This is exactly what is says it is. Stupid 911 calls. And man, I cannot believe..well, actually I can. And that's just sad.
Would have rated it higher but it is so short! Did not expect that. I figured I was getting 40 or 50 pages. Alas, it was not to be. Still a whole heck of alot of fun though.
Read it unless you are afraid you w ill lose all hope in humanity if read. And the thing is..you just might. Maybe it's a good thing it's so short. Looking forward, (sort of) to book two.

August 29, 2019I called 911 because I felt ripped off by this book. I paid 99 cents for the book but only got 97 cents worth of laughs

Absolutely Awesome
I've worked as 911 operator for over 27 years. Some of these calls I've had similar, and some are new to me. Loved this book

I should have expect less, after all it does have 'stupid' in the title. And it indeed is.

I saw this book pop up on Amazon last week, and it provided me with fifteen minutes of laughter today. Good book!

***Some stories are not appropriate for young readers***
After reading The 225 Dumbest Lawsuits Ever Filed, I had my hopes up for a somewhat interesting and perhaps informative read.
Unfortunately Stupid 911 Calls missed the mark. The book separates the calls based on what type of emergency the call may be considered to fall under such as firefighter, postal, Homeland Security, etc.
The "stupid" element appears in various formats such as actual stupidity, events that can easily be interpreted another way given to misunderstanding, those thinking outside the box and just plain entitlement.
And in many cases these weren't really as much stories but instead snippets from those calls.
All in all it wasn't really worth reading and I will probably get rid of the book after letting my husband have a chance to read it.

911 funnies
These are the funniest stupid 911 calls ever recorded! You should read them! I’m going to try to get the rest of the series FYI.

Oh my
This was a good quick read and as SPOCK would say interesting. I like these kind of books that are short and sweet.

Not bad for a 2 minute read
This was very short and the calls were absolutely lame. Could have been much better. Very disappointed between the description and actual book

Thank you
No one could be so stupid. If these are true we may need to cull out the morons from the population. Makes for fun reading, though.

Love it. I am a daughter of a paramedic and love when my dad told me about his runs it reminded me of that.

So true
As a former first responder, people think I'm full off it when I say I responded to a stubbed toe, or a washer stuck on a mans genitals but I did on more than one occasions. I would love to read more of these

Stupid but good!
"Stupid 911 Calls" cracked me up! Most of the calls are hilarious, but the book is too short. Takes no more than 30 minutes to read it. 4 stars!
