Nope. Was a very recent one where the guy called the police when Home Depot wouldn't refund him for his paint.

You mean you wouldn't have treated that as a Code 3?

Yes, I was enjoying the absurdity, too. Personally, I didn't see a reason to delete the thread, but I've seen threads disintegrate within a matter of minutes.............so something may have happened that we haven't seen.

You could always DM the moderator for an explanation...not sure if you get one though.

If I were the police dispatcher, I would've said "I'm sorry, sir--I can't send a police officer for that. However, I can send a mailman."

If I was the police dispatcher, I'd still be laughing hysterically.

"Attention all units: We have a code red at the Home Depot. Well--technically, it's a code burnt sienna eggshell."

You'd be surprised what the police dispatchers hear on a daily basis. When we used to have a desk officer in there I would help with the call taking. Some of the people calling in were something else. But I never took a call about their paint selection not being what they wanted.
