(Newser) Time counts down the top 10 weirdest non-emergency 911 calls. Among the craziest:

  • A cop who stole pot from a drug bust and made brownies. After getting stoned, he called 911 in a panic. "I think we're dead," he told the operator. "Time is going by really really really really slowly." He resigned but wasn't charged.

  • A drunken driver called to say he was lost, then reported hearing a train. The dispatcher convinced him to leave the car just before it got crushed.
  • A dad called 911 when his 28-year-old son refused to clean his room. The son, a member of the local school board, was "crying uncontrollably" when he promised police he'd shape up.
  • A 911 operator refused to send officers to a Burger King after a woman called to complain she wasn't getting "her way." "We're not going to go down there and enforce your Western Bacon Cheeseburger," the operator said.
