66 year olds shouldn't be that senile. Lock him up.

The cops here in Austin, TX, said I should call 911 for my neighbors' constantly barking dogs.

Luckily the neighbors moved away before I did anything.

That old man wants his lemonade, damnit. Get him some lemonade!

The 911 dispatchers should know better. There should be a person they can transfer the silly calls too. In all seriousness, or at least the most I can muster, things like this are emergencies to old people.

That's bullshiat. 66 isn't old. Clint Eastwood is a decade older than that and he directed two movies this year. Give old people a little more credit. This guy's just crazy.

Anybody that calls 911 for stupid stuff like this should get a 3 day vacation in a mental hospital. There's obviously something wrong with them.

I don't understand people who treat 911 as a universal complaint department. I learned as a very young child that you *never* call unless it's an emergency. What are these nutjobs thinking?

 
Perducci 2009-02-07 08:13:47 PM  
In cases like this the 911 operator should transfer the idiot to a non-emergency number where a call center employee collects his contact information and enters it into a billing system.

Mail the old fart an invoice, payable immediately, for wasting 911's time, along with a warning that if they ever do it again they'll be charged with endangering the public (or whatever the closest thing might be).

I once beat up a 7 year old at his lemonade stand for running out, so I'm getting a kick out of these replies.

/later found out it was Country Time

Lemonade, apparently.

This is a pretty important detail, you can't just MAKE pink lemonade its much rarer.

This is why I hated customer service. People do shiat like this all the time thinking they're helping or that they can shame management into producing something that just isn't there.

Shiat like that will make you hate people in a hurry. I took a call once from a guy who was mad a black person was walking down Beverly Blvd.

And people continue to wonder why cops have such bad attitudes.

Excactly. I've called 911 once in my life and I'm well over half the age of this nutjob. (I thought my neighbor's house had been broken into but it had been kicked in years before and never properly repaired, and that night he had just left it open.)

 
Scorched Colon 2009-02-07 09:44:34 PM  
How stupid are people to call 911 about lack of lemonade at a restaurant? What exactly is the thought process here?

1) Restaurant is out of lemonade.

2) Damn I really want a lemonade.

3) Call 911.

wtf?

 
Proud2B_American 2009-02-07 09:46:00 PM  
Got a 911 call for an unresponsive elderly male locked in a bathroom. Turns out he went into hide from his screeching 73 year old (harpy) wife. On arrival, with the PD present, he came out and his wife promptly biatch slapped him. She got a real nice pair of silver bracelets and he went to stay with son.

/Actually kinda sad, but he was really afraid of her.

 
ultraholland 2009-02-07 09:47:30 PM  
he should go around the corner, where fudge is made.

Once responded to a 911 call of a woman feeling "weak and dizzy all over." While the medics were working her up, I noticed an empty bottle of Cuervo in the corner. I asked her, "Hey, Tamiquashawnda, did you drink this bottle last night?" She said "Yeah, so what?"


/ She called 911 for a farkin hang over
// No wonder system is Farked

I'm just getting over a bout of flu. For some reason, whenever I get sick like this I don't want anything to drink but pink lemonade.

I can empathize with the crazy old coot.

This old man is a retard and deserves all the ridicule he gets. Yes, 911 is for emergencies, but life and death emergencies. All this old farker accomplished was waste valulable time and resources that could have been needed to help someone with a real emergency, like someone got shot in the dick or something.

The police are here to enforce the goddamn law and investigate goddamn crimes. They are not here to ensure that someplace that sells something always has it in stock.
