A comprehensive list about how to not use 911...

Top 5 most inappropriate uses for 911, in no particular order.

5. On a dare. If someone dares you to call 911, wait and check to see if you are no longer in junior high. If not, then find new friends - aren't you a little old for pranking?

4. Reporting fake crimes or exaggerating smaller ones. Your cat Fluffy is stuck in a tree! While this is definitely not an ideal situation, try a can of tuna or some treats before declaring an emergency. Fluffy might not be stuck at all, he/she might just be a little lazy, in a bad mood or stubborn.

3. Calling to ask the 911 operator or police officer on a date. While he or she is probably a great catch, there are probably better methods to asking someone on a date.

2. Testing your new cell phone. This is apparently very common during the winter holidays when everyone gets phones as gifts. Try testing with 411 instead!

1. Reporting any and all grievances related to fast food, whether it is with mcdonald's and the lack of nuggets or burger king's lack of lemonade. Sometimes, you order one thing at a restaurant and then get another.

I guess life is not always fair...
