When someone dials 911, this is most often the threat to life, an emergency or crime, rather than minor everyday frustrations like a spoiled order in a restaurant. 911 operators have extremely hard work; they must quickly gather and prepare the information necessary to provide immediate assistance. It is important to know that calling 911 for an emergency is illegal and could result in a fine or imprisonment. However, there are no rules without exceptions: the following selection contains the most awkward 911 calls in the entire history of the rescue telephone line.
His foot is sticking out of a car window!
The woman called 911 because she saw a gentleman who was driving, putting his foot out the window. She continued to follow him in her car until he stopped. The dispatcher tried to explain to the woman that kicking out the window was not against the law. She hung up and again tried to call 911. Then the woman was warned that if she continued to call, she would receive a fine for abuse of emergency communications.

My conditioner is messing up
A woman called 911 during a small hurricane in Florida. She began to tell the dispatcher that something was wrong with her air conditioner.
