911

E-comm, the Vancouver-based 911 service and dispatcher, has released its annual list of the Top 10 worst calls over the past year — and some are true head-scratchers that make you wonder if the caller used any common sense at all before dialing. The Top 10 worst calls received by E-comm in 2019 were: 1 To complain hotel parking spot was too small. 2 To complain hair salon didn’t style their hair properly. 3 To complain their neighbour was vacuuming late at night. 4 To complain the coin laundry machine didn’t have enough water. 5 To inquire why traffic was so bad. 6 To request police bring a shovel to dig their car out of the snow in front of their house. 7 Because police are being “too loud” responding to an emergency and requesting they come back in the morning. 8 To get information about water restrictions. 9 To report a broken ATM machine. 10 Because a gas station worker wouldn’t let them use the washroom.
