Be careful when you call 911... you may just end up on the news... or in someone's blog... Like these 2...This 1st one is very understandable why the gentleman called 911, had he called a tad earlier the police may have seen it 1st hand. HOWEVER... all is not lost on this one... The lady admitted to actually driving AND breastfeeding her baby AND talking on the cell phone. (Wait... how many hands does that lady have?) She now faces possible charges for child endangerment.
Now, the next one... Well, this is one of them you hear & you think... "You can't be serious??!!" Just click on that link (when you get there, click on the picture) & you'll hear what I mean. After your read that short article... click the "see also" link & read that... & Read the "FYI" at the end.
I would like to nominate this lady for the Darwin Award 2009.
Yeah, I know... I know... this maybe old news to a few of you... but there are some I'm sure haven't heard these yet.
Well, that's all for today! Toodles!!
I heard about both of these, I think in the newspaper. I'm glad that first woman is probably going to be up on child endangerment charges! It's called a child car seat, lady!!
ReplyDeleteThe second one is just a bit ridiculous. I mean.. that's not a reason to call 911.
I feel for that first guy. He's trying to do the right thing; she is wrong to put her child in that position, hungry or otherwise. Better a child waits five minutes for a feed, than risk her going through the windscreen!
ReplyDeleteAs for the second woman ... they have posters here in Australia that say "Every call is important, but not every call is an emergency. Only ring 000 in an emergency; for everything else, please ring your local station."
I hadn't heard about either of those.... the first one, all credit to the guy who called them, the second one..... well takes all sorts to make the world go round I guess, but it'd sure be nice if emergency operators were able to give people a short electric shock when they phone up over silly things. Maybe have tasers fitted into every phone, and when they say stoopid stuff the operator just hits a button and zzzzzzzz! ;)
ReplyDeleteWhy aren't you in politics? I mean, seriously? Or at least on an idiot-reduction committee :D
ReplyDeleteI sat in the doctors office an listened to the Mac Donalds one yesterday so stupid to call 911 over that.
ReplyDelete**Shakes head in bemusement at both women**
ReplyDeleteAren't the Darwin Awards only awarded to people who die because of their own stupidity. Neither of these women died, so I'm guessing they don't get it!
BREAST FEEDING while driving?? Now THAT is a NEW one for ME...lol.
ReplyDeleteOooooooooooh, balloons...............*stops being distracted long enough to think for a moment*,
ReplyDeleteErrrm, yes, I heard about the second one this morning, there was a recording of the conversation on the radio, at first I thought I'd dreamt it, but then I heard it again! I can't believe anyone would be that stupid. I do agree with Emma, the taser thingy is a brilliant idea!
As for the first one, haven't heard that here, but fair play to the bloke, he was right to ring up and report that.
*distracted by the baalloonnssssssssss again.....................oooh..................pretty colours..............*
Unfortunately many of my ideas would be very frowned upon.... they include electric shocks for crinklies who buzz every 2 minutes for nothing........
ReplyDeleteOops- this was in reply to tyhe politics thing.... not got used to the reply thing yet!
Both women were stupid!
ReplyDeleteOMG! what where they thinking?? Oh that's right they weren't!! it does take all kinds to make the world go around but geesh why do so many lack the common sense that God gave a billy goat????
ReplyDeleteI think the billy goat got their share ...
ReplyDeletei believe that!!
