Not really fair. More accurate would be...

*phones 999*
"Hello emergency services?"
"Hello I'd like to speak to the police please."
"Hold on..."
*connects*
"Hello police?"
"Yes I've been burgled."
"Has the burglar left?"
"Yes."
"This is not an emergency, please hang up and dial 101."
"He called me a nigger."
"We're on our way."
