Toshiro Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Trained emergency operators take millions of 911 calls each year, and many of them are legitimate emergencies: suspicious persons, wrecks, accidents. But with cell phones at most everyone's fingertips, many of them are not. And some of those calls don't end happily.Restaurants nationwide seem to be a magnet:Florida: A man was arrested for misuse of 911 after he phoned in a "sauce" emergency -- twice.A woman called the cops because she thought a restaurant had run out of these.Oregon: This man spent Memorial Day in jail after he called for help at a fast-food restaurant.As do drugs:Experiment: An Oregon man dialed 911 because he tried this drug and couldn't shake the side effects.Wrong side of the law: A police officer -- now a former officer -- wasn't clear on common reactions to this drug when he sought help from 911.As do families:Messy room: Can't get the kids to clean up after themselves? You might not want to do what this man did.Traffic jam: The brother of a presidential candidate withdrew from campaign activities after he made this 911 call."Dead" phone: Even deactivated, cell phones can still reach 911, as this Chicago toddler's family found out.And then there are the cases that defy categorization:Pet emergency: When an Englishwoman's beloved pet escaped its cage, she asked for help finding it. The South Yorkshire police were not amused.Cutie cop: A woman who called 911 to get the number of a cute cop who went on a professional call to her home got this instead.Bystander: A man who found himself surrounded by police at a bar had the officers scratching their heads.Source: Msn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
