"It's not fair!" "You're being mean!" The list of things kids scream at their parents when they don't get their way is endless. The mother of a 10-year-old boy from Brockton, Massachusetts told her son to go to bed Wednesday night. Because there was no school the next day, the boy thought that the 8:00pm bedtime was to early and unfair which prompted him to take matters into his own hands.

I have to admit there have been times I would have loved to have called 911 regarding a screwed up order but never have. A Hartford, Connecticut man did just that.

The dispatcher remains calm and listens to Rother McLennon. After McLennon is done with his rant the dispatcher offers some advice 'dont buy it'.

You can listen to his stupid 911 call after the jump.

Many people have been passing this video around on Facebook, so I wanted to make sure you had a chance to see Bud's Clydesdale-tribute to the victims of the 9/11 tragedy.

Supposedly Anheuser Busch only aired the commercial once, in order to acknowledge and pay tribute to the event, but not profit from it financially. I now understand that CBS aired the commercial during its NFL presentation today, in recognition of the 10-year anniversary of 9/11.

A 44-year-old woman in Florida called 911 at least four times because she was mad about her manicure and ended up going to jail. She was eventually released once she posted bond.

Our holiday party was Saturday and much to my surprise, they found the copy of the 911 call I made when the building was on fire. I couldn’t believe they actually played it, even after a couple of my co-workers told me they wouldn’t do that! I suffered through the call as they played it [...]
