Pocket Dialling Fail: This Is Why You Should Always Make Sure Your Phone Is Locked

A Canadian teeanger had her poor mother scared to death as she accidentally pocket-dialled her during a horror film.

The girl was in the cinema when she unintentionally called her mother, according to CBC News.

Her mother answered the phone to screams and was unaware they were coming from the movie.

She contacted the police straightaway.

The girl was at the cinema with friends when she rang her mum's phone by accident.

Police officer Mike Russell said: "All she could hear on the other end of the line was screaming and yelling. It sounded like a very big struggle going on.

"So we actually had to have our staff try to get a hold of the daughter, and with so many pocket dials and abandoned 911s, it's certainly creating an extra burden for our officers and for our communications centre staff."

The moral of the story? Always lock your phone’s keypad.
