You think the guy calling 9-1-1 the other day because McDonald’s didn’t give him the correct amount of change was bad? As this group of videos can attest, people using 9-1-1 for non-emergencies has been a staple of local news and internet hilarity since the beginning of time (yes, literally).
Here are our favorite 9 examples of hilarious 9-1-1 pseudo-emergencies. (Why 9? To honor 9-1-1, of course. Also we’re lazy):
9. Dead From Pot Brownies:
8. Mayo AND Mustard
7. Elephant On The Loose
Simpsons did it!
6. No Lemonade at Burger King
5. Out Of McNuggets
(Sequel: McNugget Woman Defends Her Decision)
4. The Taco Bell Ambulance
(Not technically a 9-1-1 call, but also definitely not an emergency either)
3. Joe McCain Hates Traffic
2. Kid Out Of Control? No Big Deal To This Operator
1. Asking Cop on a Date
30 Rock did it!
