This might be the most mortifying 999 call ever

Oh God.

YESTERDAY, THE RADCLIFFE, Bury Division of Greater Manchester Police tweeted what is arguably the most mortifying emergency call ever.

A woman rang emergency services to say that her mother was dead only for her apparently deceased mother to then wake up…

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

And inform everyone that she was just locked.

Whoops!

Only at Christmas, eh?

Spare a thought for all the people who ‘eye pads’ for Christmas >

This little boy’s insanely flexible neck is freaking the internet out >
