This morning, my email inbox and many others' received our annual amusing news release from E-Comm.

It listed the Top 10 reasons not to dial 9-1-1.

Ranking first this year was a complaint that a salon wouldn't change its nail-polish colour.

“Spending time on calls like these takes me away from being available to help someone who is a serious emergency situation,” call-taker Christie Duncan said. “And believe it or not, this isn’t the first time I’ve received a call about the colour of nail polish.”

As amusing as this list is, CKNW Radio fill-in host Mike Smyth pointed out a major shortcoming this morning.

He declared on the air that E-Comm never releases audio versions of its Top 10 list.

Wouldn't it be fun to hear these calls coming into the emergency operators?

Were this to occur, it might embarrass these jackasses into never making calls like these ever again.

Here's the complete list:

1. Complaining a salon wouldn’t change nail polish colour
2. Car refusing to move forward at a gas station pump
3. To report food was inedible and restaurant refusing to provide refund
4. Complaining tenant moved without returning keys
5. Calling because someone parked in their parking spot 
6. Wondering if a washroom closed sign at a popular beach was legitimate 
7. Complaining gas station wouldn’t accept coins for payment
8. Calling to ask if raccoons are dangerous animals
9. Asking if there’s a law preventing washing clothes at 6 a.m.
10. Calling to check the time following the fall time change
