“It’s absolutely massive and I’m not even joking!”

The call operator responds: “Unfortunately the police wouldn’t be able to come and get a spider out of your house.”

West Yorkshire Police have urged people to not ring 999 unless it’s an emergency as they receive ‘120 calls a day to our 999 line that are not a life or death emergency.’

Social media users have slammed the women and agreed that she ‘should be billed for wasting time’.
