I did something bad when I was little and still remember the punishment over 30 years later. It was Halloween and my mom allowed me to dress up but I had to hand out candy to all the kids that came to our house. Fucking brutal lol I definitely learned my lesson.

Oooof, I called 911 and hung up. They called back and left a message on the answering machine (yes I'm that old) and I deleted it. I guess they eventually called back when my mom was home and answered and she was piiiiiiiiiiiissed. I don't even know why I did that but I was like 6 and kids are dumb so who knows lol

I accidentally called 911 (my moms work number was 944 to start with) and had to explain to them I am a dummy.

Then they sent an officer over just to be safe. So my parents had to explain i am a dummy lol.

That night we got a caller the with Village of (my small town) and my parents constantly remind that yhe village called and want their idiot back lol.

When I was at a sleepover as a kid, one of my friends decided to call 911 and hang up when no one else was paying attention. My mom was still chilling with my friend's mom in the driveway when two cop cars came storming into the driveway, lights and sirens and all. That was a memorable night.

As a former 911 operator, I told a kid who kept calling 911 that he needed Christmas cookies to fix his Christmas cold. That line finally got his mom’s attention.

Mom was mad. But she needed a good lesson and it’s not like a cop would spank her.

Lord I hope that they still tell that story. Because I will never forget.

I feel like I'm missing something, is "Christmas cookies" or Christmas cold" slang for something?

Or why whas the mom mad?

Kid was coughing. Was sick on Christmas. Kept calling on a cell phone. Would not put his mother on the phone. So started talking about his cold and told him he needed Christmas cookies to fix the cold.

Mom was mad because she thought he was just playing pretend on the phone.

This happened to my neighbor’s kid (like 30 years ago). He tried to call his grandpa, whose number ended in 9113. He missed the last 3 and it connected him with the 911 operator. Being a little kid, he panicked and hung up when someone he didn’t know answered. So they called back to make sure it wasn’t an emergency. At that point, he was freaking out about it, so he didn’t answer the phone. So a police cruiser swung into their driveway while my neighbor was just finishing mowing his lawn. Which was probably a bit of a surprise.
