17. I used to answer 911 calls, I would bet this is legit

We would frequently get stupid calls like that. I once had a man call and ask me the number of the nearest local gay bar. We went very wrong somewhere with spoonfeeding the "customer is always right" attitude to the public. 911 is for emergencies, which generally means you have a felony just committed, you see a car accident, or a felony is being committed (as far as police are concerned), then you have the medical emergencies. Otherwise, people should not be using 911.
