Well maybe it was an emergency, maybe he only got sex once a year and that night was THE night.

Just in case you were wondering, the fire department responded, rescued the woman and saved the jacket. Which makes the fire department even dumber than the 911 caller.

I am amazed they successfully managed to dial the phone, never mind who they called. It's a wonder they weren't screaming for help into a box of Tic-Tacs.

No one. It was their own damn problem and up to them to personally solve as adults.
I hope they were at least cited and charged a fee for this frivolous use of emergency services!

Removal of a jacket is not actually a requirement.

To me stories like this one are just emblematic of the growing dependence culture in this country.
For even the most minor problems in life that people encounter in their daily lives they are looking to the government to solve for them.
I can not in my wildest imaginings think that even in a drunken stooper would I dial 911 for a stuck zipper.
Yet people like this fellow call 911 to get his wife out of her jacket. Did it occur to him to take the jacket off over her head and worry about it tomorrow? How about calling some friends for advise? If all else fails cut the zipper down one side and have a seamstress sew in a new more reliable zipper if the jacket is worth repairing.
But no these days we look to government to solve even the most mundane ordinary everyday problem that our grandparents would be ashamed for us to have asked another to fix for us.
We Americans are no longer the proud self-reliant people that our grandparents were. We have become soft, pliable couch potatoes that must ask a government authority to fix a broken zipper.

The bothersome part is that the firemen have so much time on their hands between naps and meals and naps and meals ... that they responded to this moron’s call.
To: SMGFan
In my town if you call Fire, you get police.
The Police then shoot dogs, taser people, throw them in prison.
I thought this was abusive behavior. It may just be designed to limit nuisance calls of this nature.

Dude doesn’t even own a pair of needle-nosed pliers?
On second thought, if he did, he’d probably manage to electrocute himself or somebody else...
When/why did “helpless whiners” become an accurate description of many Americans?

Removal of a jacket is not actually a requirement.Maybe not, but it makes the experience more meaningful.
To: autumnraine
Haha, my first thought was, where are the scissors?

Maybe not, but it makes the experience more meaningful. The post to which I responded didn't seem to call for "meaning."

Seriesly !
Can't be tied up on nuisance calls when there are dogs to shoot, doors to break down, and erstwhile citizens to terrorize !
