… invisible neighbors shooting laser beams at her….
… I am SERIOUSLY impressed with the 911 operators ability to sound perfectly serious as she’s dealing with this caller…I bet she died laughing the second she hung up *L*
As a 9-1-1 operator, this call reminded me of quite a few off my callers. My favorite one is the caller that called 9-1-1 asking to be transferred to President Obama. She seriously thought we had a direct dial line for him! My response, “I’m sorry ma’am, but we only send out the police, fire and/or ambulance; if you want the White House, you’ll have to call 4-1-1.”
This is pretty much par for the course when answering 911. I did it for 14 years so this call seems pretty tame to me. We once had a crazy old lady who called us up EVERY DAY on EVERY SHIFT saying that two guys next door were using a machine to torture a dog which shook her whole house. When she hadn’t called in a day or so we decided to do a welfare check and found that she had suffered a stroke, and she later died in the hospital.
Oh please, you do know this website is about the rantings of crazy persons, right? If someone gets crazier as their age gets older, all the more better. The people who are paranoid AND create their own realities are always the more hilarious.
I agree with you wholeheartedly. When my mom was going through radiation for cancer her painkillers made her a bit unpredictable and pretty mouthy. It was sad and hilarious at the same time.
My mother with dementia would get especially loopy when she’d get sick, like a UTI, and even SHE thought it was funny, when she was more lucid, when we reported to her that she’d reported to us that Indira Ghandi had dropped by for a bit, and also some camels.
My grandmother has alzheimers and every time we go to the really nice cinema about 30 minutes away from my house, she usually thinks it’s the first time she’s been there. The family has a small chuckle each time, while understanding it will eventually worsen. Find happy thins wherever you can.
Instead of taxing everyone to have 911 service can we not just tax the yahoos who abuse it? You between 911 for getting a fast food order wrong and 911 for mystical ‘wazer wifles’(think Elmer Fudd) there is scarcely any time to answer legitimate emergencies.
As a side note, at least her neighbors did not have a Q-Aludium 34 Space Modulator, now THAT would have been serious stuff.
There is a county in California now that is charging people who call 911 and hang up. If a police officer is sent out there and there is no problem, they get a bill for like $250.00.
Calls like this aren’t usually considered an abuse because the caller doesn’t realize that the situation isn’t real. What’s considered an abuse are those parents that give their kids broken cell phones with a good battery in it and then they call 9-1-1 and say things like, “there’s someone that was shot outside my house!” :\ grrrrr.
Not really. It’s really sad when you have to talk a person with severe dementia through the process of opening the door for the officers to get to them.
Poor thing. My grandmother would call and say that there were little men who smoked it her closet and she wanted them arrested. She had parkinson’s disease, and her meds caused schizophenic symptoms. On the up side, I guess we can be thankful that we do not suffer these situations (although who knows how we’ll be when we’re older?) and that we can recognize that they are abnormal. A lot of people have issues.
When I get older I know I’m going to be the dirty old lady with Alzheimer’s. Now, if the people in the old folk’s home don’t laugh at that, they have no sense of humor.
I think what bothers me the most is that some 911-er let this slip into the public stream…. when I die on my toilet, yelling for help with my pants around my ankles, I don’t want to have to worry about whether the tape’s going to play on MSNBC the next day…
OMG you really need to get some sense of humor. This website is dedicated to crazy people and the odd emails and such they create. Hence the name EMAILS FROM CRAZY PEOPLE. If you feel bad about laughing @ crazy people…then why exactly are you looking @ this website? You wouldn’t look at Lolcats if you hated all types of felines cute or otherwise, so hating the humor of crazy people, elderly or not, should keep you away from this website generally, shouldn’t it?
Actually 911 tapes (at least in my State anyway) are not just up for public domain. 911 calls contain personal information which cannot be randomly obtained by the public. I worked at a 911 center, and while we could talk about the calls we got, we could not even name their general location or give any information which may reveal the identity of the caller or concerned parties.
There may be circumstances where people can obtain excerpts of 911 calls however (although I have no idea how, most likely, again in at least my state, they must be subpoenaed by a court). If played in a public setting, all identifying information must be removed.
I’m also surprised at other 911 dispatchers responding and indicating this woman was suffering from Altzheimer’s. Someone suffering from delusions, such as the lazor beams, is more likely contributed by schizophrenia, medication side effects, or something brain related such as an anyeurism or injury of some sort. (also a psych major).

Either that or she just rolled her eyes before dispatching officers to the lady’s house.

I can’t really take pleasure in elderly dementia.
Thank you for stating that. I agree. She’s ill and deserves some sympathy and understanding.
Sounds like she got it. Now we get to laugh at it.

Incidentally, my mother has alzheimers and I don’t care what anyone says. It’s funny. If I didn’t laugh about it, I’d cry and what’s the use in that?

That’s funny. Tell Indira I said hi and give the camels a kiss

sorry to hear that

I bet the “lasers” were Christmas lights.
YEAH! I love laughing at people with mental disabilites or diseases!
Wow. Just wow. Our tax dollars are hard at work.
Shut up, Vanessa. You hear this and you instantly think of taxes? Grow a heart.
Shut up, Sarah. You hear Vanessa and instantly think she doesn’t have a heart? Grow a brain.
Shut up, dstluke. You hear Sarah and instantly think she doesn’t have a brain? Grow a pituitary gland.
Shut up Lexy. You hear dstluke and instantly think he doesn’t have a pituitary gland? Grow a kidney.
Shut up, robbo. You hear Lexy and instantly think she doesn’t have a kidney? Grow a liver.
You want a kidney? I sell you kidney.
200 dolars.
I posted “best thread ever” on a comment thread earlier this week.
Can I have that back?
I’d like to use it here, instead…
Shut up, MeAPerson. Ima let you finish in a moment, but I just wanted to say that Beyonce had the best thread ever…
all of you shut up i just wanted the last word
You didn’t get it.
Neither did you. lol!
Oh, I’m sorry, all in good fun, I assure you.
I wanna hear how this ends now
like this: The End.
Now I want my six months’ back rent, minion of darkness.
Seriously, what the fuck.
I wonder if they have a special 911 office set aside for these kinds of calls……
I want one of those lasers. I got some neighbors that need taking care of.
Yes! Evil neighbors must be destroyed with laser beams that burn holes and inescapable. I have a couple of evils that must be destroyed. LOL!
OOO Senior mental illness ********** hillarious..next week autistic kids…you know its funny…

If you’re dead, are you really going to care?
good point
Well, those tapes are in the public domain. So yes, we will hear you.
Oh, keep your panties on, I’m not riding a high horse or anything. There’s weird crazy and sad crazy. This is just sad crazy.
not sad crazy more like old and dumb
not old and dumb more like lonely and helpless

And here I thought “laser beams hitting my ass” was a civil suit.
IMMA CHARGIN MA LAZOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I mean, technically…. this COULD be somewhat plausible. Maybe she has some angry tweaker geek for a neighbor with a moderately powered laser.

Just giving an fyi.
