The strangest call I've ever received was from an Indonesian woman whose nose ring got stuck in a chair and needed to be rescued by the fire department.

The Indonesian woman is now able to breathe freely after firefighters liberated her from the confines of an office chair.

In Bandung City, Indonesia, a young woman accidentally got her nose piercing stuck in the mesh back of an office chair while working, as seen in a video obtained by ViralPress.

Despite their efforts to remove the septum ring from the chair by yanking it, her coworkers were unable to do so and had to call the fire department.

Firefighter Mochamad Alam Priabadi stated that the call wasn't the most unusual one they've received.

Despite their efforts, firefighters were unable to free the woman at the office and had to transport her to the fire station for additional equipment to complete the rescue.

The firefighters joked with the woman about cutting off her nose or needing to use a chainsaw to release her from the chair's grip in an attempt to lighten the mood.

In about five minutes, the mission was accomplished without injury to the woman, after goofing off with heavy-duty tools using a pair of pliers.

"Priabadi stated that they have encountered instances such as freeing a finger from a window latch, removing a stubborn ring from a private area, and assisting a child with a stuck finger in a table. Although it is part of their job, the nose piercing incident was particularly entertaining."
