That's a very common thing actually. Cops hate it, especially in places where they have to come. Cannoli Send a noteboard - 26/11/2018 10:19:56 PM

On our office phones, you must dial '9' to get an outside number and then '1' to indicate you are dialing out of our area code (and maybe even within our area code? Internal calls need neither the '9' to get out nor the first 5 digits of the 10-digit phone number, and I'm never making a local call except internally)

Anyway, he hit the required '9', then '1', but accidentally double-pressed '1' so got connected with emergency services and has had a steady stream of supervisors checking up on him all morning.


911 has been a thing for so long that you would think someone would redo these phone systems.
