Good work. Thanks to all of you !
Two 911 misdials. How do you misdial 911?
Jack, you can misdial 911 quite easily by having pre-programed numbers in your phone and hitting the 911 button accidentally when you’re merely trying to call your brother! (And then the cops have to come and make sure everybody’s OK no matter how much you assure them otherwise…………………) Been there, done that, have the t-shirt! No doubt annoying for the police, assuredly embarrassing for the errant, apologetic speed-dialer.
