We don't hang up on them.
We establish if they have a real, actual emergency that requires a police, fire or ambulance response.
Inevitably, they don't. Usually, their number is tagged so it shows they're a repeated nuisance caller. This is because oftentimes, they lie. They'll scream "I'm being attacked, my life is being threatened, I need help!" and then you find out that Jacinda is attacking them and threatening their lives by instituting a lockdown. They will keep you on the phone as long as possible to rant their bullshit at you, they don't give a single fuck that they're tying up the line and stopping people who may legitimately be about to die, from reaching help.
Many of them call multiple times per day, EVERY day, because Facebook never ever stops filling their heads with new garbage 24/7. We have nicknames for some of them.
It's not a joke, it's not amusing and it's not overblown. It's a REAL fucking problem, and it's coming from one side of the political divide.
