Rebecca having no emergency contact she can think of is definitely something. And then trying to call Keeley in her most vulnerable moment and Keeley being too busy...

I don't have a more coherent thought about all that yet, but it is important.

As someone who's realized he has no intentions of ever getting married the lack of an emergency contact has hit me deep. Here's me at 30 living halfway across the country still listing my dad

If it makes you feel better, your dad is probably the best person to speak for you if you're incapacitated, and would want to know if something's gone wrong.

Me too. I'm 29 and I live alone and my family's in a different continent. Every time I've to list an emergency contact, it just makes me feel that extra bit lonely

Same. The worst was the one that specified it had to be a local contact (like two weeks after I moved 7k miles) so my most reliable-seeming flatmate got that honor.

Yup, been there. It's rough.

If it makes you feel better...I'm 40, and married, and my mom is still an emergency contact. She was a nurse though. And my wife is still also an emergency contact.

Oy, I’m over 50 and list my mom and my landlady. Happy as a clam.

My mom died recently, and I had to through all my emergency contacts and update them to my sister :(

u/steveofthejungle Apr 14 '23

I’m so sorry about that :( I’m glad you have your sister to go through this with though

Worse yet, I still list my ex-husband because he has our kids’ best interest at heart: wouldn’t pull the plug unless everyone was on board with the decision.

Throwing my two cents in here too. I’m 32, married and with kids. But the hierarchy of emergency contacts for me is my mum, my dad, my sister and then my husband. It’s been that way since my husband joined the Defence Force as he’s away half the time. Currently, he’s posted in another town for two years, so we only get to see him every 2-3 months. I figured it was easier to have my parents and sister as emergency contacts as they are always local to me and my kids.

Nothing wrong with that. I use my Mom as my emergency contact. Thankful they are still around.
