I swear you all won’t believe this is true, but sadly it is! I was in the middle of a personal phone date last night with a new young man, and was enjoying myself quite thoroughly, and the young mans phone clicked off. As he was talking to me when it happened, I had a feeling it was a technical problem rather than being hung up on.
I hit redial hoping to be reconnected, and somehow, someway, I will never know how, it called 911 instead! I have never called 911, his phone number did have those numbers in it, but in the middle, not in the end. I don’t know how it happened, but I was sitting there, or rather laying there, nude, in the dark, with the “This is 911 what is your emergency?” I am serious! I was stunned, shocked, I couldn’t believe this was happening.
I told the lady, “No, there is no emergency, it was a phone/redial problem, please DO NOT send anyone.” I was told it is policy to send officers to some place after 911 is dialed to make sure everything is alright and to please be ready to greet the officers at the door momentarily, and they were there in under 5 min…….
I barely had time to wash my hands and throw something on before they were pounding on the door shining a flashlight in my face asking questions. I told them it was a phone problem and I was terribly sorry for the mistake, that I would never inconvenience anyone or ask for help when not in trouble.
So I think I will be a bit more careful hitting redial if someones phone number contains those digits. I would love to know how it happened, since as I said I have never called 911 in my life how hitting redial to someones phone number created this even to occur, but what an experience.
After an email to the phone lover in question, I was told the phone hadn’t been properly charged and it died. So boys, make sure your phones are charged! I guess I’m the only one that uses landlines anymore…….
