It’s always fun listening to someone who appears to be discovering in real time that he’s being a total dipshit. You can almost feel the panic, mental calculations and sense of resignation in your own self as reality sets in.
Coffee mishaps are brutal, but NOT a 911 emergency! Nor were nearly 125,000 misuse calls & 180,000 hang-ups last year. Our 911 Centre takes a call every 45 seconds. Meanwhile, a person with a real emergency may be waiting on the line and unable to get through. #911AwarenessPeel pic.twitter.com/EthsIpgr6s

I’ve listened to this three times and I laugh every time it gets to “I think I’m good.”
The Peel Regional Police’s X (Twitter) account shared a recording on Monday afternoon where the individual who called can be heard talking about his Tim Hortons Order.
“So basically I bought a Iced Capp from Tim Hortons,” said the person. The 911 operator immediately jumped in, questioning whether the call is regarding a life or death emergency.
The caller responds with “Uh…no it’s like, I bought one but then, they are not giving me a replacement.” The operator, very calmly, said that they’ll give the individual the number for the non-emergency line.
“I think I’m good,” said the individual.
