TV fans call 911 after cable outage leaves 'Breaking Bad,' Yankees-Sox fans in the dark

[UrbScotty]

“We got several 911 calls last night from at least three individuals inconvenienced because they lost their Cablevision,” Lt. Jim Perez of the Fairfield Police Department told The Post today.

In one recording, a dispatcher answers “Fairfield 911,” and a woman says, “Hi. I’m ... I’m just trying to figure out what’s going on, we have no TV!’

The annoyed dispatcher interrupts and says “Ma’am, 911 is for a life-threatening emergency” and the woman answers, “I know that. I know that.”

The dispatcher then demands, “Is this a life-threatening emergency?” and the woman replies: “No, we’re just trying to find out what’s going on? Is it a life-threatening time?”

3. A woman in NH was arrested the other day for calling 911 and asking for a PEN!

They showed her on the tellie, and she's 'not quite right'--she calls all the time.
