When not to call emergency services

Stupid , but True!
__________________________________________________
A MAN dialled 999 to complain that a prostitute he met outside a hotel was UGLY.
The caller seriously told West Midlands Police that he wanted "to report her for breaching the Sale of Goods Act."
Apparently the woman had made out she was better looking than suggested in an advert she had taken in a Birmingham newspaper.

Police called to investigate The Moon
A man from South Wales thought it wise to call the emergency services when he spotted something odd in the sky.
Phoning 999, he reported a “bright, stationary object” near some mountains close to his home.
Naturally the police were concerned and went to investigate only to find the object was something wasn't as unknown a UFO as first thought.
Control room: 'South Wales Police, what's your emergency?'
Caller: "It's not really. I just need to inform you that across the mountain there's a bright stationary object."
Operator: "Right."
Caller: "If you've got a couple of minutes perhaps you could find out what it is? It's been there at least half an hour and it's still there."
Operator: "It's been there for half an hour. Right. Is it actually on the mountain or in the sky?"
Caller: "It's in the air."
Operator: "I will send someone up there now to check it out."
Caller: "OK."
A police patrol then goes to investigate the strange sighting, with an officer reporting back to the control room.
Operator: "Alpha Zulu 20, this object in the sky, did anyone have a look at it?"
Officer: "Yes, it's the moon. Over."

McDonalds didn’t serve McNuggets
A woman in Florida called the emergency services after she was unable to get chicken McNuggets at her local McDonalds.
Claiming that she wouldn’t have eaten in the restaurant if she had known, Latressa Goodman believed that it was an emergency as the staff refused to give her a refund.
Officers promptly showed up at the fast food outlet and arrested Goodman for misusing the emergency system.

Kidnapped ... by the duvet
One of the worst offenders of emergency services time wasting, a woman onced called reporting that she had been kidnapped.
Complaining that things were dark and she didn’t know where she was, the woman whispered to the operator, fearing she was the victim of an abduction.
As the conversation went on, she realised she was under her duvet the whole time.
Caller: "I can’t see anything, I think I’ve been kidnapped. I’m wearing a blindfold"
Operator: "Are you moving?"
Caller: "No I’m lying still. Wait, I’m trapped."
Operator: "Are you ok? Can you sit up?"
Caller: "Oh, yes, hold on a minute. It’s just my duvet. I woke up with it covering my head and thought someone had done something to me."
totally agree on the prostitute case.
Yeah I read the hooker one, hahahahahahaha.... Calling the police when you are the one doing something illegal. How stupid.
Nex time I'm in the Sheraton I'm calling the police and asking them to bring 100 officers as there are many Chinese breaking the sales of goods act!
Guess even emergencies are matters of perspective!
