Man dials 999 as wife won't cook dinner
Thu May 1, 5:34 AM ET

LONDON (Reuters) - An angry husband made an emergency call to police -- because his wife refused to cook him his dinner.

The man dialled 999 in a fury, demanding help from officers because his wife was busy decorating, Avon and Somerset police in western England said on Thursday.

The plea was one of a number of genuine calls made by the public to police which the force published on its website to highlight abuse of the emergency number.

"My wife's left me with two salmon sandwiches which was left over from last night, and I'm sat in the chair here and she's out there decorating," the man told the police operator.

"She won't put any food on or anything for anybody."

The operator is then heard interrupting him saying: "I'm sorry but I really can't take this. It's not an emergency because your wife won't give you anything to eat."

In another call, a woman phoned police to say she couldn't find her glasses and needed them to cook her potatoes.

That BITCH!!!!!!

But really, what kind of man can't cook, AT THE VERY LEAST, a simple meal for himself? OPEN A CAN, DUMP IT IN A BOWL and MICROWAVE IT!

God this guy DESERVES to starve! Serves you right for being too dependent on someone else.

If only NYC 911 operators would tell some of these people who call that their problem isnt worthy of a police response.

I saw a show a while ago about stupid 911 calls. Some lady called 911 because she had arthritis and couldn't open a beer bottle. What really pissed me off is that THEY ACTUALLY WENT TO HER HOUSE AND OPENED IT FOR HER!! What the hell are we paying these people for!?

"Operater, please give me the phone number to 911"

It would have been far worse if they went to her house and didn't open it for her.
