911: Sometimes You Shouldn’t Call

I have a police scanner on in the background when I'm working on the computer and around noon on Sunday heard a call that had me shaking my head. A woman calls 911 and tells them that she wants her mother-in-law removed from her home. The mother-in-law's "crime" you ask? Well, according to her son, who was on a seperate call to 911 from a back bedroom where he was hiding, his wife had been out of town and he didn't know she was returning today when he asked his mom to come over and cut his hair/KerriT, More Main Street. More here.

Question: Are you surprised by some of the calls made to the 911 dispatch center (that you read on Scanner Traffic)?
