![Whitney Houston -- Prescription Drugs Found ... Possible Drowning [Exclusive Photo Update]](http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/02/12/0211-hero-whitney2-248x127.jpg)
There have been so many injuries on "Dancing with the Stars," the staff has started to take 911 operators for granted. Check out the call a staffer made after Jeffrey Ross' partner poked his eye. Who puts 911 on hold to take another call?!!

Ten to one that LANCE BASS and DERREK HOUGH are becoming an item! You can see the chemistry and Lance said that if he were paired up with a guy he'd pick Derrek because they're the "same size!" Tee hee...I bet they go down on each other....HOT!!! I'd let both of them spit in my mouth before I started working on their asses.

Your aware that you response has nothing to do with the story at hand right? That's like going to someone going to someones funeral and calling for a pizza while everyone else around you is crying and your like shhh I'm trying to order a pizza here.
The point is you should try and not be so shallow and rude like that the lady putting that guy on 911 on hold, because this story is about something serious not about who was hot and not on the show or not.
Anyways what most people don't know or aware that calling 911 is a serious thing, and people have been known to get into legal trouble when misusing the service even when it is a legit one at that, specially putting 911 people on hold I mean knowing theres other people that call and couldn't get through because someone else couldn't stay on the line long enough to help get the person they called 911 in the first place to help!
But that's just my opinion on the matter.

They should fire this dip receptionist or whoever. She wasn't even listening to what the guy was saying, and who puts emergency services on hold?

Lady: Yes, he's conscious....Can you hold?
911: Ma'am? Ma'am?
Lady: OK, thanks for holding.
911: Ma'am, don't put me on hold again, OK?
Lady: OK.
911: So he's conscious?
Lady: Please hold.
LOL. Jeffrey Ross' eyeball could have been squashed under his partner's dancing shoe and this lady'd still be manning the switchboard. She definitely takes her job description seriously.

Wow. I mean, yes it was a true emergency....anything that effects life, limb, or eyesight is considered a legit emergency. But for that woman to put 911 on hold was way over the top. And the way she said it was as if he were one of her clients or something. What a dumb bitch. I know that 911 operators cannot hang up on callers no matter how idiotic they are.....so I could never do that job because my patience is horrible when I am forced to deal with nonchalant morons.

#11 we can hang up on them in cases like that or rude people. We just have to tell people we are going to disconnect for a good enough reason...

oh word. Then that's what's up. If you are a 911 operator, I commend you for what you do! I think it is one of the most overlooked profession out there.
