Off her rocker: Woman calls 911 to fetch remote control

Reenactment

You know what it's like: You drop your remote control on the floor, and you're stuck on the couch, unable to reach beyond the TV dinner to grab the stray device. So there you are, suffering through commercials that you simply can't mute.

Definitely an emergency!

So why not call 911, as did a woman in Upper Saucon, Pa., requesting help to pick up her remote control?

The Morning Call reports:

The woman did not tell dispatchers why she couldn't get the remote control herself. She told police she could not get off her recliner and needed help picking up her dropped remote control, according to scanner reports.
