Dial "9" to get an outside line. Go to dial "011" to place an international call but miss the zero or just fat finger and stutter the "1" before the area code on a long distance call. Emergency services answers, the caller panics and hangs up instead of saying "Sorry I miss dialed." Or my old favorite "This is a line test. Where do you show this call originating from?" The police are dispatched. About the hundredth time, fines are threatened...

Or it could just be that the smart people who programmed the PBX made themselves a dial plan problem.

It happens.

Reminds me of the story where a man went to the police every day for over a year and confessed to a unsolved murder, then one day his wife turns up dead and he confesses to killing her, the police do not believe him.

I once had a job where whenever I would call home (which included 911 in the number) the police and fire department showed up. Never figured out why and it never got fixed.
