Don't get jiggy with an Apple Watch on and other amusing stories.........hangs head in shame

This morning, DH and I were having a little morning playtime. I sleep with my Apple Watch on for sleep tracking.

If you hold the side button in long enough it calls the emergency services as an SOS. The position I had my hand in must have activated this feature without my knowledge. The dispatcher heard cries of distress.

Multiple calls back to the watch and associated phone eventually got my attention. Cue a long lecture about wasting police time.

At least they didn't send a squad car out!

In today’s edition of things that never happened....

My friend has a rebounder/mini trampoline thing she works out on, and plays a game on her phone at the same time (low impact, she's not leaping all over the place).

She had a new ish phone which was bigger in her hand than her old one, and she was still getting used to it. As she was jumping and clutching the phone she activated the SOS thing. Apparently this alarm went off with a countdown that it was going to call 999 and she panicked and couldn't work out how to stop it. Eventually she did but they called back, and of course she's had to pick it up, out of breath, embarrassed and trying to say everything's fine while sounding like she's just escaped from somebody's basement...

She didn't get a lecture though, she said they were absolutely fine about it and they told her it happens quite a lot!

Couldn’t be that much to brag about if she was completely still for long enough to activate sos.

Mumsnetters hate people who actually have sex OP.

I was actually joking. I knew I should have added a bloody emoji.

Are you unhinged? How was that a ‘tear down’? Seriously? Think it through then explain it.

Whats funny about it though? I usually appreciate a good sense of humour and get why things are amusing. Just don’t know why that was funny. It wasn’t a joke…

ScottishScouser · 06/04/2024 10:48

It was just a funny thing that happened and yes it did happen!

I agree. You would have to press the button long enough for the option to call to come up, and then press the call option. Seems highly unlikely.

I love sex, I just don’t believe obviously made up stories.

Pocketfullofdogtreats · 06/04/2024 10:53

I think it's funny. Unlikely things do happen, you know.

ScottishScouser · 06/04/2024 10:54

My wrist was bent back under my body. I ain’t skinny so that was enough to press it.

I can draw a diagram if it helps

I'm definitely going to need a diagram for that one 🤣

Just spent the last couple of minutes trying to picture shagging with my wrist under me and bent, and I can't. I need comfortable sex now, none of this new fangled stuff for me anymore 🤣
