Scott and SadieWhen a restaurant botches your delivery order, most people complain in the app . . . but there’s probably one idiot who will call 911.
And stupidity like that doesn’t just happen in America.
The authorities in Saskatchewan, Canada, have released a list of the “Top 10 reasons NOT to call 911” . . . based on actual incidents from last year. (Being Canada, they politely said these calls, quote, “missed the mark.”)
Here’s the list:
1. 911 dispatchers received a call from an individual reporting that their tambourine was taken from a party they were at.
2. A person called 911 asking for help on a math equation because they didn’t want to fail their test in the morning.
3. Dispatchers got a call from someone having trouble with their washing machine.
4. A caller complained that their cat was “being mean” to them. They were apparently hoping an officer would come and help with the situation.
5. A person called to report that somebody had thrown their ice cream on the ground.
6. Someone called 911 to ask for help to unlock their cell phone.
7. 911 dispatchers got a call from someone saying that they had problems with BEES in their home.
8. A caller complained that a fox was roaming around the neighborhood and scaring a local cat.
9. A frustrated person called to complain that their parents were forcing them to clean their room. (Okay, so a few of these were probably KIDS.)
10. Someone called because they were worried that they didn’t recognize someone on their social media friend list.
