My sister the 911 op is getting panicked package delivery calls.

Just your friendly reminder that a whole lot of people are far more scared than they are smart. Lots of calls about packages being left on doorsteps (let’s just say considering where they are my response is “of course”). Ordered packages.

Be careful out there, Amazon. 😳🤦🏼?♀️

Not the least bit afraid. Of course, I live in a neighborhood full of Googlers, who've covered the entire block with unobtrusive cameras that upload to the cloud in real time. We haven't had any package thefts in a couple of years now and no car breaking whatsoever.

I'll be sure to tell the delivery person to be safe! Thanks for the reminder!

Random people were calling the fire department about every smudge they found.

My fire fighter friend was on the HazMat team at the time. He would tell people the Anthrax mostly targeted famous figures and the material they saw looked more like baby powder. But if they really wanted to go under quarantine for an extended period of time then he could make it official...oh never mind.

and they have to have guns galore to protect themselves from endless attempts to break in and give them free health care.
