Darwin Olympics: Woman Uses 911 Service for Divorce Advice

There are many, many call topics that easily come to mind on what is NOT OK to call 911 with for help.

Do NOT call 911 to see if they will bring you a cheeseburger from your favorite fast food joint . . . Do NOT call 911 for a ride to a concert . . .

Yes, those are all actual reasons someone has called 911.

Oh yeah, here’s one more . . . Meanwhile in Florida . . .

A woman was busted for seriously misusing 911 — not once, not twice, but MULTIPLE TIMES!

Sylvia Shumaker (69) from Largo was super over being married to her husband and couldn’t stand another moment of their wedded . . . well, “bliss” sure isn’t the right word.

So, Sylvia called 911 to ask them how to get a DIVORCE from her husband!
