I think this meme is about the old story of calling 911 and pretending to order a pizza. This was a viral story almost a decade back and stayed in social media platforms as a real thing. However this widespread social media publicity actually helped a victim. Details are in the previous link. This worked only because the operator was aware about the internet lore and was able to connect it.

In summary don’t do it. Operators will disregard your call.

If you do have to do it, you can hit 1234 or any other 4 digits after the 911 and you will still be connected to emergency services.

Source: accidentally called 911 when trying to make an international call and not understanding when the phone system needed the 9 prefix (only for internal extensions).

I don’t think they’d completely disregard your call. At least in the UK there are procedures to seeing whether or not an emergency call is erroneous or not. In a lot of cases they will end up ringing back before sending someone to check the location if one is called but there is no response on the other end

Iirc they have a script to help try to probe for details in case the call is under duress.

Abusive, yes, but as far as I’m aware not violent. Still fits (calling 911 as per the post), but not for physical abuse.

He has been known to publicly harass and threaten (it’s why he was barred from the Grammy awards), he’s been sued by employees for harassment, intimidation, retaliation,and discrimination, and even failure to pay his employees, and he’s also being sued by his former personal* assistant for sexual harassment, including him masturbating in front of her.

Kanye is 100% an abusive PoS. Just not, as of now, physically abusive afaik.

Edit: Stupid autocorrect typo personally/personal

Edit 2: Some violence

I hadn’t actually heard of any abuse allegations either. I also don’t keep up with celebrity stuff anymore. I just knew that if a fruitcake saw him, it would turn to another fruitcake and say “that guy is nutty”

They’re referring to when someone experiencing domestic abuse calls 999 and pretends to order a pizza, when really that’s a signal to the police that they need help.

Downvoting in general confuses me so often. There are times where a simple stated a fact, not even something controversial, will be downvoted. I’m like, who goes around just downvoting at random? The most recent one I recall is someone saying that everyone comes back to life in fighting games and I pointed out that Kliff from Guilty Gear never came back and I got downvoted for that. Like what??? I was hoping to get some replies and have a decent conversation there, but my comment got hidden due to the downvotes.

It is still called dialing despite no longer being rotary phones, but also, they didn’t end the ability to use rotary phones until like 2005ish. I’ve used one before they ended it and I still have one that I wish I could use! Never know, OP could be like me lol.

Good question, I suppose it varies by company, or maybe country. At any rate I used it in the 90s, so I still would’ve met your telco’s cutoff date! Sounds like you used em too, so evidence that it is possible OP did continues to grow. There’s at least two of us!
