Emergency Calls

Apparently, Canadians are as goofy as everyone else.   The Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Saskatchewan, Canada, recently released a list of inappropriate, non-emergency calls placed to their 911 emergency line in 2022.

One person, for example, called the emergency line seeking help with deleting unwanted voicemails.  Another 911 caller wanted to report that their roommate had eaten their take-out dinner order.

On one occasion, a caller wanted help with a clogged drain.  The emergency center also received a call from someone who ran out of milk, and a person reporting that swallowing a mosquito had caused them to choke and lose their dentures.

Perhaps the most inappropriate call came from a prankster wishing to report a cougar on the prowl.  In this case the “cougar” referenced an older woman seeking a relationship with a younger man.

One man’s hottie is another man’s emergency.
