History Main / AcquaintedWithEmergencyServices

--->'''Witness:''' The thief's license plate was all "1s" or something.\\

* ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex'': Touma is very well acquainted with the hospital staff in Academy City, given he usually ends up there after fights with espers or magicians. In particular, the "[[NoNameGiven Frog-Faced Doctor]]" gets to know him pretty well. On at least one occasion Touma showed up at the hospital despite not being badly hurt in the incident just to say hi to the staff and brag that he didn't get hurt this time.

* The Monday 7 December 1998 update of Mark Stanley's ''Webcomic/{{Freefall}}'' has Sam Starfall phone emergency services when the flatbed he's driving goes airborne from a rocket motor. Sam says only, "Uhm, hello?" yet the operator instantly recognizes the voice, and asks, "What have you done now, Sam?"

* ''Franchise/HarryPotter'':

* ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'': When the Nova Corps arrests everyone, one of them, Rhomann Dey, pauses as he notices "Star Prince" among them. Presumably, this is due to a single noteworthy incident rather than frequency, but it still counts.

* [[https://xkcd.com/1105/ This]] ''Webcomic/{{xkcd}}'' strip, where someone personalizes his license plate to read [=1I1-III1=], reasoning that he can now get away with any crime because no one will be able to correctly read his plate number. It backfires.

* ''WesternAnimation/CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteers'': In "[[Recap/CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteersS2ETheBigClamUp The Big Clam-Up]]", the Planeteers go to San Francisco to investigate a case of mass poisoning with no apparent cause. After the umpteenth time of someone collapsing in front of them from poisoning, Gi says she'll call the hospital; they know her by this time.

* ''Series/TheOffice'':

* In ''Fanfic/AYoungWomansPoliticalRecord'', [[LightNovel/SagaOfTanyaTheEvil Tanya von Degurechaff]] has melted so many computation orbs in testing, she knows the exact code for the form she needs to fill to claim it was destroyed in non-combat testing and how to fill it by heart.

That's because the character has a reputation of causing trouble too many times to the point that the emergency workers knows who they are and are very familiar with their actions. They will usually have a UnusuallyUninterestingSight or OhNoNotAgain reaction or have a CasualDangerDialog when they see the character again. They might casually greet each other by saying their names as if they're friends or if they're already friends, usually with a FirstNameBasis. It's likely they might already know each other from a previous NoodleIncident they caused. This could also happen in the case of an individual who's a [[{{Hypochondria}} hypochondriac]]. They might also have an InstantEmergencyResponse if it constantly happens in the same area.

* In the early seasons of ''Machinima/RedVsBlueTheRecollection'' Freelance Command had already implemented a key-board shortcut for reporting the [[TeamKiller team kills]] done by Simulation Trooper Michael J. Caboose.

* ''Series/TheOffice'': After Michael and Jan get into a big argument during their dinner party, the neighbors call the police. When they arrive, Dwight tries handling it and the officers tell Dwight they don't want to deal with him right now.

--> '''Titus:''' Officer, I got a call saying my brother was being held here.
--> '''Desk Sergeant:''' Of course sir. Now, what's your brother's name?
--> '''Titus:''' ''[shaking his hand]'' You must be new here.

-->'''Caboose:''' [[{{pun}} Ctrl-F-U]].

** The DiMeos on ''Series/Speechless'' are well known at the local hospital, on a first-name basis with nearly everyone there, and allowed to take shortcuts through it, to the point Jimmy has the same sway in the hospital as a new rich friend of his at a luxury hotel, providing him with a room, the fanciest hospital food, and "entertainment"

* This happens with Cuban immigrants attempting to get to America and Coast Guard crews attempting to stop them. After a few attempts, the immigrants get very good at recognizing individual cutters and [[HelloAgainOfficer know the crew members by name.]] There have been instances of Cubans successfully getting to the US and gaining legal residency under the "Wet Feet, Dry Feet" policy hanging out outside of Coast Guard stations to catch the aforementioned crewmembers leaving base and let them know that they safely made it.

* Overtime, Jake from ''WesternAnimation/MyGympartnersAMonkey'' has become a "regular customer" of Dr. Tamarin.
