Butt dialing. We’ve all done it. It’s where you sit on your mobile phone or lean just right so that you accidentally dial someone’s number, and hopefully you’re not talking trash about the person on the other end of the line when you inadvertently (and unknowingly) dial them up.
There was no gossip taking place when an Illinois man phoned his wife with his backside, but whatever she heard, it spooked her into calling the police,” the Chicago Tribune reports.
“You know how when you sit on your phone when it’s in your back pocket and it calls the last number that was dialed? His wife was the last number he’d dialed,” said Winnetka police Chief Joseph De Lopez. “The conversation led her to believe there was someone holding him hostage.”
As the story goes, he was listening to music that had “gangster-like” lyrics. The panicked wife then called the police, who ended up sending a SWAT team — automatic weapons and bulletproof vests and all — to the school the husband was supposed to be at.
“He’s embarrassed,” the superintendent said. “Who wouldn’t be? He’s taking it hard that it created such a response.”
And we’re amused.
