Even the most goodhearted people have something dark lurking inside of them. We're only a hairs trigger away from completely losing it most of the time, based on the kind of day or week or year we've had. While it's possible to keep it under control most of the time, it's only a matter of what sets us off, pulling the trigger, and causing the worst of us to arise.

Society is an odd conundrum when you attempt to wrap your head around it. This phenomena typically occurs whenever you witness a new trend or share experience and everyone seems to go along with it. Only much later, when you think about it with a smigeon of critical thinking, do you notice something off.
Going against society can be strained, difficult, like pulling back a sticker that's been on way too long, however sometimes it's necessary to get rid of what we probably shouldn't be so welcoming of.

That was so reinforced on TV and movies in the 80s and 90s... and when young guys are coming of age and just getting into dating, it's very confusing... lots of nerves and hormones and things, and even though your senses tell you that you should let it go, you have these voices all around you telling you to "not give up", or that "they're just playing hard to get"... or that "girls like it when you fight for them" etc...</p>Being an emergency dispatcher must lead to experiences no other job could possibly create. Someone calls, panicked, worried, and it's your duty to not only keep the person calm, but retrieve critical information to pass along to the necessary help before they arrive. However, not every call ends well, as evidenced by the stories below.
Wait For Professional Help To Arrive
<p>Harley motorcycle tipped over and the clutch lever went into a 4 year old's eye. Parent was on the line asking what to do. Suddenly, she said, "They're going lift the motorcycle." I emphatically told her to tell them to stop and wait for rescue and EMS. Rescue ended up cutting off the clutch lever and transporting the kid to hospital. She underwent surgery. That was 1982. Just last year, I met the lead rescue officer and the girl herself, now fully grown. They wanted to meet the 911 operator that saved her vision.</p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/kf1e30/911_responders_what_is_a_call_that_you_will_never/gg68mjy?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3">shadow_carlson</a></p>A Members Only Club?
<p>18 year old took mephedrone and attacked his mother with a knife. She locked herself in the bathroom and called 999 (UK here). We turn up and the son is butt @ss naked climbing out the window in the front door which he'd smashed. He gets taken to the ground and cuffed. Me and another manage to crawl through the window without cutting ourselves and find mother inside. Place is covered in blood smeared up the walls and every knife from the kitchen bloodied and discarded round the house.</p>A Chance To Prove Yourself

<p>Working as a deputy sheriff. Got a 911 call to the local park for a dead body. Got there and this lady with a flashlight waved us down. As we approached we yelled out asking if she was the caller. She said yes. We yelled out again where is the body. She said right here, pulled out a gun, and killed herself right in front of us. She wanted to make sure we found her body before the kids showed up the next morning to play in the park.</p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/kf1e30/911_responders_what_is_a_call_that_you_will_never/gg5z1jx?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3">darrevan</a><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/kf1e30/911_responders_what_is_a_call_that_you_will_never/gg5z1jx?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3" target="_blank"></a></p>Unable To Let Go
<p>This isn't mine, but a friend of mine fielded this call. An elderly gentleman called 911 to notify them that his wife had passed in her sleep. Only it was like 7 o'clock at night. Apparently he just couldn't deal with it emotionally, so he got her dressed, took her out to the car, and drove around doing his errands for the day. Watched some TV together. And then after 12 or so hours he finally sort of accepted that she was gone and called 911.</p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/kf1e30/911_responders_what_is_a_call_that_you_will_never/gg628au?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3">Hysterymystery</a></p>A Slow Descent Into Awful
<p>Man called to report a male was breaking into his neighbors vehicle across the street. A few minutes into the call the man came and started to break into the callers vehicle. A few minutes later the man spotted my caller and broke into his house from the window. Spent 10 minutes listening to physical fight when I finally heard the police enter the house and say "there's blood everywhere." Both intruder and caller died. Oh, and another 911 dispatcher had my callers wife and kids on another line who were hiding upstairs and heard everything.</p>A Quiet Handling Of The Truth
<p>Someone called stating they had seen a man on a small island on the lake hours ago but now the man was gone and his boat is still out there. </p><p>An older woman called in a half hour later stating her husband had gone missing, he was last seen taking his boat out on the lake sometime overnight. The increasing tension in her voice as she noticed sheriff's deputies were already dredging the lake was something else. She was calm but clearly actively dealing with the fact her husband was likely dead. They found his body not long after I hung up with her.<br></p><p>Sometimes it's the people screaming that get to you, sometimes its the quiet acceptance of a horrible truth that stays with you longer.</p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/kf1e30/911_responders_what_is_a_call_that_you_will_never/gg66llx?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3">GameDrain</a></p>Muscle car
<p>Memorial Day, 1989. FF/EMT at the time. Call dispatched as a "car into a telephone pole." When we got there, I couldn't believe the carnage. A HS student had been given a muscle car as a birthday present. The police later estimated he was going over 90mph when he hit the pole head-on.</p><p>Patient's right femur was about six inches long, his patella almost touching his pelvis. The entire long bone had compressed like an accordion. He had other multiple injures. Took us two hours to cut him out of the car. The medics were pumping him so full of drugs to maintain his blood pressure they started to openly worry that they might f*ck his kidneys up.</p>Until the end
<p><br>Not a 911 responder, but I will never forget about hearing this one in my area. Student housing in the city's center wasn't up to code, someone left something burning in the clothing store below and a huge fire broke out. One student was still inside and couldn't get out because there was no fire escape. Trapped. He called 911. She stayed with him till the end.</p><p>-<a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/BobRosssChesthair/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">BobRosssChesthair</a></p>AsparagusÂ
<p>I remember odd things people say under stress...</p><p>A girl's arm was ripped to shreds in a dog mauling, she kept using the word "meat". "There's shredded meat everywhere!" And she continued to say it as she found pieces of her arm on the ground. "Is that a piece of my meat?!" and "Huhuhu, omg it's my meat!!"</p><p>Some others...</p><p>"I brought you the asparagus.

<p><br>Little 4-year-old girl got ran over by her grandmother with a lawnmower that was on. It was not the gore or the blood that got me, it was the utter panic of the family, and the way they broke down when the helicopter took off with her inside.</p><p>-<a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/LoanSurvivor19/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">LoanSurvivor19</a></p>Arson
<p>I'm not a first responder anymore but one of my first arson cases was an absolutely hilarious disaster. This husband and wife hated each other but didn't want to get divorced. What they did want was a new house.</p><p>So they poured kerosene on approximately 60 rags and stuffed them under the end table next to the couch. Then placed an <em>empty</em> kerosene lamp on the end table.</p><p>Then they took a 5 gallon gas can full of gas, took the spout off, and placed it in their master bedroom closet. Their completely devoid of all clothing master bedroom closet except for two jackets with tassels with the price tags still on them. Then they opened all their safes and left them empty and open in the middle of the bedroom.</p>Never underestimate how insane some people are, even under the pretenses of civility. A courtroom is no place for the worst secrets you've had to be revealed, but unfortunately that's where a lot of them come out. It's a courtroom official's job, be they a judge or attorney or clerk, to handle them with the utmost care and with a keen eye.
Sometimes, however, they're just too weird not to talk about on the internet.
