Can you just imagine working in emergency services taking 9-1-1 calls? For sure, these hard-working people deal with emergency situations every minute of every day that they’re at work. They’re literally at the front lines of the emergencies that happen in our communities and they have to undergo regular counseling to deal with the horrors they have to handle every day. But they get their share of non-emergency annoying stuff, too. We’ve all seen the calls that go viral where someone called emergency services with the most random things. The thing is, these people are busy and don’t have time to be dealing with nonsense. Check out some of the stories below. This list has been circulating on the internet and we’re not sure if all of these really happened, but they’re doozies for sure. Enjoy!
