WHOM DO YOU CALL WHEN THE FUR FLIES?

These 911 operators took to Reddit to share some of the wilder calls they’ve taken.

“Someone called because they got their head stuck in their cat’s scratching post. The cat was stuck inside with them. Throughout the call, I kept hearing, ‘Ow, dude, this isn’t fun for me either.’”

“I had a grown man call in about a monster trying to get into his son’s room. The monster had climbed a tree and was at his bedroom window. It was as big as his dog, and had hands like him—but tiny. Turns out, they had just moved to America and had never heard of raccoons.”

“Once I talked to a pizza delivery guy who couldn’t reach his destination because a defiant chicken was standing in the middle of the road.”

“On Thanksgiving morning, I got a call from a lady who needed help making a turkey. I told her this was an emergency line. She informed me this was an emergency, because she had family coming over.”
