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?

Well . . . considering that I now put my phone in standby mode, rather than locking the keys, I guess my answer to your question should be obvious.  And yeah, standby sucks, but is a helluva lot better than using a sleeve or a holster, I think your characterization is a little unfair.

Rationalization is funny like that, isn't it?   :applaud:

Did he really just say rarely affects me?

Basically it took the 911 dispatcher noticing that your number is tied to 9 false calls and send a unit to your family for you to care about your waste of resources.  You do realize you're flagged as a possible problem now, right, seeing as how someone has been calling 911 from your phone and you keep telling them it's nothing?

Plus I bet they call you a toolbag down at the station.  A really big sweaty one.

pending legislation making careless 911 calls a civil offense carrying a three digit fine.  Plus we taunt you.  A lot.

That's the spirit!  Take care of the problem, one careless Blackberry user at a time.  We'll get those 911 resources back yet!   :cheers:

Either that or a remote self destruct code known to the 911 operator.  "oh, this is a false call?  Sir, please put the phone down on the ground.  Now back off 5 steps.  Thank you."  <boom>

"911, what's your emergency?  Blew his leg off?  Wait, the process is ten steps?!"
