The top 20 pettiest reasons for calling the emergency services
Over on r/AskReddit, a user named u/_Atoms_Apple asked people this question –
‘911 Operators of Reddit, what is the pettiest reason someone has called 911?’
In true Ask Reddit style, the answers didn’t just come from emergency service switchboard operators, but they are all terrible reasons for calling 911. Other emergency numbers are available.
1. Attempted dust-busting

2. Objective achieved

3. Police, fire, ambulance or belly rub patrol?

4. Angry Angry Siblings

5. A rasher decision than normal

6. When you’re on 3% and you’ve got a zinger for Twitter

7. Get stuffed

8. Expensive snacks are criminal, to be fair

9. If only multi-player games existed
