Stupid reasons to call 911!

Calling 911 because I have to develop my game for a console that doesn't support the game's engine.

("You mean like when BigRedButton had to put their Cryengine 3 game on the Wii U? Tragically, no emergency services can save you, your game, or your developer. But we are very sorry because we understand your pain.")

(I killed it, but I guess it's time to resurrect it.)

From E-Comm's 2022 list of top 10 nuisance calls:

Calling 911 because...

....you had a broken windshield wiper.

...someone cut in line at the car wash.

...you wanted an update on a nationwide telco outage.

...your phone was stuck in a bench.

...you had a complaint about children drawing with chalk at a playground.

...someone has been using your garbage bin.

...someone isn't picking up after their dog.

...people are playing basketball on a public court at night.

...you have a flat tire.

...the nozzle of the gas station pump isn't working.

(And honorable mention)

...you have a messy roommate.

911: 911 What’s your emergency?

Caller: Yes people are mispronouncing the word gif. They are insisting it is pronounced like the peanut butter Jif.

911: I see sir. Please seek a safe place to shelter. I am dispatching SWAT, National Guard, local police and the Sheriffs department. Rest assured those individuals who are saying “jif” instead of gif (think g from gator or gorilla or garage) will be taken into custody.

Caller: Thank you! Please hurry!

It's actually pronounced "jif" in my country.
