911

what the pup?


so tonight at work i somehow called 911. i was getting ready to dial one of the girls parents and realized the phone was already ringing. and i hadn't even pressed any buttons. weird. so i just hung up. right after the phone rang- i answered and it was 911 saying they just received a call from this number who hung up. they asked my name and if i could speak freely. i explained that i had no idea how the number got dialed. they said an officer was dispatched and he would be there shortly to check in... i was in another room with a co-worker when one of girls yells my name. i walk out to find a cop standing in the room. he talked to me for a short sec then headed out. i found out after the cop had walked right in and asked who was in charge. he freaked out of the girls there and she started crying/laughing... this sure led to stories with the girls and staff laughing me. but im serious i have no idea how this happened.

however, this has happened to me before. when i worked at the "dill-hole" a customer wanted me to call customer service and i had to punch in her credit number that contained the numbers 911. so the phone is ringing and all the sudden on the other end someone says. "911 emergency." i'm stunned. how did that even happen. i explain to the dispatcher it was an accident. and that was that. i then had to explain to the customer who looked at me like i was stupid.

also, this summer while i was working at USU housing i got a call from the United States Secret Service. oh wow.. he needed to contact one of the residents. come to find out this person had written about wanting to hurt a very important political figure.

lastly, i had a detective from the logan police department call me over the summer, he wanted the number for my roommate because she was involved in something. and i have no idea how he got my phone number.

-anyways, those are some stories i wanted to tell and
hopefully i will never have anymore to add-

lol wow. that is quite the list. I called 911 at target once when I was 6 while my mom was at the register. Oh baby was I shocked when they called back! Plus, it was a pay phone and I wanted to see if it would work without putting money in...it does

Wild and crazy. I hate it when there is no logical explanation for stuff like that. It is cool that they ask if you can speak freely and even send someone out.
