911 Abuse Really Causes Pain For Everyone

By Flossie Gibbs


It is no surprise that there is so much 911 abuse in the United States. People will use this service for all of the wrong reasons and they do not think about the consequences when playing practical jokes. When this line is tied up because of pranksters the professionals will not be able to handle a real crisis in time.

Some people making these calls do not have enough activities in their life. Instead of reading a book or getting a hobby they will simply play on the telephone. Fortunately some of these calls are made in error due to a very lame cellular telephone. If someone falls asleep on their telephone they may accidentally push the number nine key. The emergency line may then dial up if the telephone is programmed for this service once the nine key is pushed.

People who are very lonely may also dial this number for companionship. They believe that these operators have nothing better to do while they are on duty. There have been numerous cases where senior citizens have often contacted the person on duty for no reason at all. These individuals just want to talk to another human being and they do not know who else to contact.

A woman whose husband had passed away recently made it a point to contact the operators every night. She would tell them about her day and all of the things that she had done. If the operator was not busy at the moment he/she would listen to this woman for a short amount of time. This continued until the woman herself died.

The operators are very tired of people who call them for silly reasons. There are many spiteful women who make it a habit to contact the emergency people when their husbands will not "bend" their way. Once the married couple gets into an argument you can be sure that the wife will give these overworked operators a call.

The non-emergency category is a complete waste of time for everyone. People actually think that the police should be used as personal bodyguards against others. American people also think that law enforcement agencies should do such unimportant tasks that they can do themselves. Rescuing a cat from a tree or unlocking someones car is not a reason to dial many emergency lines. It is also unnecessary to bother these people with petty disputes.

Children have been known to make the most prank telephone calls to these very business like people. Some of the larger cities report that many youngsters will ask the operator to tell them a bedtime story at night. This may sound "cute" to many people but it is a very serious matter. These assistants have to be alert at all times and they just do not have the time to babysit someones children.

Adults are doing more 911 abuse than children in society. There have been numerous occasions when amorous males will contact these operators for all of the wrong reasons. Sometimes they may even threaten the attendant with harsh words. When these operators are female the men may even propose marriage to them. When these men are caught they may in fact face some very serious jail time which will keep them away from all women.
