Erm, yes we are.  First time, sympathy, second time, well you should have learned your lesson... tenth time, we're into pending legislation making careless 911 calls a civil offense carrying a three digit fine.  Plus we taunt you.  A lot.

Um . . . are we reading the same thread?

I agree that there are measures that I can take.  They are all bad.  I don't want to keep my phone in a sleeve.  It's inconvenient.   It's not how I want to use the phone.  Not to mention that I shouldn't have to spend extra money to fix a design flaw.  

While I understand why it's easy to call 911, it can obviously be too easy.  We've been discussing a particular example of too easy.  I'm sure you can imagine an infinite number of other ways 911 dialing could be made too easy.

So you flat-out don't care about the multiple calls you've made to 911?  You could care less about the wasted time and resources?   Is that what you are saying?

I would have if you intended to do such a thing.  You lost credibility on that point when you said it has happened as many as ten times.

Yeah . . . it's easy to sit in your armchair and call shots, but take reality into consideration for a second.  A #1, I said 6-10 times over a 2 year period.  That means at the very most we're talking about something that has happened 5 times in a year, but maybe it's only happened 3 times in a year.  Also consider that these things don't happen in a vacuum.  I've never been sitting down at a computer when it happens.  It calls when I'm out and about doing things.  911 calls back, but there's not a lot I can do.  I apologize but life continues happening.  I'm not still thinking about it hours later when I get home.  If I said that this was happening 52 times a year, yeah, it's happening once a week.  It's gonna get addressed.  But we're talking about something that rarely affects me.  It happens and then other ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- happens and I forget about it for months at a time until it happens again.  Gimme a break.  Get real.
