911 anybody?

by jnette Staff

Real 911 Calls, believe it or not ... (!)

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?
Caller: 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 Dept. 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 her first child?
Caller: No, you idiot! This is her husband
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.



Be careful out there!

We used to have a schizophrenic who used to call our dispatch center fairly regularly. My fav was when he called and asked " Hey I found something in a bag at the bottom of the dumpster, it may be pot. Is is OK if I smoke it?"

He also met one of our deputies on the Court House steps and handed him a huge joint and told the deputy to please check it for poison and then give it back to him!

Good ones, Jnette. I love em.

My husband Jerry was on Sinemet for his tremors several years ago, and of course being a member of our ambulance corps, I would always answer the phone, no matter what time of day or night it was.

We had neighbor friends named, "Cindy and Eric."

One night the phone rang at 4 AM. Thinking it was an ambulance call, and knowing I'd probably have time to go on the call and be back in time to go to work, I answered it.

The caller was frantic! It was Jerry. He said, "Hurry up and go down to Cindy and Eric's Fran, they're having a sword fight on their front lawn!"

When I heard that, let me say, "I was disgusted?"
That killed my peaceful night's sleep.
