9-1-1 Operators are NOT Your Friends
By Luis Prada
We’ve all made prank phone calls before. In our youths we’ve all dialed the number of a random Chinese food restaurant and inquired about the operational status of their refrigerators, to which the Chinese person on the other end responds “Fuka yuuu!!” It’s innocent fun that rarely gets you in big trouble. But sometimes, somebody will go beyond the relatively harmless prank phone call by deluding themselves in to thinking that bothering 9-1-1 operators with their meaningless crap is a great idea. And these people don’t do it in a playful, prank-ish kind of way. The people we’re talking about, like 34-year-old Hee Orama from Clarksville, Tennessee, genuinely believe that the police give a shit about their stupid, most likely made up, problems.
Orama is what we like to call a “Crazy asshole” – a crazy asshole that somehow managed to find a mate. Orama’s boyfriend, whose name has not been released, apparently kept messing with Orama’s mind by supposedly telling Orama that he would not marry her. He supposedly did this multiple times. Seeing as crazy assholes have little-to-no friends to call up during times when a shoulder to cry on is needed, Orama deiced to call the local police to complain about her boyfriend. While only a snippet of one of the many, many calls she placed has been released, we’re going to assume that at some point Orama offered the 9-1-1 operator a “night on the town” as to “clear her head” so she could “drown her sorrows in cosmos and dancing in high heels.” “We’re gonna have a girl’s night out, girlfriend!!”
She was promptly arrested for abuse of 9-1-1 after the police, who are obligated to show up to almost every call received, showed up at her door for the 4th non-important time.
One thing to keep in mind about all of this is that all of this happened this week. Last week, Orama was arrested for the exact same thing, but with a slight twist: she couldn’t remember where she parked her car.
Oh, and lastly, “Orama” sounds like “Obama” and that probably spells danger to other crazy assholes out there that are predisposed to think shit like that actually means something.
