Has anyone ever pocket called the emergency services?
I did yesterday and it couldn't have happened at a worse time. I realised I had when I got a voicemail from Cheshire police saying they had an abandoned 999 call and they could hear me shouting for help. They were going to trace my phone but ring back if I could.
"I'm sorry, the reason I was shouting that I needed help was because my daughters' pet gecko decided to jump from her hands, run under the sofa and climb up inside. What's a Leopard Gecko? It's a commonly kept reptile with spots that give it its name. How do you spell gecko? That would be g-e-c-k-o. Why was there a child crying in the background? That would be my daughter who thought she was responsible for losing her pet forever."
Possibly the most awkward phone call I've ever been a part of. I'm pretty sure we'll be getting a visit from social services soon 🤦🏻♂️ Anyone top that?
(The gecko was safely recovered and returned to his tank).
