The Butt Dial
THE BUTT DIAL
I heard on the news yesterday, that there are over 1 million mis-dials to the 911 emergencey system nationwide per year. 12 percent of those dials are Butt Dials!
If you do not know what a Butt Dial is, it is when you sit on your phone and accidentally depress the 911 button on your phone and dial it.
I got to thinking: What if those Butt Dials are not accidental?
I was thinking that the majority of those 12 percent that Butt Dialed, have Smart Phones. What if the Smart Phone is smart enough to know when a big fat ass American is going to sit on it, and is actually dialing out for help?
