VICTORIA, CANADA’S 911 CALLS THAT SHOULDN’T HAVE BEEN 911 CALLS

From the 911 emergency system in Canadian city of Victoria, here are the Top 10 List of Calls That Should Not Have Been 9-1-1 in 2024:
1. Their neighbor was wearing too much cologne
2. The dry cleaners stained their shirt (* Why would you tell emergency services that the dry cleaner has a stained shirt?)
3. McDonald’s wouldn’t open their doors
4. They wanted directions to a 24/7 Shoppers Drug Mart
5. Complaining the power was out
6. Requesting technical support
7. The box of 38 avocados they purchased were rotten
8. They left their phone in an Uber (* Now how did they call 911 if they left their phone in the Uber?)
9. Requesting help removing a wasp nest (* If you don’t get the 911 call before they remove the wasp nest, you’re surely going to get the 911 call after they remove the wasp nest.)
10. There was a domesticated-looking bunny in the park
* By the way, 911 in Canada is actually 1307, at the current exchange rate.
* Victoria needs to set up a Citizen Complaint Line.
* Then you’d get “Hello, 9-1-1? Nobody at the Citizen Complaint Line has responded to my call about loud birds on my lawn.”
* Save the Canadian 911 calls for the serious stuff, like car accidents or maple syrup spills.
