I’m a 999 call operator and there are 12 things I won’t do now… riding motorbikes is just one
A WOMAN who worked as an emergency call dispatcher has revealed the 12 things she’d never do after years in the job.
Macy took to her TikTok page to share a video explaining the “things I will NEVER do after being a 911 dispatcher”.
She began with: “Never trust a stranger coming up to your car.
“Never date a police officer (no offence! Love y’all tho).
“Never ride a motorcycle (especially without a helmet)” and “never keep valuables in my car”.
“Being a dispatcher alter my brain chemistry, always wear a seat belt, have the furnace checked yearly, make sure you have a clear path out of the home,” one person commented on the video.
“Same. 17 years as a dispatcher and I could write a book about things I don’t do anymore,” another added.
Lots also asked why she’d never date a police officer with Macy responding: “One, the stress of the job – I just could never deal with that, I just couldn’t do it.
“And the second reason is that they all sleep with dispatchers – obviously not all but a huge number.”
Macy continued her list in a second video, beginning with “never keep a ladder in your (above ground) pool”, “never go cliff diving” and “never go for a walk at night (especially if your alone).
She also added: “Never date a fireman/EMS (no offence! love y’all tho).”
“I feel like cliff diving should be understood,” one person commented on that clip.
“In college I went to an int at a hosp. for a food liaison,” another wrote.
“While waiting in the hallway a couple EMTs passed by smiled winked – biggest flirts.”
She concluded the series with a third part, in which she said: “Never have road rage”, “never co-sleep with babies”, never wear my AirPods when out on a jog” and “never trust a man (or woman) when they say they won’t hit you again”.
“Why airpods?? Just curiosity,” someone commented on the video.
To which Macy replied: “Any headphones that can block noise because you never know when someone is ready to attack/rob you!”
