Ever dialed 911?

I've never had to myself, but when I was 19 I was an Asst. Manager at a restaurant, and these kids thought it was funny to call 911 on the payphone by the bathrooms. This was in a corner that was almost impossible for the employees to see unless you were coming out of or going into the bathrooms. Still, the cops showed up and I got my butt chewed for not controlling the use of the phone.

Nah. Not particularly. I'll call in accidents when I come across them no matter how minor if they affect traffic and if the authorities don't know about them already. There's far too much rubbernecking around here. People get big balls and try to get fancy driving around them (like gun it going around the accident) and end up causing another accident.

she was having difficulty breathing and she went into a panic - some sort of inflamation of the airway. by the time the ambulance arrived [phreaking quickly btw] she was improving. it was before the days we had a car so the choice was the bus or 999, i went with the latter.

My family's cat dialed 911 once. No shit. My dad had just woke up, and my mom and I were still asleep. Well, this cop showed up at the door and said someone had dialed 911 from our house. Our kitty, Ben, who was really tiny at the time, was sitting on the shelf right by the phone. The cop suggested that my dad mount the phone on the wall.

I have called 911 a few times the most recent of which was last summer during a really dry streak I watched a street paver vehicle spark horrendously on the side of the road as he kept going obliviously. To my horror the side of the road caught fire and so I called 911 they came out and put out the fire and then tried to give me a ticket for pulling over on a soft shoulder! Pfft morons!

liar!
Just kidding.
The reason that can happen so easily is because it doesn't matter what numbers you dial if 911 is in their you'll get the 911 operater. The reason for this i would imagine is bacause people panic and press the wrong numbers sometimes when dialing 911. I also know from experience. My friend gave me his 'new phone number' once. 225 5911. I dialed it and got the 911 operater. WTF?!! i said, apologizing profusely. Dialed it again.. "911 emergency" SHIT!! Sorry lady. Called my friend back at his old number and he answers the phone, "911 emergency".
Bastard.

On my old cell phone, even with keylock on, you could still dial 911. It happeneds a lot with my friends, they put the phone in their pocket and it'll dial the numbers. It locks out all the numbers except 911 in that sequence. So you could lock the phone and press 8976546576134676517956132461 and it'll dial 911 (it stores the 9, then will wait for a 1, then another 1, no matter what's pressed inbetween the numbers)
can't say i condone screwing with 911 operators but that's hilarious right now

Yup. That was just so funny. I know it was bad, but I couldnt stop myself.
You should've heard the operator....she was like, "OMFG...don't panic, just calmly get some sort of towel to stop the bleeding and pull it out"....and that's when she asked, "How did it get into the paper shredder anyway?"

If you take the phone off the hook and punch in some random numbers, then leave it off the hook, if I remember correctly it'll also be routed to 911, because for all anyone knows you could be a near-lifeless body with three bloody stumps trying to call 911.
