More Dumb 911 Calls is this week’s Mystery Question since I had fun with them last week. I want you to know it’s very hard to think of a fake call after all the ones I found! Oh, and I turned Deception in Friday at 10:30!
Before we get to the 911 calls, the photo and verse. I took this driving to Tupelo, Mississippi early one morning. And I did pull over to get the photo. lol But every time I look at this photo, I think about Psalm 113:3. The beauty of nature is God’s reminder of Who He is!
Now for last week’s Crazy 911 Calls Mystery Question: Here are four calls made to the 911 operator. Three are REALLY true, and I made up the fourth one. It’s up to you to figure out which one I made up.
-
THE OPERATOR ANSWERED A CALL. “911, WHAT IS YOUR EMERGENCY? “UH…I’M, UH…STUCK.” “SIR, WHERE ARE YOU STUCK?” “UH…IN THE CHIMNEY.” “CAN YOU GIVE ME THE ADDRESS?” “UH…NOT SURE…I THINK IT’S ON BEEKER STREET…THE GREEN HOUSE.” POLICE ARRIVED TO FIND A BURGLAR STUCK IN THE CHIMNEY.
-
“HELP ME, PLEASE!” “MA’AM, CALM DOWN AND TELL ME WHAT’S WRONG.” “MY HOUSE IS ON FIRE. I JUST MOVED IN TODAY AND TURNED ON THE HEAT AND, AND, AND, THAT BIG METAL THING IN MY LIVING ROOM CAUGHT ON FIRE, PLEASE HUUURRRRRYYY! THERE ARE FLAMES INSIDE AND IT’S GETTING HOT! HUUURRRRYYY!!! THE OFFICER STEPS INSIDE. “SEE, IT’S ON FIRE. LOOK THROUGH THAT LITTLE GLASS AND YOU CAN SEE THE FLAMES.” “MA’AM, THAT’S YOUR HEATER. IT USES FIRE TO WARM YOUR HOME. IT’S PERFECTLY SAFE.”
-
“911, WHAT’S YOUR EMERGENCY?” “I THINK MY HOUSE IS ON FIRE.” “YOU THINK YOUR HOUSE IS ON FIRE? DO YOU SEE FLAMES OR SMOKE?” “NO. MY WALL IS HOT! WOULD YOU PLEASE SEND SOMEONE OVER TO CHECK IT OUT?” THE OFFICER ARRIVES AT THE DOOR, PEEKS INSIDE, AND SEES THE GENTLEMAN SITTING ON HIS COUCH WATCHING JEOPARDY. “THANKS FOR COMING, OFFICER. MY HOUSE MAY BE ON FIRE. THE WALL IS HOT. SEE. FEEL RIGHT HERE.” “SIR, YOU HAVE A ROARING FIRE GOING IN THE FIREPLACE. NATURALLY, THE WALL ABOVE IT MAY GET A LITTLE WARM.” “THANK YOU, OFFICER. THAT NEVER OCCURRED TO ME.”
-
“911, WHAT IS YOUR EMERGENCY?” “PLEASE HELP ME! I’VE BEEN LOCKED INSIDE MY BATHROOM FOR SEVERAL HOURS AND CAN’T GET OUT. AND I’M PREGNANT. PLEASE HELP ME!” THE OFFICER ARRIVES AND STANDS OUTSIDE THE BATHROOM DOOR. SHE’S CRYING. “I’M SO UPSET I’LL LOSE MY BABY.” MORE SOBBING. “MA’AM, DID YOU TRY TURNING THE LITTLE BUTTON IN THE CENTER OF THE KNOB?” SILENCE. CLICK. “I THINK I HAVE IT NOW. THANK YOU FOR COMING BY.”
And the answer is…#1. Congrats to all who guessed correctly!
Now for this week’s More Dumb 911 Calls: Here are four calls made to the 911 operator. Three are REALLY true, and I made up the fourth one. It’s up to you to figure out which one I made up.
- A drunk person called to report he was being harassed. Turns out he was being arrested by police officers for throwing pizza at people.
- One young woman called 911 around 2 a.m. saying that her legs were turning blue. When the First Responders arrived at her house, sure enough, her legs were turning blue. Turns out she’d had worn a new pair of dark blue jeans to the club that night, and the dye had rubbed off on her legs.
- A woman called to complain that her McDonald’s triple thick milkshake wasn’t thick.”
- During the NCAA College playoffs, a man called 911 asking for the police to be sent to the local TV station. He wanted the police to make the station stop broadcasting the live weather coverage of tornado activity in the area so he could watch the basketball game.
Okay, Super Sleuths. Which one did I make up? Leave your answers in the comments and I’ll enter you in a drawing for a book from my library!

We’ll see, Mary. Thanks for stopping by.
Beautiful photo and verse. I think you made up number 1 because it made me laugh the hardest!
Author
It makes my day when I make someone laugh, Priscilla! Thanks so much for stopping by and letting me know. And we’ll see next week if it’s #1.
Just finished reading “Obsession” (really enjoyed it)… looking forward to “Deception”. I’m going to guess #3.
Author
I’m so glad you enjoyed Deception, Angela! Thanks for stopping in, and we’ll see next week if it’s #3.
I’ll say three. People are unbelievable!
Gorgeous picture as always! We learned a song to that verse years ago.
Author
I love that song, Paula. And yes, people are unbelievable. lol Thanks for stopping by.
Beautiful photo, and I love the verse you paired with it, Pat. Also, congrats on getting “Deception” turned in. Whew!
After reading those four 911 calls, I found myself shaking my head. Nobody could be that…but then I’ve been around long enough to have to say, yes they can. Well, number 3 can’t be made up. After all, not getting a thick milkshake that’s supposed to be triple thick is definitely an emergency. I am going to say you made up #4 this week, though I think there’s a lot on TV I wish they’d stop broadcasting.
Author
Yes, it was a WHEW! Tim. And I’m glad you liked the photo and verse. And we’ll see next week if it’s #4. 😉
I think it’s #4 this time but they’re all a hoot.
Author
So glad you think they’re all a hoot, Delore! These were fun. Thanks for stopping by.
Wow, the fact that three of these are true is just incredible! O_O I’m going with #2.
Author
I so agree, Elizabeth! You have no idea how hard it is to make one up to match the other three. lol Thanks for stopping by. We’ll see next week if it’s #2.
Congratulations on “Deception,” Patricia! Your talents apparently extend beyond writing: the photo is beautiful.
All four of these 911 calls sound unbelievable. I have to go with #3.
Author

Love the scripture and photo, Pat!
I’m guessing #4.

I am guessing #3.
Author
Hi Gloria! Number 3 is getting a lot of traction. 😉 We’ll see next week. Thanks for stopping by.
#2, I hope is false!
Author
Hi MS Barb! I’d like to think they all were false. lol We’ll see next week if it’s #2. Thanks for stopping by.
I love the picture. I can understand why it makes you think of that particular verse in Psalms.
In the city where I live, businesses with alarm systems can be assessed a fee per false alarm that results in the police being dispatched after a specified number of false alarms per month. I can recall various occasions in banking when a teller would accidentally hit the alarm button and rush to call the police to cancel the alarm before an officer was dispatched. That kind of law (or regulation) should be adopted everywhere and include bogus calls like these. Imagine having a true emergency and waiting an unnecessarily long time for the police or first responders to arrive because they are tied up with wackos like these. End of rant. 🙂 I’m going with #3 because I am tired and would be glad to have a refreshing milk shake, whether it was thick or not.

I love that verse in Psalms, Edward. Speaking of false alarms…I have a security system and one night after I set it, I received a phone call from a friend who’d left their phone at my house. Still in my pajamas, I hopped in my car and took it home…yep, forgot to turn the alarm off, and since my phone is programmed to go silent after 10 pm, I didn’t get the calls checking to see if it was a false alarm until I happened to notice my phone was blinking. By this time, I had to give them a different code from my normal one…that I couldn’t remember…I was on the phone trying to resolve the problem when my doorbell rings…
yep. It’s the police checking to see if someone had broken into my house. I’m standing at the door in my pjs, on the phone with the security company trying to explain to the officer what had happened…
We’ll see next week if it’s #3…go get you a milkshake!
That’s quite a story, Pat. I’m thankful for security systems. Your security system probably has two arming settings, one for away, and one for stay (which doesn’t use the inside motion sensors). Check and see of the stay setting allows you to arm it with no entry delay. That means if any sensor is tripped, the alarm will sound immediately. That will not give intruders time to silently move through your house, and in your example, would have let you know very loudly that you had tripped the alarm.

My problem was, Tim, I didn’t hear the alarm dinging when I left the house. My mind was focused on getting the cell phone home. lol That shows I can’t multitask any longer. 🙂
I’ll choose #3 this time.
