On a few occasions as a little kid, I would dial 911 and immediately hang up before the first ring, like for the adrenaline rush of "I could get in so much trouble for this"

I called once to report a drunk driver, it sucked bc literally while on the phone w them we passed a cop and the cop didn’t pull out :( I’ve called nonemergency a few times, once to report a barely breathing (but alive) deer in the road, and once because a house on my road was double parked for a party IN THE ROAD and it was impossible to get thru

My mindset is just like for the double parking thing like, what if emergency services needed to get thru there they’d like have to ram through cars literally, I have a tiny car and barely fit. Call me a killjoy but idk. Actual hazards like that I will probably make a nonemergency call
