Scenario: Driving to New Jersey with friends to see a concert.
Location: Grand Central Parkway Westbound
Incident: tons of traffic on the Eastbound side, lots of smoke and then we see an SUV smoking and starting to flame on the shoulder.
Conversation:
Husband 1: Wow, looks like that just happened.
Me: We should call 911.
Husband 1: Nah, somebody else will call.
Husband 2: Ah, forget it, that guy is already toast. Looks like it’s gonna blow.
Other wife: (while dialing 911) Are you guys kidding me?!
Scary part is that the 911 operator was so dimwitted there is a good chance that car had blown before she could understand what between exits 5 and 6 meant, had to take my friend’s cell number (more than once) and then asked if she wanted to be connected to the Fire Dept. By then we were already over the Triboro bridge.
Yikes.
So, here is another poll. Are you the someone else will call guy, the he’s already a goner guy or the 911 chick?
