Yeah me to have my mam helped out the loft that was in the 80s she got stuck i was to small to help

There was a story I read not long ago where a lady called an ambulance to get her home from work as her feet were killing

It happens a lot here in Iceland.

Not personally, i was always very strongly aware of the seriousness of it because i was often in a fire station when i was little. But there are some corkers. Like the woman who was sold a cold Kebab - they wouldn't give her a refund so she called the police. Some people have called 999 in a right state because their fuel guage was reading very low. Someone else decided it was an emergency situation when their TV wasn't working, five minutes before Eastenders was due to start. And another felt the police should be called because a clown was selling balloons for five pounds each.

Noisy washing machines to pheasants in the garden, there are stupid calls everyday.

A few months ago a guy here in Tulsa called 911 to get the police to check his marijuana because he thought it was fake. It turned out it was high quality marijuana from Colorado.

The strangest 911 call I have received was a woman complaining about her neighbor masturb*ting in her window.

I did this I was in my early teens. Okay, so I hated how my parents controlled hundreds of things for me back then. One day, I had a major fight with them cause I felt they weren't giving me enough space to do what I liked (I think I wanted to get my throat pierced or something, and they weren't allowing)

I was raging so I rang the police. I told them my parents were abusing/hitting me. They began asking me questions and I got scared so I hung up. I didn't think they would take it SO seriously, but they called right back and they were like ''hello, it's the police'' and I hung up again.

At this point, I started freaking out. I was thinking ''what have I done'' I ran to my parents and apologized and told them everything.

10 minutes later, the doorbell rang and two police officers came. I ran and hid in my room, locked the door. My parents had to let them in so they could make sure everything was okay as per protocol. They all had to convince me to come out so the cops could make sure I was okay

My parents told them that I just was throwing tantrums. The cops thought it was pretty funny, but I was embarrassed. Ashamed.

Throat piercing? Never heard of that before.

Oh sh*t, that would have caused so much drama here. lol

This. It kind of scares me

IKR haha it's one of the MOST cringeworthy moments from my teen years. I went through a goth and so-called ''emo'' phase. I can also remember playing my parents up to have the bridge of my nose pierced (I actually went and had it done. Eww) I desperately wanted to be emo. My parents wouldn't let me.

No

Never phoned the police before. If I did it would be something worth phoning them for. You can get locked up for bogus phone calls.

just googled throat piercing

I remember years ago my little brother got his head trapped in a fence was about to call 999 then figured out all we had to do was pull his body through.

The work r*tard called the fire brigade at 4am once because he could not sleep because of bricks missing from his chimney stack. I fu*king hate this guy.

Sounds good, he could do with one.

I went through a goth, once..

Phoning the police to find out if marijuana is legit takes the cake

nice one

Aye I phoned them about rabbits I was raging with him for keeping them from me n phoned the cops, I'm embarrassed saying it but its true
