OMG how ridiculous! 
I know I shouldn't make fun because it's a waste of emergency services' time but it did make me chuckle.

Oooh tell us some good ones please!!!
There are so many mentally ill left in society without help it is quite possible some of these calls come from people like that. Not saying only the mentally ill would have voted for Tom!

I will have to try and drag some up from the memory but one of my favourites.
Can you send the police please there is a spider in my garden its about 4 inches across and got about 100 legs !!!!. Police arrive to find the 'spider' is an unravelled golf ball (one of those with the elastic bands inside which were the 'legs')
and this one which we got a lot, genuine calls, well meant but the wording always creased us up.
'Send the police there is a man in my back passage'
Can you send the police we are moving and the removal men are here and the neighbours have put a huge banner up outside their house saying 'Goodbye and good riddance' (this is the cleaned up version of the wording on the banner)
I was tempted to call the Police when Austen was dumped out of the competition by the judges in favour of Lisa the dancing elephant, but I managed to resist.
A letter in the BBC Focus magazine this month places the blame on 'Elf and Safety. Normally, Darwin's theory of evolution ensures that the weakest and most stupid of a species will not survive, but with all the protection to people who,as they say, have to be told not to eat oven cleaner, such types pass their genes down to the next generation, ensuring that the line of stupiidty continues.

Sad but true
People's idea of an emergency is indeed quite bizarre. Apparently people phone with all kinds of things, like how long to cook a chicken and advice with recording eastenders. Perhaps they should have a three strikes and out system - three unecessary calls and you don't get to use them anymore...

Quite. Just spotted this in the showbiz forum:
Linda Lusardi calls 999 to get her to the panto on time
When Linda Lusardi realised a traffic jam was going to make her late for her performance as the Wicked Queen in panto, she decided there was only one way the show could go on.
The former topless model dialled 999 and asked if it was possible to use the hard shoulder on the M25 to bypass hundreds of queueing vehicles.
Sadly for her, the reply from police was one familiar to generations of panto fans - Oh no, it isn't.
They said her request was 'absolutely inappropriate' and told her to wait for the traffic to ease, just like every other driver.
The incident happened on Saturday afternoon as the 50-year-old actress was on her way to the Swan Theatre in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, where she is appearing in Snow White.
Miss Lusardi is thought to have been travelling to the theatre with her husband Sam Kane and daughter Lucy, who are also in the show, when they were caught in heavy traffic at junction 16 on the motorway.
A spokesman for Hertfordshire Police said: 'At 1.30pm on Saturday we received a phone call from Linda Lusardi asking if she could have emergency permission to use the hard shoulder as she was late for her pantomime.
'The request was denied. Being late for work is not a reason to call 999 or use emergency measures.
'This was absolutely not appropriate use of the emergency number or of police time.'
I felt like dialling 999 on saturday for an armed police response team to come and shoot me...Why? I was too ill to go to Ian and Camilla's christmas do at Dukinfield, that's why! 
POXY FLU!!!

No, not hard to believe at all. The mind boggles at such stupidity, but then there will always be a few who appear to lack even a smidgen of commonsense and logic.
I must admit, one or two of the posts I've read on here have made me question whether the poster was taking the show just a tad too seriously or was just simply stark raving bonkers.

Same here.
I remember someone complaining to the police about the noise of fireworks at midnight New Years Eve 1999.
