From time to time in my job, we get calls from one extreme to the next... not sure how many others are dispatchers here... but I would love to share my stories from time to time on here....
Stupid call #1: Lady calls because there are birds flying around Costco (shopping warehouse), and she's worried about their welfare (and YES, she did call 911 for this)... she wants an animal control officer to respond. Well, after her info was gathered, she ended the call by saying "HURRY, they are drinking each others saliva and I don't know how long they will live!!"
Stupid call #2: Man calls 911 (asks for a spanish interpreter) and asks if its illegal to sing to his girlfriend on the street.....
MMMMMM kay......
Funny call : a little kid calls 911 from a cell phone and asked one of my co-workrers on a date... (he called back about 20 times)... one of those times, he gave his "correct" address and, well... our PD went out and had a nice conversation with the kids parents........ he never called again.
Weird call : Woman calls 911, because her boyfriend told her he would pay her if she would watch him "play with himself".... she called us, concerned.... thinks hes crazy....
The call-taker very nicely gave her the number to the mental hospital....
These are just a few I thought of.... I will come up with more later.... some better ones.... Promise.
