Has anyone else been noticing that callers have been infinitely dumber this week or is it just my area that’s some how affected?
In the last hour I have gotten SIX calls that all went roughly the same
Me: City of hell, city hall. how can I help you?
Caller: Uh..yeah, hi. I think there’s a bush fire in behind Rapture off Atlas Rd. There’s a lot of black smoke coming from over there.
Me: Ok, you need to call 911
Caller: Are you sure? It’s not that close…
Me: Yes I’m sure. If there’s a fire, the fire department needs to attend. They get notified by calling 911.
Caller: Oh. Really?
Me: Bush fires move very quickly in windy/dry conditions like what we’ve had for the last few weeks. You NEED to hang up and call 911.
Caller: Ok…
It’s like they think I’m insane for telling them to call emergency services to report an emergency.
I think I’m having a bottle of wine for dinner.
