999 emergency!

[almareallymatters]

A woman dialled 999 to report that the rabbit she had just bought did not have floppy ears, police said.

The caller phoned the emergency number when she discovered the pet's ears did not live up to their description in a newspaper advert.

Other nuisance calls revealed by Stirling-based Central Scotland Police included two people who dialled 999 after being splashed by cars in wet weather.

I think I'll dial 999 the next time I can't open a jam jar...or I get a ladder in my tights!

I remember hearing a 999 call somewhere from a young boy who had a problem with his math homework.
His parents told him that if there ever was an emergency, he should call 999.
So, he did... with his math emergency.

You don't have a radio programme which children can ring up ask some questions in Holland?

In Japan we have a 30 minutes Mon-Fri programme, four experts will answer questions from kids all over the country.

Can't you just call your husband.....or is 999 the direct line?

Afraid not darling..."999?...yes....could you ask my husband to bring home a pint of milk and a large packet of chocolate digestives!"...if only!

Because I'm still groggy at this time of day, I actually thought, "Why would she be trying to get a pair of tights on a ladder?" But then I figured it out.

 

[almareallymatters]

Might work....you should give it a go!

I'd probably get about as much joy as the woman with the rabbit!

"Sorry Madam...whilst I appreciate that your being held at knife point by a vicious maniac we are currently trying to assist a woman who has a bunny with ears simply not floppy enough....your on your own!"

I used to work on the 999 switchboard and my favourite call was:

Me - Emergency, which service please?
Women - Police, quick there's two men fighting up my back passage!

 

[MunchyBrain]

I heard this one a while back where a woman was watching Hollyoaks or Eastenders or something, and one of the characters fell over, and the woman thought that it was real, so she called 999....

Yesss!! That was the one! I couldn't find it because I googled 999 but it was 911...

No, I don't think we have a radio show like that over here...
We do have something like that on tv though.

it was not the emergency switchboard but years ago when you had to call the operator to get a number a friend of my mothers took a call from a very polite person, all please, thank you, would you be so kind to. The caller wanted put through to the local police station, so the call was patched through, the police man answered, just as the friend was about to hang up the caller yelled loudly "f*** OFF!" and hung up.
