My Emergency Contacts Were Notified

 I was in bed, listening to a podcast and the volume was too low.  So I picked up my phone in the dark and just kept pushing the volume botton but there was no change in volume. I gave up, rolled over and tried to fall asleep.

Then there was this voice coming from my phone, "911, what's your emergency"?

I was befuddled. I thought I was dreaming. But I picked up my phone and saw that I was connected to the emergency hotline. I told the woman that I couldn't understand how we became connected.

"So there is no emergency" she asked with a tone of annoyance.

"No, no. I don't know why you called me", I tell her.  She hangs up,

I then get a notice that 911 had been called becasue I activated the call through my repeated clicking of the "on" button on my phone. And just then I realized why the volume had not increased on my phone.

I then received this notice that my emergency contacts had been notified.  It is now 12:30AM and I didnt know what to do.  I didn't want to call them as it was too late in the night. So I texted both of them and set my alarm for 7 AM to call them to let me know that I was OK.

I got my first sister and told her not to worry. Everything was OK. She told me that she was so confused because the emergency notice had my location pinned at the Rita's Water Ice store and she just couldn't understand what kind of emergency I could have had at Rita's in the middle of the night. I tried to explain to her that there is a Rita's right next to my apartment building. And that I was home and safe and not to worry.

Truthfully, she didnt seem too worried.
