Even for the most foolish men, there’s probably a woman out there who’ll be able to tolerate their idiocy.
Think of the guy in Shropshire, who recently dialed 999 because his wife wouldn’t hand over the remote.
‘My wife won’t give me the remote control,’ he told the weary operator.
Unfortunately, jilted couch surfers aren’t the only time wasters the West Mercia Police have to deal with.
The department recently revealed the area’s biggest brain donors, and it makes for a fairly depressing read.
Like the person who requested emergency services because they couldn’t find their wallet.
Or the gallant vigilante who hit 999 when a driver cruised past with tinted windows.
A force spokesperson said: ‘We regularly get calls from people asking to be taken home as they have no money for a taxi.’
Almost half of the 700,000 inquiries the department receive a year are deemed inappropriate.
The 999 operators must be the most tolerant people of all.
