Social media users too agreed with the police. They slammed the woman and said that she should be billed for wasting time.

Police in the United Kingdom have slammed a woman who called the emergency line to ask the department to get rid of a spider for her.  Please don't ring 999 if there's a spider in your house.This is just one example of an inappropriate call that we've had to our 999 emergency line.On average, we receive 120 calls a day to our 999 line that are not a life or death emergency.One is too many.@WYP_Contactpic.twitter.com/ykzwmRhvGR

Taking to Twitter, West Yorkshire Police posted an audio clip in which the woman could be heard asking the call operator to get someone to remove the “massive” insect out of her house. In the caption, the cops said that this is just one example of an “inappropriate call” that the department received on the 999 emergency line.

In the clip, the woman could be heard saying, “Hiya, you're probably gonna go mad at me right but I've literally tried ringing everyone and you're my last hope. I need someone to come and get this spider out of my house. It's absolutely massive and I'm not even joking.”
