Somerset Teenager Rings 999 For A Lift To School After Missing The Bus

I heard some funny ones on the radio the other week...


One was a woman who rang the police to report that a cat was following her down the road and hissing at her!!!

I don't think the police should be retweeting stuff like that, and the call operator shouldn't have tweeted it in the first place? Can't people do silly things without having it broadcast all over the internet now?

Here's some...



1. A woman calling to say she had bought a cold kebab and the shop would not replace it

2. Callers who missed their alarm and were going to be late for a flight wanting officers to take them to the airport.

3. A woman who had seen a clown in London selling balloons for £5 each, which was much more than other clowns were charging.

4. Callers in distress because their low-fuel indicator light had come on.

5. A man calling to say his 50p coin was stuck in a washing machine at his local launderette and he wanted police to retrieve it.

6. A man who did not have change for a parking machine claiming staff at a car park had kidnapped him because they were refusing to let him out for free.

7. A caller who dialled 999 at 4am on a Saturday morning and asked: "Where is the best place to get a bacon sandwich right now?"

8. A man who called 999 as he was advised to call 111 but did not know the number.

9. A woman who wanted police to deal with a couple of noisy foxes outside her home as they were preventing her from sleeping.

10. A woman who dialled 999 to say there were men in her house trying to take her away. The men in question were police officers who had come to arrest her.



8 is my favourite!

That may well have been me. Cats do hiss at me.
