This could be any prank or other antic which, in hindsight, was probably not a good idea and would have gotten you in a hell of a lot of trouble had you been caught.
For example, during the summer between 9th and 10th grade, my best friend and I called in a shooting at an apartment complex near our neighborhood from a pay phone at a 7-11 across the street. We told the 911 operator that a man was shooting out of his window at people outside and that someone had already been hit. We walked over to a playground nearby and about 3 minutes later, we heard sirens and saw about 6 police cars and an ambulance show up at the scene. We were so freaked out that we were taken seriously that we ran home via a flood control ditch and stayed indoors for the rest of the day.
When school started, he heard quite a few rumors about the "shooting spree" at the Tramway Village apartments from "witnesses." Pretty funny at the time.
Many years later, a good friend of mine's life was saved by 911 and a LifeFlight helicopter. I'm just really glad some asshole like me wasn't pranking 911 at that time.
So, let's hear 'em.
