Try Calling Nine-One-Number-Two
Me: “911, what’s your emergency?”
Caller: “I need help! Hurry, hurry!” *hangs up*
(I try to call back but get no answer. Two officers are sent. This is what I am told happened: The officers are met at the door by the caller.)
Caller: “In the bathroom. Hurry! Hurry!”
(The officers go to the bathroom, but don’t see anything wrong.)
Officer: “What happened? Why do you need the police?”
Caller: “My toilet is plugged up. I need you to fix it.”
Officer: “We don’t fix toilets. You need a plumber. 911 is for emergencies only.”
Caller: “This is an emergency. I need to use the toilet now!”
