Remember I was totally irritated with him for following me home? Oh well, at least he didn't give me a ticket, it was the least he could have done after you almost had a heart attack (seeing a cop pull into the driveway).Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12903275662731696642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6966261284330853091.post-76116943305187031052010-06-09T14:57:46.261-07:002010-06-09T14:57:46.261-07:00Wow - I'd forgotten all about that time you ca...Wow - I'd forgotten all about that time you called 911 and they called back...didn't the police come out to our house once because you called them? I remember they were at the door and wanted to come in to make sure everything was ok. That was weird. I had no idea you were such a 911 addict :) You didn't get it from me...I don't remember ever calling 911 - I just figure if anybody is dumb enough to want to get me they deserve what they get...ALTHO I did see some idiot pass all the cars going up the hill on Dunne Ave about a week ago and I was sure tempted to call 911 then. It was bizarre and lucky nobody was coming down the hill in the oncoming lane because it would've been bad.Gale Hoover Hammondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05237734682554484421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6966261284330853091.post-22641693926386965012010-06-06T06:48:34.118-07:002010-06-06T06:48:34.118-07:00Melissa - you are so right.

The first few times I would say "this is a non emergency" but then the operator says something to the effect of "ok, now tell me why you are calling." So I thought it wasn't a huge deal but I don't want to be "that person" holding up the lines.<br /><br />Fiiiine, I'll program it into my phone. :)Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12903275662731696642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6966261284330853091.post-60904811270466484572010-06-05T15:29:37.152-07:002010-06-05T15:29:37.152-07:00In Dallas we lived in a high rise that overlooked ...In Dallas we lived in a high rise that overlooked a fairly busy intersection. I called 911 a couple of times - once because I heard what I thought were gunshots but were actually douchebags trying to scare birds with air rifles. Once was to report an accident, once for a car fire, and once for a guy who was driving on the wrong side of the street and then turned to drive the wrong way up a one-way street, running over the sidewalk and (I'm not kidding) bouncing his car off a building in the process.<br /><br />Good times.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04047700077883145458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6966261284330853091.post-75527890210587577712010-06-05T13:04:54.897-07:002010-06-05T13:04:54.897-07:00Um, there is a nonemergency number that you can ca...Um, there is a nonemergency number that you can call if it's a concern, but not a true emergency. I think you might need to program it. ;-)<br /><br />My two 911 and nonemergency calls:<br /><br />I called 911 a year ago because I got home and a fan in the garage was on and a light in my front room. I promptly left and called 911. We figured out that the power had gone out and then back on and those items turned on by itself (it has done this many times since).<br /><br />A few months ago, I heard some unusual noises in my backyard and called the nonemergency number to see if someone could come out which they did.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03965850900311584371noreply@blogger.com
