Paramedic here.
At the height of lockdown in the UK I was sent to a lady who called for an emergency ambulance as her ‘sex drive was too high.’
Also on my list of stupid calls:
Guy in his late 30’s who burnt his tongue on a baked potato.
Someone who has had pain in their knee for 30 years (decided at 3am that this was the time to get it sorted.)
A man in his 40’s who had a nightmare.
A guy who thought he might feel unwell later.
Man who scratched his testicle in the night with his long fingernail. No blood.
Here in the UK someone called the emergency services because he couldn’t find the TV remote.
My neighbor called 911 at 3am because he was smoking a brisket and didn’t want anyone to call in a house fire.
“hello? yes, my cigarettes fell. . .what should I do?. . .no, no fire, it’s just sitting there.”
Not an operator, but back when I was 20, I was at a party where a girl called 911. I went with my roommate to this party and we both crashed there. At the end of the night, he realized he forgot his contact lenses case at home, so he took a shot glass, filled it with water and put his contacts in. A few minutes later, the girl came into the room and saw the shot glass and downed it thinking it was vodka. When my roommate woke up and told he what she did, she got all panicked and called 911. I passed out before they arrived so I’m not sure what happened
