Reasons why I want to be a police dispatcher

[gridlore]

Calls like these:

"My wife's left me with two salmon sandwiches which was left over from last night, and I'm sat in the
chair here and she's there decorating."

"I've lost my glasses"

Yas. I heard some of them on the radio the other day. England has interesting definitions of 'emergency', I figure.

Not just England. While applying for various dispatching jobs I've run across some pretty wild ones in the States.

Last year, when the Giants blew Game 6 of the World Series, the SFPD was flooded with calls demanding the Dusty Baker be arrested for oulling Russ Ortiz from the game.
