‘Um ...Can I order some hot wings?’: Child calls 911 asking dispatchers to order food

ATLANTA (WANF/Gray News) - A child in Georgia called 911 and asked dispatchers if they would order some hot wings.

Atlanta Police said they were all geared up for an emergency when they received an interesting call, according to a Facebook post.

“Um, I’m on the street. I was wondering, can I order me some hot wings,” the child asked.

“Hey, that’s not what 911 does, " the dispatcher responded.

“OK. Have a good day,” the child said.

“You too,” the dispatcher said.

In the post, the department said, “If it’s not an emergency, we’ve got to keep those lines clear for those who really need us.”

“So, next time you’re craving some hot wings, remember: dial up your favorite restaurant, not 911,” the department said.

Police did not provide the age of the caller.
