911 Calls!

Calling 911 can be stressful. If you're a millenial, it combines your two biggest fears of asking for help from authority figures and talking on the phone. And if you're not a millenial, you're probably calling because you broke your replacement hip or fell off your chair lift or some shit. However, don't worry! The fine folks at BYOB have you covered for every eventuality.

LP0 ON FIRE

when calling 911, be sure to be a little extra adventurous and not be boring on the phone. try exaggerating a bit to entertain the operator. they do this all day, so think of what you can do to keep them on the edge of their seat

Ask the operator if they have an emergency, they'll be much more helpful to you if you show them a common courtesy that hardly anyone else does these days.

Op: Hello, this is 911, what's your emergency?

Me: I'd like to report a murder/suicide.

Op: ... OK, is it a murder or a suicide?

Me: It's both.

Op: I'm going to have to ask you to slow down, ma'am.

Me: First there was a murder, then the guy that did it committed suicide.

Op: You have to call twice for that.

operator: (long pause) Sorry what was the first thing again?

me: My wife is unconscious!

o: No, before that.

me: It's...a car accident. At the intersection of 3rd Street and Vine.

o: Ok, and what did you say happened to your wife?

me: She's unconscious.

o: And your children are what again?

me: It's just one child.

o: (sighs) Ok, hang on. (pause) So it's just one child, and she's not breathing?

me: She's bleeding. She's conscious, but she's in a lot of pain and...

o: Whoa, slow down. (pause) So it's one child, and you said she's bleeding but conscious?

me: Yes!

o: (pause) And this is at 3rd and Line?

me: ...You know what, I'm just going to walk into an ER and tell them what I want.

o: *sighs heavily* are you ok? what's your emergency? *whispers* you do realize I'm at work, right?

Me: hello 911 id like to report a crime

911: hello yes this is 911 what is the crime

Me: I had to pay $5 for a coke at the bar but a can of it only costs $1 at the vending machine across the street and the door person won't let me go and get a can and bring it in unopened they would rather me pay 5 times more for a cup that's roughly two thirds the size of the can, but not only that it is the fountain kind and I suspect it's not only watered down but they also put in enough ice to fill about half the cup so the amount of actual cola is in the cup is roughly equivalent to maybe at most a third of a can of coke - I would measure it out but I lack the proper equipment to accurately measure the amounts as, again, the door person would not let me bring in my backpack where I keep an assortment of tools and devices that allow me to measure things like the volume of actual cola I received in the beverage I paid $5 for at the bar tonight - so assuming that I'm paying for a third of a can of coke for $5 that makes the mark-up close to 15 times more which is in my opinion at least either very criminal in nature or at least very amoral and that I think it should be illegal to overcharge me that much for a cola just because I don't like how alcohol makes me feel and the only reason I'm here is because my roommate was concerned with the fact that I haven't left the house in several weeks and he thought I would enjoy spending some time out of the house which I am not at all I would much prefer to be at home so maybe you should arrest him as well for being very very wrong and putting me in this vulnerable position where I am not literally but very much in the spirit of being robbed by having to pay so much more for so little cola.
