Scotland rules non-floppy ears not an emergency

[MarkBun]

STIRLING, Scotland – Your rabbit’s ears aren’t floppy? Sorry, that’s not an emergency. So said police in Scotland when a woman rang the emergency 999 number to discuss her concerns about her new pet. She said the newspaper ad promised floppy ears, but flop they would not.

Central Scotland Police said Monday they were equally unimpressed by another caller who complained that a passing car had splashed water on him, and by someone else inquiring about the postal code for a town’s post office.

“Whilst officers and staff are dealing with these frivolous matters that a member of the public has deemed so serious as to call 999, they are not dealing with genuine emergency calls,” said Chief Inspector Alan Stewart.

Alan Stewart? Wasn’t he the guy who did “Year of the Cat?” lolz….

That is too funny. Reminds me of the 911 call that was played on the radio a few years back of the kid who’d called looking for someone to help him with his math. xD

My friend used to take non-emergency police dispatch calls.

One woman phoned up that her neighbours chimney smoke had followed her to work, stifling laughter she asked the woman if the smoke was black or grey, the woman said grey, so she said ‘oooh we only deal with black smoke, you’ll have to call the RCMP for grey smoke’….and the woman thanked her gratefully!!!

Ohmeegee….0_o You have some strange folks down your way, K&K! ^_^

I like the dumb criminal things…you know, where some crook breaks into a place and gets stuck in the air vent and finally has to call 911 to have the police come pry him out. Those kinds of things just having me roftl’ing!
