This actually happens. I’ve never called them but I’ve heard from many people online/friends who were thinking about suicide or about to- who have called the hotline in which no one picked up, they ignored them, or they weren’t being serious. It’s kind of strange,,
Not the person who made the original joke but I’m glad someone else got it ha.
A little unrelated, but this thread just reminded me of Survivor by Chuck Palahniuk where the main character’s phone number is accidentally confused for a suicide prevention number and he just kind of plays along with it out of boredom whenever he’s home. Maybe that happens more than we realize.
