'He caught a raccoon and didn't know what to do next': 30+ Hilarious reasons people called emergency help lines

I never could've guessed just how many people will call emergency help lines over issues with birds. That was a common theme on this absolutely hilarious question posed by u/Abrera: "9-1-1 Operators of Reddit, what are some of the funniest things someone has called in for?"

These emergency line workers have a serious job. Helping people in their most critical moments is crucial, and someone has to do it. It must be a huge relief to get a few calls like the ones below. If you're helping injured people all day and then a dude calls you because his head is stuck in a cat tree? They must have been laughing their face off. That story gets even funnier, because the guy had his head stuck in a cat tree, with said cat still inside with him! Neither cat nor human was thrilled about this scenario. The human emerged with a few scratches, and presumably learned a lesson about getting too up close and personal with a cat who's just trying to chill.

Check out all of these amazing anecdotes below. It's very funny and it's an interesting look behind the scenes of an emergency help line. Next, this nursing student was trying to learn, but their teacher had a major hangup about their choice of shoes.
