This was on the website of our local NBC Affiliate here in Los Angeles recently.
Apparently, out of the 1.5 million calls received at the 911 Dispatch Centre in Orange County (Fla.), about 10% are complete and utter nonsense.
KNBC-TV:
Need a Job? Toilet Paper? Don't Call 911
Now here's an interesting topic for study: Just how many of those 150000 hold WDW APs? And what percentage of the WDW APs holder base do they comprise?

Then there was the woman in Dallas who sued the city because she tried to call 9-11 but there was no eleven on her phone dial.

Sure, there are plenty of unnecessary 911 calls...but what about what this operator did?

disney should get a bunch of John Wayne toilet paper just for complainers.
It's rough and it's tough and it don't take no crap off anyone....

I remember when 911 first came out, people were calling to ask where there was an all-night hardware store, a little kid called because his brother wouldn't share his toys, etc.. I understand that the Turkey Hotline gets some bizarre calls from people , like the one guy who called saying he was trying to carve the turkey, but kept hitting a lot of bone. Turns out he had the turkey lying on its breast, and he was trying to carve the back. You'd think with all the pictures of a roast turkey being shown lying on its back, with the breast up, this fool would figure it out. I bet he also couldn't figure out why it wouldn't lay flat on the platter instead of rolling off to the side.

I HATE those defective turkeys!
My favorite was a gal who called 911 because the fast food restaurant wouldn't make her hamburger the way it was "supposed to be"-turns out she wanted a hamburger only another chain served...She was arguing with the 911 operator who kept telling her that the police couldn't enforce her burger!
If I remember right, she was arrested for misuse of the 911 system! :p:

Reminds me of the old Far Side cartoon, where the dude is frustrated because "someone had once again slipped him a spoon with the concave side out." :D:
