Flat out, I'm a screamer!

When something bleeds, I faint!

I go all Rambo!

I've raised three or more children, go ahead make my day!

Are you calm and collected? Do you faint, scream, or throw up? What if it was something serious, like a mouse running across the kitchen floor and you're in bare feet?

Never had to deal with any serious things like dealing with a lot of blood.
When I have seen 9-1-1 situations, I tend to be calm.

The only times I can recall freaking out is when I make a hamburger dinner THEN realize I am out of ketchup.

@Punches I have found that 9-1-1 operators sometimes don't understand when someone calls and is all calm. Like they don't take it seriously if there isn't someone screaming in the background!

@GerOttman The times I have had to call it was either something that did not involve me, like if I saw a car accident or if it was an emergency that did not happen suddenly, like someone needing transported to the hospital but they couldn't just get into a car on their own.
