Default well, not real, but...
I know it's faked from an urban legend but i love Joe, the deer, the tire iron, and the bambulance. Our EMS instructor played this one for us in class one day to break the tension before DOT exams...it certainly worked! Especially funny for all of us nurses who know the worst tragedies happen to people who were "just minding my own g- d- business when..." Uh-huh.

The warning is there...if you're fussy about hearing strong language don't listen...or try to work in emergency care...

There was this one guy in Portland that kept calling 9-11 to come out and rid a nearby pond of frogs! Said their songs kept him up all night and called 9-11 several times in several days till he was threatened with being arrested!

It made local news, and well...guess many people harrassed him big time about it...so then 9-11 calls came again from his house due to all the harrassments! UHGGGGGGG!!!!!!! He even got death threats!

Yeah, nice use of the system there huh?!?!?

I work in a LTC facility and we had a lady one time who called 911 to tell them she couldn't get her bra off. The dispatcher got a chuckle out of it also when they called to tell us they had her on the line and could we please go check her. When I went and asked her why she called 911 about her bra, she just acted like "well, isn't that what I should do?" We also have another lady who has called 911 several different times because no one was coming to answer her light.

We had this rather simple family one time and the dad called 911 becausehe thought we were trying to steal their baby.....
After all we had taken the liberty of naming her BG
And we were also trying to MAKE her sick because her heard his precious little 33 weeker cry in the C-section room so he was sure she didn't need that tube crammed down her throat.
He had expressed these concerns to us which we attempted to calm his fears. We didn't know how miserably this had failed until the police came tapping at the NICU doors.
It was a long few weeks until we were able to get this kiddo home.

"Caller: I was running from the police."

LOL! It makes you wonder how these people survive in the wild!

Default Re: Real 911 calls.....
My mom was a 911 dispatcher for 23 years and she has a ton of stories about the crazy calls she took over the years. Here is one of my favorites:

A young woman called 911 to request an ambulance because she had "a rubbah stuck in her pu**y." It seems that she and her boyfriend could not retrieve the condom themselves, and they apparently thought that this was an emergency and warranted a call to 911. My mom directed them to go to the emergency room and explained that she would not be sending an ambulance.

There was a resident in the LTC facility that I work in who would use her phone to call 911, ER, her physician,and any phone number she could find. She would tell them to call the nurses station and tell them to change the channel on her television or either put her on the bed pan. She would never use the call light no matter how many times we re-oriented her on how to use it. She said that she figured calling someone else would get us to her room faster.

A friend of mine that works for the Romeoville P.D. told me their 911 center got a call from a lady that had her car locked and no keys. The 911 operator asked where was she calling from? The lady replied that she was calling from inside of her car. The 911 operator asked the lady to open her car door. When the dooir was opened there was a chiming noise. The keys were in the ignition.
