Wife Won't Cook Dinner, Husband Calls Police

[Guest MrRant]

LONDON (Reuters) - An angry British husband made an emergency call to police -- because his wife refused to cook him his dinner.

 

The man dialed "999" in a fury, demanding help from officers because his wife was busy decorating, Avon and Somerset police in western England said on Thursday.

 

The plea was one of a number of genuine calls made by the public to police which the force published on its Web Site to highlight abuse of the emergency number.

 

"My wife's left me with two salmon sandwiches which was left over from last night, and I'm sat in the chair here and she's out there decorating," the man told the police operator.

 

"She won't put any food on or anything for anybody."

 

The operator is then heard interrupting him saying: "I'm sorry but I really can't take this. It's not an emergency because your wife won't give you anything to eat."

 

Of course... she should know her role.

I surely hope this matter gets taken care of soon. I am just horrified by the whole thing. How's the fella suppose to eat?!

[Guest CED Ordonez]

Go over to their house and pistol-whip them both. Problem solved.

Perhaps he should get off his stupid lazy ass and make something himself.

What's this foolishness you speak of?

[Guest Some Guy]

She should be publically flogged in the town square and then locked in the stocks.

 

Decorating. Eating. A man's gotta eat, a man doesn't care about decorating. The bitch should've cooked.

 

Yeah, but seriously don't they have microwave dinners in England?

My husband would starve if he waited for me to make dinner every night! After working 8 hours, then dealing with a 2 year old, sometimes I am just too tired for dinner. Ah, the microwave, what a fantastic invention!
