Well HELLO the world revolves around the west coast! How many times do we have to tell you! Totally lame. :uhh:

I think it's actually Carl's Jr. that serves that burger. However, after working in customer service for a good amount of time, I can tell you that many people confuse a specific product with different companies all the time.

So they are, in fact, not speaking to the same people they would if they were to call their local PD station (where you are)?

If so, you have a right to be upset with stupid shit like this. Of course it's comedy relief, but it's still sad that people are so lame.

I actually work in a PSAP answering 911. We service 9 police jurisdictions, 11 fire & medical jurisdictions and 9 city service jurisdictions. Each of the jurisdictions ranges in size and population but all are dense urban areas. Regardless of where you live, it's still the same, they are there to service you.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,12927713 Wed, 16 Mar 2005 18:24:09 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,12927529 anon :

I don't blame them personally, the 911's and non-emergencies come to the same place, same people.

Perhaps that's true where you are, and is generally true in areas serviced by Sheriff's departments that cover an entire county or metro area.

However, in areas like major cities or compact suburbs, 911 usually goes to a central dispatch area that works with multiple police and fire agencies. That's why it pisses me off when people call 911 for stupid shit.

Perhaps they should institute a secondary number like 912 for non-emergency calls so that it will be directed to their local police department without the fuss of having to look it up. It would be very easy to implement with current equipment.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,12927529 Wed, 16 Mar 2005 18:04:11 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,12927486 ccoggle : This gives us some source of entertainment.

Tying up a 911 line for 2.5 minutes isn't that bad, I would say...75% of the calls we receive on 911 could be reported on the non-emergency lines. Most people are simply too lazy to lookup the number. I don't blame them personally, the 911's and non-emergencies come to the same place, same people. They pay their taxes and have a right to use it when they see the need.

One person on a 2.5 minute call isn't that bad. An average accident on the freeway probably produces 20+ calls? A roll over or worse on the freeway can produce upwards of 50+ calls.

We get calls much worse than this, they just usually aren't as funny.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,12927486 Wed, 16 Mar 2005 17:55:25 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,12927415 Morac : I can't believe a 911 dispatcher would allow the 911 lines to be tied up for nearly 2 1/2 minutes by that idiot. The dispatcher should have told that woman that she is tieing up an emergency line and that if she ever called 911 again for a non-emergency issue, she'd be arrested. What if there had been a real emergency at that time?

I'm a 911 Dispatcher and we had this call on record at work. I personally think it's the funniest call I have ever heard, but of course, others may not understand the humuor unless they work in the industry.
