Who you gonna call? Not this buster.
Some women, however, aren’t so sure that their goofy soulmates are dependable in a crisis.
In a hilarious new TikTok trend, women are taking to the app to expose their partner’s quirks, some expressing disbelief that those men are their emergency contacts.
Ironically called the “my emergency contact” trend, the men in question are often caught behaving in a reckless or endangering way.
In a video with over 69 million views, one woman showed her “emergency contact” using the top of his head to make circles in a wall of snow. Another posted footage of her partner struggling to walk in flippers on the beach.
“Realizing that my emergency contact is the emergency,” a TikTokker named Carmen wrote on a recent video showing her boyfriend being pummeled by an ocean wave when attempting to swim.
“Realizing I changed by emergency contact from the woman who knows everything to this man,” a creator who goes by @britlomb wrote on a viral video of her partner attempting silly dives inside of a pool.
“My emergency contact,” Australian creator Halarni Strathie captioned a viral clip alongside a red heart emoji.
The video showed footage of her partner attempting to climb on top of a pigeon-shaped pool floaty in an attempt to ride on it like a horse — only to quickly fall off of it and go headfirst into the water.
“He’s the emergency,” wrote one viewer.
“Your emergency contact needs an emergency contact,” commented another.
“Girl, you his emergency contact,” quipped someone else.
“No ma’am, he’s just your contact,” joked one user.
Some users said that they refuse to add their spouse as their emergency contact and instead still list their parent as the phone to call in a crisis.
“I love my wife but with her ADHD… She’d call for Uber eats before calling 911,” one person said. “Just call my dad, he answers, then mom can tell them stuff.”
“My sister called me and told me that I’m her emergency contact because ‘you get things done,’” another person wrote. “Her husband said, ‘Yea, you are good under pressure.’”
