My rabbit doesn't have floppy ears - Quick, alert the cops!

[-Psy-]

A woman dialed 999 because a rabbit she bought via a newspaper advert did not have floppy ears, Central Scotland Police have said.

The force said staff were verbally abused after challenging her for using the emergency line for her complaint.

What Stern said...

*gets Stun batton out*

Ohi?

 

[DEATHMASTER]

999? wtf

 

[Vegeta897]

Only in America.

999? wtf

That's the much more logical number that we ring in Ireland and the UK for the emergency services.

In Ireland (and the continent I think) we also use 112.

 

[Dekstar]

I think they should thumper.

In other news, Richard Wright died today :<

Also I hate how many people call the police because of such retarded things.

Boring OP, boring thread.

I'll try and liven it up with an amusing anecdote.

One time at the petrol station I worked at, there was a very serious fight with one man trying to kill another. I rang 999, asked for the police and was put on hold for about a minute before I could explain the nature of the emergency.

I didn't realise that actually happened in real life.

Maybe they had to deal with...other emergencies. A minute is pretty good considering how many things they deal with day to day.

Softening rabbit ears for one.

I don't think so...

The whole point is you ring in an emergency, now, if im being chased down the street i wouldn't bother ringging the police as I wouldnt have time to be on hold.

 

[Phobie]

Alright, enjoy your mugging.

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

I know I will!

 

[Kamikazie]

*calls police*

"HELP!! My dick isn't floppy!! Owai-"

You know, people talk about crazy moronic 'mericans, and it's true, but if you want some good, plain old weird stupidity you have to go to the British countryside.

Some farmer from the UK once described his encounter with a UFO, and he described it as a "White blob that made no sound." In other words, a sheep in the distance.

waiting over a minute to contact emergency services is pathetic. That's why we have more than 1 operator for crying out loud.
