Police in Macedonia have had it up to here with people calling 911 for non-emergencies.
"Don't call the police dept - we are busy and we are not information," the Facebook post from the Macedonia Police Department starts.
It goes on the list reasons that do not justify calling 911:
- Your electricity is out.
- You don't have water.
- Your cable is out.
LISTEN to some of the 911 calls in the media player above.
We might add a few outside of Macedonia:
- Your Playstation doesn't work.
- Your wife stole your cocaine.
- Your Chinese food was "not to par."
- You are Olivia Pope.
On Friday, Macedonia Police said 911 dispatchers were inundated with calls about a power outage, while dispatchers were working actual emergencies, including calls for a broken water main.
“We don’t control when the power comes back on. It’s the power company, obviously," Macedonia Police Chief Jon Golden said.
