He wouldn't, but he should give the caller the benefit of the doubt. Swearing and emergencies go hand in hand, he should know that...look at how he was acting towards the girl, and that was hardly an emergency on his part, and he was already acting irrational. Imagine how HE would act in a real emergency.

He shouldn't expect anything else from the caller - because she is going to be panicking and want to get straight to the point and demand an ambulance - she's not calling to make friends.

She could've just taken a deep breath, slowed down, and not talked like a potty-mouth. Why the hell would you swear at a 911 operator anyways? :rolleyes: Not exactly the fastest way to get help.

It's like the people who act all arrogant and stuff when getting pulled over or passing through customs. Not exactly going to earn you the best treatment.

are u serious? i'd like to see how calm you are when you find ur dad/mom/wife/husband/child on the floor passed out after some sort of surgery...

as for the customs part.... how the fuck is that even related? thats not an emergency situation..
