Facebook Went Down, FIVE People Called 911

Facebook Went Down, FIVE People Called 911

Facebook went down for a little bit on Monday, which for most people was a slight inconvenience. Others, however, lost their shit a little.

CBS San Francisco report that shortly after the service stopped working, not one, not two, but FIVE PEOPLE called 911.

“Our lines are [sic] dedicated to handle life and death calls, and even though Facebook is important to a lot of people, it’s not a matter of life and death when it stops working,” a dispatcher told CBS (via Boing Boing). “One caller even called back to tell me I was being rude because I told her it wasn’t a life threatening emergency.”

Hey, morons: emergency lines are for emergencies, not your whining.
