Real 911 calls.....

There was one on the TV not long ago about a guy who called 911 4 or 5 times because he thought the folks at the Burger King told him they were out of what he wanted on his burger (like no tomato or something). He ended up in the county lock up because he also had outstanding warrants....

Guess he took that "have it your way" thing WAY too serious.....

This happened about 10 years ago in South Carolina. Nurse was going to meet her hubby for lunch, he didn't show, she goes to the ATM for money. Punk comes up to rob her.

Cops make the scene, the nurse has dislocated the punk's shoulder, broken his arm, and is slamming his face into the ATM, punk is screaming for the cops to save him. They showed the "dash cam" and you can hear the cop trying to tell the nurse to stop while laughing his head off.

Lesson: never get between a hungry nurse and her food.

Or her french roast coffee. I guess that punk learned a thing or two.

it's a real 911 call...not so funny...a five year old boy called 911, told dispatcher that mommy wasn't breathing-dispatcher told the poor kid to stop playing with the phone, and to put adult on the line-no one dispatched
three hours later-he calls back repeats his story, and a diffrent dispatcher still won't believe the poor kid. threatens to send the cops out if he doesn't stop playing on the phone. an hour later the police arrive(sure it was sent out as non-emergency)
mom is dead on the floor-heart problems...
the dispatchers were suspended and after an investigation now face a year in prison:o

this is disgusting and sad. why do we teach our children to call 9-1-1 if they are going to be ignored?! :angryfire

this is truly disgusting. there are people that assume that just because someone is a kid, they're automatically making up stories. i hate that boy who cried wolf story, because i've seen people use that as an excuse for not trusting what someone says, instead of checking it out.

I have my very own 911 call. My husband had bought a used phone from a thirft store that had 911 programmed on it in speed dial. Anyways, we also own a 50 lb African spurred tortise. It was winter time and we usually have his dog house fixed up for him but we hadn't done it yet so we brought him in from outside so he doesn't freeze to death. Well, this phone

had the longest cord on it and Harold the tortise accidently got tangled up in the phone. And if you have ever dealt with a tortise that is tangled on something, the more you try to untangle the more he will bring his body into his shell and you will not be able to pull it out. It was about eleven thirty at night and I was getting ready to go to bed when all of a sudden I hear this loud very loud knocking at my door. I thought who could that be knocking so hard. When I opened the door there were 2 sheriff deputies asking me, "Did someone call 911 from this residence?" I said . "No, I didn't call 911."( Of course they were looking at me for any injuries.) As we were standing there, I looked down on the floor to the right of me and there was Harold all tangled up in the phone. I said "My turtle must have called 911!" We all started laughing and one of the sheriffs said "How about that a turtle that calls 911! Now that is a first and funny one!" I immediately unplugged the phone from the outlet and threw it in the garbage! :lol2:

At the fire dept, we got requested by a police officer to respond to a notorious drug-infested neighborhood about 2 am. A man in his 20s had a bloody mouth, very intoxicated (when I asked him how much he'd been drinking, he stopped, counted with his fingers for a few seconds and said "about 17 beers"). He was very upset, but was talking in circles. finally I asked him what was actually wrong, today, right now...and he said to me and the police officer:

"dude, you see those dudes sitting on that car up the street? man, i gave that one dude $10 for a rock and the #$%*@ took my money and hit me in the mouth. knocked my ^$% tooth out, man!"

so i asked him what he expected us to do about it and he said:

"man, go up there and find my tooth!!"

I said "dang, if you can't trust a crackhead what's this world coming to??"

I told him that in this neighborhood, someone had probably already found his tooth, went home, put it in a pipe and was trying to get it lit up. He just laughed and wandered off into the night.

another time, a transvestite had gotten into an argument with 2 prostitutes in the parking lot of a gas station. We got called out when he tried to hit them with a piece of re-bar and ended up cutting his hand. They were all intoxicated, he was cussing and raising hell, the hookers were howling laughing (probably because for a rare instance they weren't under arrest) and the police were trying to calm the transvestite down. I looked at his hand, it didn't need stitches, but he did need a tetorifice shot. he didn't want to go to the hospital so I said I'd clean his hand up and he could get his shot later in the day. He started cussing me, saying that if he was white I'd do more to help him. so I said "fine, clean your own hand up buddy". He threw the gauze pads I had given him on the ground... and the police cited him for littering.

The hookers were still laughing as we drove off.

Of course there were all the dispatch directions that said "drive down until you see a brown dog tied to a tree near that house where Junior's grandma used to sell them cornbread biscuits. take a left and keep going until you pass a broke-down barn with a bunch of tires on top of it. keep on the dirt part of the road until you see an old Jeep sitting on blocks next to a stack of peach jelly jars and you will have just passed the house." believe it or not....those things were always there.

One night I was working in step-down and I was caring for a patient with sundowners, well about 4 in the morning I received a phone call at the nurses station from our local 911 center stating there was a person calling 911 from my floor. The 911 operator patched me through to the call so I could try to figure out who it was. As I was listening to the conversation trying to figure out who it was, I had the other nurses going room to room trying to see if we could catch someone on the phone. We finally figured out it was my patient after she had made 3 calls to 911!! Guess what she was calling 911 for... because she said that she needed to go to the hospital!? :banghead:
