Are you handicapped?

And this would be the point in the thread where I post the infamous cheeseburger 911 call.

[XCashier]

I'm from freakin' PHOENIX ARIZONA, one degree north of Hell, and I know how to scrape ice off of a windshield! How did this schmuck live to the age he is without being able to figure simple things out on his own?!

::looks out the window, wonders what's taking the Horsemen so long::

Probably busy scraping the ice off their new horseless carriages.

[PrideSwallower]

Wow, this is almost word for word the 911 call on Ebaum's World.

I wonder if sc was imitating it, if this is just common, or if the poster stole this.

Two words: Helicopter parents.

^-.-^

[ShinyGreenApple]

I live in Florida and have had to scrape ice before. A cheap plastic ruler will work. Or a squeegee. Or a plastic gift card.

Upset stomach (to clarify, this person literally just wanted a ride to the hospital in the ambulance, because they had $400 to spend)

Just to clarify, is it possible that morons like this are the reason the wait is so long when you go to the ER?

[Fenrus]

It really makes me wonder what it takes for emergency call centers to turn calls AWAY.

Oh you have no idea... we take so many b/s calls a day that really, there is almost NOTHING we'll turn away short of wiping an SC's behind.

Last week I was in the company cafe when I young lady in her late teens asked how to use a tea bag.

That's outrageous! Such as this should be instinctive!

Have her parents taught her nothing of value?

[Rapscallion]

DOH! my bad...so who do I call if I need help running a bath???

I'll do your back?

Hi, new poster here.

I'd believe just about anything.

Last week I was in the company cafe when I young lady in her late teens asked how to use a tea bag.

Please note, her English was perfect and she seemed normal in all respects.

Tell her to open her mouth wide while I --oops, wrong teabag.

Down Evil Irv, down dammit!

They're probably getting trained for a cattle roundup.

[ArcticChicken]

Just to clarify, is it possible that morons like this are the reason the wait is so long when you go to the ER?

Perhaps that's why my BF had to wait 15 minutes for a 1 minute ambulance ride.

He was fine, but the police, or the paramedics, or somebody wouldn't let him gert up snd walk the 100 or so feet to the hospital

[karma_gypsy]

sc: uh... there is ice on my windshield...
me: yes sir, it snowed last night. (I wasn't really sure what to say, first thing that came to mind)

How did you manage to get through the whole phone call without laughing? I'm impressed, I would have at least inserted a giggle or a light hearted chuckle.

[zzapp the witch]

Since when was *idiot* a french word?

It was ungodly early, I had to be to work at 6 AM. I was still in Zombie mode, and I was new, I didn't want to get in trouble. For me, it was more of a headdesk moment then a rofl moment.
But when you deal with sc's crying over spilt milk constantly, you learn a lot of control.
additional stupid calls:
-guy calling in about somebody accelerating in their huge diesel truck, releasing a blk cloud of exhaust... you know, like your average diesel beast-sized truck does...
-"someone parked in front of my house!"... yes, on that bit of public land called the street, where ANYONE can park.
-"there is a black guy trying to sell me magazines"... you wouldn't be calling me if he was white, would you.
