Iphone user not the sharpest tool in the shed

81

There are legitimate reasons to call 9-1-1 because they warrant a need for emergency help such as fires, robberies, and car accidents. But your iPhone not working to your liking is not one of them, and it certainly does not warrant five calls to the police. However, that's exactly what Michael Alan Skopec allegedly did to the Kendall County, Illinois, Police Department last week. All five calls to the dispatcher were recorded and released publicly. In the first call, you can hear Skopec slurring his speech as he asks the dispatcher why his phone is not working and says he knows it has something to do with Apple. The dispatcher calmly asks him if he has an emergency requiring an ambulance or some type of assistance, and he replies no. She then directs him to call the manufacturer of the iPhone. In Skopec's second 9-1-1 call, he uses NSFW expletives to describe his frustration with his phone not working properly and says he wants to break his phone. Skopec makes three more 9-1-1 calls, each time getting the same dispatcher who remains calm and at one point attempts to help him troubleshoot by asking if he has the instructions for his iPhone. In her last attempt to help Skopec with his iPhone, the dispatcher suggests he dial "0" to get an operator who may be able to assist him more directly. After his final call, police were dispatched to arrest Skopec and charged him with obstructing or resisting a peace officer, which is a misdemeanor. Reactions to Skopec's calls have tickled people's funny bones on social media, with people saying his calls are "hilarious." But some are going as far as to call him "an idiot."

I feel his pain. Just upgraded to IOS5 and wiped out my entire calendar in the process. Never thought to call 911.
