911 is a joke

Well, it's not supposed to be a joke, but...

According to the Boston Herald, on December 26, 2009, an angry mom called the 911 dispatcher and asked to have police sent to her house to get her son to quit playing video games. She also told police he kept getting up turning on the lights.

In another odd 911 call, a Kerrville, Texas woman reportedly called 911 in December 2009 to complain that her husband refused to eat dinner. The Kerrville authorities have indicated that the same woman called 911 numerous times in the past months to tell them she could not find items of clothing and to complain about random things.

Meanwhile, various useful structures burned down and several kittens remained tragically stuck up in trees.
