No Emergency

Last night about 9ish I was taking the dogs out to potty. Trying to get them inside making some high pitched ridiculous squeal to make them run in when I hear the doorbell. Now, we never have visitors so you can imagine I was spooked. We can't see who's at the door from inside the house so I ran to get Bo. He says "I heard nothing" so I just let it go. Then, comes the LOUD bang on the front door. Oh shit. Bo definitely heard that one. So, he goes to the front door to be greeted by a Sheriff. What the hell?

Apparently, our home phone had been making silent 911 calls. ??? Interestingly, we don't have a handheld phone hooked to the line and it is just for the Directv. He asks us the typical questions to ensure we didn't call for domestic dispute (Bo better watch out :D ), any kids who could have called, etc...

Weird.

This morning Bo was getting ready for work and I'm still sleeping (day off - wooohooo). Well, 7:30ish Bo comes in the room and says another Sheriff is here. What?! And I have to get up and greet him to ensure I'm not harmed. Sheesh. I looked lovely. They both tell us maybe the landline got wet and calls got crossed.

Since the pups got up at 7:30 this morning and haven't slept, I spent the morning informing AT&T I do not like to be thought of as a house that cries wolf making the Sheriff's come and they need to get their shit together. Then I canceled our service. Hopefully, we haven't been 911 blacklisted. Fun.
