Food and Drink Have you ever had to call 911? With Poll (sorry no Gaz option) - Page 4

MIAdragon · 02-07-2009, 06:52 PM

So taking the wife to work at 5:30 this morning, a few mins into the drive I glanced in the rear view and thought I saw something. A split second later I realized what it was, a car with no lights on going WAY too fast in my lane. Had I not swerved into the other lane we would have met in my back seat. About ¼ mile down the road the light turns red and the asshat has to lock his brakes to make the stop (As much as I wanted to jump out of the car and choke a bitch I didn’t). The light turned green and the douche just stayed there, now I’m thinking WTF is wrong with this guy then I see him driving in the classis W pattern, yup a drunk mofo. Ive seen people that looked “tipsy” but never as JA as this cat on the road.

I really didn’t know what to do but I didn’t want this JA to kill someone so I called 911. Just dialing it gave me a strange feeling, talking to the operator everything about it, even looking at my phone now seeing 911 is weird. This was the first time I’ve ever had to use 911 and hopefully the last It had me wondering how many of you have had to do it and what was the reason?

Oh, hey. I thought you looked familiar.

I forgot my most danger-defying 911 call. I made a thread when it happened a few years ago, but my wife and I caught a burglar who was attempting to break into houses. We saw him poking around and trailed him as he tried to break into several houses, calling 911 until the police arrived. As soon as they showed up, the guy went into the arrest posture, and it turned out that he'd just been released from prison.

This. Every time we installed or upgraded a telephone system we dialed 911 to test it.

JA = jared allen, or jack ass?

The only time I ever called was when at the intersection of I-35 and SantaFe (135th st) in Olathe. I was headed East on SanteFe and stopped at the light before the bridge at around 4:00 AM.

There was another car coming from the other direction who was stopped at the light. To my surprise, the guy decided to take a right turn and get on the highway... Except that was an OFF RAMP! For a moment, he stopped his car and backed up. The light turned green, but I stayed there for a moment to see this moron straighten his car, put it back in drive and speed away down the off ramp, headed NORTH in the SOUTHBOUND lane.

It was either a drunk or a suicide attempt. I called it into 911 right away.
