my cell-phone.

Woman: I’m trying to reach nine-eleven, but my phone doesn’t have an eleven on it.
Dispatcher: This is 9-11.
Woman: I thought you said it was nine-one-one.
Dispatcher: Yes, ma’am, nine-one-one and nine-eleven are the same thing.
Woman: Honey, I may be old but I’m not stupid!
Dispatcher: 911. What’s the nature of your emergency?
