The one with the brownies is cute. Helping the elderly is a good deed, especially when cookies and cakes are included.

“...being used as a vantage point by a number of chickens”. “...seized their opportunity for feathery vengeance.”
So accurate. Having chickens is like having a bunch of very dumb, and yet somehow organized, little raptors.
No kidding. Add in a pissy rooster with big spurs and you could be in serious trouble if you can't get away.

As a child I called the cops on a friend because she took a toy and wouldn’t let me hold/play with it
SpacemanSam I hope they learned their lesson in a cell for a few weeks, the little thief!
My sister called the cops not quite on purpose; she was practicing on how to call 911 as she was 5. And the nice fire fighters told her to practice with a parent. Which my sister took as so long as mom was in the room, it counted as practice. Mom was folding laundry and left the cell phone in reach.
Which, harmless, but it leads to me pulling home from work with the cop, thinking my grandmother had an emergency (grandfather not a month having passed from a heart attack and grandmother falling out of bed and getting a wicked cut on her head two days after his death), with the cast my brother in just his underwear in his room relaxing then trying to figure out why 911 was called, and my mom going to my dad in the backyard (who is in his trucking smoking weed back when it was illegal) and trying to mime to put the blunt out! It didn't matter, since the cop just poked his head out and then went back inside.
Finally we figured out my sister got a hold of a cell phone and made a call. Took us a few minutes to figure out because we had her back with the dog who was nice but was crabby and protective in his old age. Cop was annoyed, but we lived in a quiet city. He just left once he saw we were just a bunch of assholes. Sorry officer.
Not sure about dumbest, but it could be classed as amusing;
I'm the patient in this story, after taking a pre dinner shower on my birthday this year I slipped getting out of the shower cubicle. Face planted on the wall and slid all the way down, fast, arse cheeks on separate sides of the shower door... 🤪... Managed to curl up sideways and extract the shower door to discover I'd sliced open my thigh on the door frame 🤬. Mum called 999, paramedics were summoned, who turned up FAST! So there I was, lying in a pool of my own blood, starkers, in the bottom of the shower cubicle and the paramedics decide they can't have all the fun and summon a team of firemen to help 😳
Long story short, they wrap up my thigh in every bandage they've got, dress me in shorts and t-shirt and then the next bit of fun begins.
With all the bandaging around my thigh, I couldn't walk, I could take a step at sorta a squat waddle, but there was just too much bandaging trying to hold in my blood. Now I'm no light weight, I mean I'm not as bad as those people whom you see on those programs, but the standard ways of getting a patient down the stairs wasn't going to work. So these firemen wrap me up, strap me up, and basically bounce me down step by step, using my own arm strength to help them. Halfway down my dad cracks a joke and the firemen discover it's my birthday.
So there I was, still covered in my own blood, being serenaded by half a dozen hunky firemen and paramedics to 'happy birthday'.... Couldn't make this shit up!
the fact that this is the UK makes it scarier
My ass cheeks hated me for reading this
@@atlanticiaac why?
Oof, man I never thought someone could die of bleeding out on a shower door before lol.
I'm glad they were able to patch you up. Thanks for sharing 👍
Long ago when we were kids, my sister called 911 on my friend at the time because she was "being annoying". They actually sent two police officers to our house to lecture my sister on misusing 911. My mom found out later that day, and when she got home she raised mighty hell on my sister. She was definitely grounded.
Story at 9:08:
even if there was a UFO, what are the police going to do about it??
Arrest them upon arrival. Duh 🙄
I think that's where the first part of "Protect and serve" comes into play.
I have one for this-I used to be a ski patroller at a resort in western Canada. I was doing an overnight emergency call shift, and got a call at midnight to go talk to a lady about her bladder infection. “Ma’m, I’m a first aider. There is absolutely nothing anyone can do for you until morning when you can go down to town and see a doctor, and go to the pharmacy that will open in the morning. Drink some cranberry juice, I’m going back to bed.”
Also-this has developed 2 days ago. And now it’s midnight. Two days later. And it’s an emergency.
To set the scene real fast, my grandmother along with myself(5 the time) and my two cousins who were 17 and 7 year old were at a park flying kites and one of them got stuck in a tree. It was low enough that if my older cousin had lifted me up I could have grabbed it but my Baba is a spaz and said it was to dangerous and said she would call someone. We all thought she was calling my uncle or my dad but she actually called the fire department. As they were picking up my cousin got fed up and climbed I to the tree to get it himself and Baba started screeching and dropped the phone so EVERYONE was sent out. So the police, fire department and and ambulance pull up to a public park to see a woman screaming like a banche hold to young children in death grips(who were also yelling) and a teenager calmly climbing down the tree with the untangled kite.
To this day Baba maintains she was right to call 911 even though they explained kites and teenaged boys 5ft up in trees are inappropriate uses of emergency services
Arrived on scene to find patient losing argument with her bedsheets
I absolutely LOVE how "the wee woo" has become a 'technical term'. 🤣🤣🤣
Paramedic cousin got called out to hotel for couple in "compromising situation".
Hotel manager called 911 because patient was a "well known person". Cousin gets there with partner and led up to suite.
Patient had his richard stuck inside a call girl's happy hole. Apparently while doing the deed, he stuck his thumb in her rear and it shocked her so bad her happy hole locked up around his pole like a vacuum seal.
They'd been stuck like that for almost an hour. Had to transport both to local hospital to "relax the situation".
I'm a volunteer firefighter in a rural area, and once we were called for an old lady feeling unwell. When we arrived at the address, we found a sticky note on her door bell stating: "Ring and wait 5 minutes, I walk slowly". We raise eyebrows, ring and wait. Sure enough, 5 minutes later a window on the second floor opens and the confused lady asks us what we want. We explain we're here for her. Through the conversation we manage to gather that she was expecting a regular ambulance instead of the fire department's and, mostly, that she didn't think we would be here so soon. She called because her leg had been hurting for few days and she wanted to go to the hospital to have it checked up. She could still walk, it just hurt. So this is clearly not an emergency, and definitely not worth monopolizing the only emergency ambulance of the area. She then doesn't leave us any choice but to wait in her courtyard for at least another 10 to 15 minutes while she packs her suitcase. Another 5 until she's down her flight of stairs. And then she had me run to fetch her shoes. To this day I still don't know why the heck they were on a barrel at the other side of her courtyard.
Lmao I love this story. You're awesome!
Damn, I have been extremely ill, weak and feel like im dying and wouldn't even call my mum because i don't want to be an inconvenience. Dont understand people that feel fine with wasting people's time.
Yeah, me too. I only tell someone about a problem I have if it persists for 2 weeks.
Some people tried telling me that it's ok to ask for help, but I just told them that I knew that already, but that I still don't want to take up resources without first considering alternatives.
I knew a lady that called paramedics about 5 times a week. I suspect it was just for attention.
I have a friend who was once dispatched to a Karen calling 911 because the cashier gave too much change. DONT TELL THEM JUST WALK AWAY WITH IT
Or give it back to the cashier? Why did 911 need to resolve this??
Not a Karen. Had good intentions tbh
@@convolve no the idea was good but you don't call emergency services for something like that
NiTeMar3s EXTREMELY Karen regardless of good intentions. You don’t waste public resources to make someone give ‘em some change back. While they are wasting time on this bullshit call, someone else is dying because of lack of ambulances/personnel attending bullshit calls.
There are reddits about this, too. It’s infuriating and heartbreaking to read them describe how someone who really needed help died while they were forced by law to check on whatever they were called to. Most of the time they only discover it was stupid people wasting precious time that could be used to save someone else after they arrive on scene.
Anthony Johnstone I’m starting to think that we have different definition.
Sure, calling emergency services for some shit like that is bad, but tons of people do it all the time. Would a baby that accidentally called 911 for math homework help be considered a Karen?
No way. Karen’s are defined by general disrespect, as long as someone has relatively good intentions for the people around them, that’s not a Karen.
12:50 I've seen the opposite of that on a similar thread. Guy's car had an electric failure, power unlocks wouldn't function. Thought he was locked into the car until they showed up and informed him that car doors have manual unlocks.
I read one where a lady was standing outside of her car crying. The guy approached her and asked what was wrong. She says that the clicker for her car lock stopped working and now she couldn't get into the car, and couldn't get to the place to replace the batteries or do anything. The guy grabs the keys from her and manually unlocks the door, holds it open for her and says, "It's going to be a long walk."
Googled mud crab and I gotta say I can't blame the guy for that one. I'd call 911 to if I saw a crab the size of a house cat in the kitchen. Then again I think that's just par for the course in the nope down under.
It was rummaging in his cabinet too. Probably looking for the cookies.
Phoebe5448 Mud crabs must like timtams.
The guy who couldn't remember the word for iron and start calling it a smoothie might have had a pretty severe concussion. Irons are pretty darn heavy.
I was thinking that too, but it could also just be a colloquialism/just the word that he used and didn't think was weird.
Well I also think I have a concussion bc when you said iron I thought it meant Iron ingot
to be fair to the woman at 12:45 , when your used to doing something one way, it's hard to realize you have a way to do it a different way. Add to that the panic of "Oh s***, I can't get to my baby" and calling for help doesn't seem like an overreaction. Plus, there are some cars that have different keys then the one that starts it, like one to open the trunk, and if she had one of those before the car with the keyfob, it kinda makes sense she blanked on that.
Welcome to our sunny paradise Australia.
To be fair, a mud crab can do some serious damage. Easily take off a finger.
Normal people: uh oh sounds like there may be an unwanted guest in my home, I should call the police
Me: grabs a knife from my kitchen and prepares to take matters into my own hands
I once smoked weed and had a panic attack. I called 911 saying that I was having a heart attack and dying. The EMTs and police all were laughing telling me I was just high.
To be fair, the paranoia can be intense on weed, plus your heart really is racing.
@@user-wr3vt8uq4s Yes that’s exactly what happened, and I was in school for ems so I was especially aware of my heart rate lol it’s funny looking back though! 😂
A 911 dispatch call from my hometown (in South Arkansas) nearly 8 years ago:
911 operator: 9-1-1, What is your emergency?
Caller: yea are the schools closed tomorrow?
911 operator: M'am school closings are not an emergency, but not that I am aware of. Why would they be?
Caller: Don't you watch TV?!? ISAAC, The Hurricane is hitting land NOW!!
911 operator: Yes m'am but we are in El Dorado, NOT in the Gulf Coast.
Caller: OH...OK Thank you...CLICK
911 operator: o O O O...DID THAT REALLY JUST HAPPEN?!?!
I work in EMS and I cannot fucking stand when people call 911 with a problem that they could’ve seen their primary for or that they easily could’ve drove or been driven to the hospital by family for. I work in a not se great city so while you just called be because there’s something in your eye, we have no trucks in the city now and there’s a cardiac arrest being put on hold because you had to call 911 for your eye
The thing is that it’s better to call 911 when you see smoke/think someone is hurt since it’s better to it be false alarm and you did call instead of it indeed being something and you don’t
My mom actually called 911 once because we saw smoke coming from a building! It turned out the building was a funeral home and they were creamating a deceased person! Apparently dispatchers get calls like that a lot!
Unless the smoke smells like skunk
I still keep remembering that reddit hospital story where two men rushed a poor girl to a hospital because they wanted to do that one thing from the hub and it ended up the way you'd expect when non-pros try it.
Getting to know the homeless of the city (police): A friend of mine admitted to this and said: Hey, you need all the friends you can get out there. His wife quoted :He's got friends in low places! Of course, he's now the police chief of a very posh tourist community!
I remember EMS brought a young lady into the ER because she put on tanning oil, and apparently the tanning oil had some kind of stuff in it that gave you a warming sensation. The lady neglected to read the bottle and freaked out, called 911. She was immediately evaluated and discharged lol
My sister(18), calling poison control for our niece(1)
Sister "hello? My niece drank catnip, what should I do?"
Operator "hum, haha I've never gotten a call like this before let me check"
In the end she was fine but wow that was probably a strange day for him.
A smoothie, lmao
Am I the only one who read this as, “Pandemics, what’s the dumbest situation you’ve been dispatched to”?
pAnDeMiCs?!
You mean paramedics?

I'm pretty sure they meant pandemics.

I’m not sure if we are breaking reality with this
Omg I didn't see the spelling and spent a good minute looking for the different word
Lol the one about the kayak made me think of an incident when I went canoing with scouts at Red Rock Reservoir in Iowa. We had this stupid game we would play called "canoe wars." We'd have like four canoes in the water and two people in each canoe. Everyone tries to tip the other canoes, and the last canoe still upright wins. We finished a round and moved into shallower water so we could flip the canoes back over. We were all standing there in waist-deep water laughing like a bunch of idiots when we saw a park ranger standing on the shore watching us, and we asked him if he needed something. He was like, "You guys seem fine." We were super confused until he explained that apparently somebody saw us with three capsized canoes (less than 20 feet from the shore, too) and called 911.
I'm a firefighter. We once got a call for a "cat stuck on a balcony" as we arrive on scene we find the balcony is not even 50cm off the ground and the gentleman who called can't sleep because of the cat meowing. He also couldn't get the cat off the balcony because he was afraid of cats so one of us had to grab the cat and get her off there.
That sounds like something you ask your neighbor for help with lol.
@Gi Gi lol very true
@@kyle18934 I had a neighbor terrified of lizards. Her husband asked me if I would take their sofa, 'cuz a lizard crawled up there & they couldn't get it out. I didn't have room for a 2nd sofa in my apt. so said no. 3 days later he tells me it crawled out on its own.
@@phlushphish793 getting rid of a sofa because of a lizard sounds like quite the decision 5o get rid of a lizard lol
8:44 the first sentence scared me for the second, I was found unconscious at a bus stop last year.. thought the story was gonna be about me 😂😂
I want to hear more aboout the cat caught under the treadmill.
I was curious about that to, how does a cat get under a treadmill
story 2...man...that sounds painful.
The alcoholic that ER doc dealt with sounds like my ex. He swore he wanted help to kick his addiction and I helped him find the resources and schedule appointments. He just kept finding reasons not to go, drinking instead, or purposely leaving my house (we lived in different towns) way too late to make it to the appointments. I don't know what happened there cuz I quit talking to him and dumped him shortly after that.
My favorite responder story: senior year of high school after Christmas in the Midwest, my siblings and I decided to throw some dry pine branches into the fire place. Those pine needles popped like firecrackers and let off a heck ton of smoke up the chimney. How is this a responder post? My friend was a volunteer firefighter in the area and has the recordings on his radio, which he played at lunch. They knew my house by name and I just about died laughing.
I was driving home at night and saw an SUV swerving in and out of lanes. I called the police thinking the person was drunk. Turns out the woman had bad vision and the reason she did not respond to my horns was because she was deaf. In all fairness it was too dark to see in her car and all I saw was someone almost going off the side of the road and hitting others multiple times.
That Malcolm is a mean ol' cuss, ain't he?
Lol - the Nana and makeup one.
Now there's one tough AND classy lady!
😅
A few months ago I called 911 because I heard some weird noises coming from the downstairs of my apartment and it really sounded like someone was in kitchen or something. I'm whopping 5 foot 1 inch fully grown female and not knowing what else to do called 911 and told them what was going on. I'm in a small town so the police arrived pretty quickly and confirmed no one was down there. It wasn't until like, an hour or so later that I realized my landlord had been working right outside and the noises I heard were probably him.
I remember working in a nursing home, the wife of a resident came to visit nearly every day. She was always turned out and with her face Perfectly done. We heard that she was being admitted after a broken hip and darned if she didn't Have her face on! Hospital gown and stretcher, but only night shift saw her naked face! Was a wonderful lady, too. Miss you Jean!
When malcom actually needs help he should cry wolf again.
That's what I was thinking. When Malcolm really needs help, no one's going to call. Honestly, being an EMT would shatter the little faith in humanity I have. EMTs are also vastly underpaid for the work they do.
My dad had gas so bad that everyone including the paramedics and doctors thought he was having a heart attack. Took an ultrasound and EKG to find out it was gas.
I feel so bad for the farmer that had a fan fall on him. That had to be so embarrassing
As a former coastie, that flare story is both fact and probable fiction.
Fact as in it actually did happen, fiction as in it’s not likely (though not impossible) the dude talking about it was the one to respond. It’s an old story, that everyone at every station, sector, and cutter had probably heard told at least once.
Better safe than sorry.
12:54 to be fair a lot of cars don't have locks the actual key goes to on the outside anymore. Or if they do they are super hidden
That's it I'm getting on the apps. The guy that couldn't leave his chair still managed to stay married. People can put up with my quirks.🤣

Not sure of the exact details of date, but a suspicious package arrives at Heathrow airport, London. Suspicious because a ticking noise was coming from inside it. Heathrow of course is one of the world's busiest airports, so evacuating it, or any part of it is a big deal. The bomb squad is sent in. They carefully open it to reveal..........a vibrator. I don't know why it was shipped with the batteries in it, but of course, having "fragile" stamped on it, it gets bumped around, and apparently switched on. By the time it came out of the cargo hold of the plane, the batteries had run down to the point where it was only ticking, not buzzing
If I would be able to find the post mentioning the Weather Channel, I would upvote it. Weather Channel's my favorite channel.
(if youre questioning why, watch it after 7 pm us cst, youre welcome)
The bad dream one was clearly dumb as hell, but given that the dispatcher said "difficulty breathing" it's totally understandable why they were dispatched
According to my paramedic, someone's house burning down and having to go check up on the young adult that they didn't get too much smoke on their lungs. He even said "Well we weren't needed in here" WHILST I was still in the ambulance. Yes, I'm still salty
Paramedic here, had a girl call during the night with covid symptoms. When we arrive she is outside waiting for us, bag packed and fine. Vitals were stable and she wanted transport. When we arrive at the hospital she takes off out the door and to someone waiting for her.
2:30 why does this sound familiar?
That nan with broken hip sounds like my mom and grandmother. I can't tell you how many times my mom wanted to go to the store for ingredients, shes stressed bc we're low on time, but she will go put her makeup on. "Mom, we're going to Walmart, not a fashion show"
Broken hip: Lady from Mom's church drove Herself! To the Hospital

I was at my college dorm one Saturday night. Small rural campus less than 30 people on weekend nights. I came walking up the road and I saw the park/field on fire. I of course called 911 and the dispatch said "wait are you calling about the fire in the park by highway 50? That is a controlled burn." Then she asked if I lived on the campus and I said yes. She told me other students were calling. Apparently Nobody told the college students about this event.
I got both my arms stuck in two different soda machines once. When the fire dept. and paramedics came, they told me they'd have to cut off my arms. I asked if they'd grow back. They told me yes and were about to cut when one of them asked if I was holding onto the sodas. I let go of them and they laughed their asses off. True story 🤥.
Ah, yes. Believable 😂

12:46 i've heard similar stories before...
I once got a call for a patient in the hospital parking lot. I don't remember what exactly the complaint was, passing out maybe? Before we got there they just went inside the hospital.
Bonus: We were like 15 minutes from the hospital (apparently the closer units were all busy)
When I was under 5. I called the cops to help me beat a level of a video game. Super Mario world.
Did they?
No but officers did stop by to check up.
Nintendo literally had a hotline specifically for that.
One time me and my dad were leaving my house to go visit my mom in the hospital. It was getting dark. There was a call on my dads pager that the woods were on fire. So my dad was like “son of a bitch, I guess we gotta go check this out” so we go to the house beside us and go up their shitty driveway to find out the people are just having a gigantic bonfire in the middle of the woods. My dad got out and told them that they needed to put it out
Night before my little brother's wedding, we had the police called on us, me, older brother and younger brother.
We weren't doing anything (brother didn't want a bachelor party) just borrowing a house from the church that the ceremony was going to be in.
Nosey neighbor called cause the house had been unused for some time.
When I was younger I stuck a cinnamon tik tak up my nose, my mom and sister laughed and my dad panicked to get it out, 911 was never called 🤣🤣🤣
Wait skin melting into fabric is a real thing
The gassy one that is one of the guys I helped train`s first call with me. We get a call for chest pain we do our evaluation normal as I look around asking questions I see a pot of chili and a empty bowl in the sink. A few questions of did it start after eating. I give the hold your nose to my probie and slapped him in the back hard and God all mighty the smell. If I had a stop watch that was a genesis world record 5 min long rip and him holding his ass screaming oh shit oh shit. We stayed till he finished while opening windows making sure he didn't fall in or pass out from the smell

Probably cheated on him.
Here’s a story.
Brother is a 911 operator. And he got a call and it went like this
Brother “911 what’s your emergency?”
Caller “can you please send ambulance and police here ? I have at xxxx”
Brother “yeah, what’s the problem the emergency services are on their way”
Caller “I just found out my girlfriend is pregnant and I don’t want the baby but she does and I told her to get an abortion”
Brother “.....and?”
Caller “can you maker her”
Brother “excuse me....?”
Caller “make her get an abortion, I told her that I didn’t want kids.”
Brother “sir, I’m sorry, but we can’t do that”
Caller “please? She’s said that she’s going to leave me if I don’t want the kid, and she wants to kick me out if MY house”
Brother “sir, we can’t force her to get an abortion, sorry”
When the police get there it turns out the guy was actually abusive to the poor girl, and guess what. The house wants even his. The girl owned it and he paid rent to her.
She left him and is now happily married to someone.

Correct, but perhaps it’s different in Canada.
Why is it always old ladies in these stories.

I'm kind of mad at the OP who answers calls from old ladies for non-medical non-emergencies, and then does whatever bullshit chore they were too lazy to do themselves. These people, old or not, should not be rewarded for wasting valuable resources and potentially endangering people who actually need them. They should be given hefty fines that require them to sell everything they own. This genuinely has me angry.
I think he's reading between the lines that they are lonely and isolated, and no doubt if there was a call for a true emergency, he'd book it right out of there.
