Police get call over non-floppy rabbit ears

 

STIRLING, Scotland -Your rabbit's ears aren't floppy? Sorry, that's not an emergency. So said police in Scotland when a woman rang the emergency 999 number to discuss her concerns about her new pet. She said the newspaper ad promised floppy ears, but flop they would not.

Central Scotland Police said Monday they were equally unimpressed by another caller who complained that a passing car had splashed water on him, and by someone else inquiring about the postal code for a town's post office.

"Whilst officers and staff are dealing with these frivolous matters that a member of the public has deemed so serious as to call 999, they are not dealing with genuine emergency calls," said Chief Inspector Alan Stewart.

Well done by the operators of the emergency service. I guess calling 911 or 999 has replaced calling 411 in the minds of stupid people.

Either that, or there really isn't anything better to do in Scotland.

411 doesn't exist here, 118 500 does, but its exhorbitant, guess thery thought it was cheaper. Thing is all these calls should be traced and charged for however much it cost for the services cost during the call. That'd put shame to them.

I don't know if it is stupid or selfish but we have them in the US too. I think they can get fined here in the US.
