A few times, but it was never anything really interesting. Usually to report some sort of unsafe obstruction on the highway (there was a really huge object on the interstate in the middle of the night one night that I didn't see until the last minute and thankfully was able to avoid, for example) or something of that like.
I also accidentally called once when I was a kid, and my stupid phone somehow butt-dialed it this summer, and I didn't know about it until I got a call back saying 911 had been called from my number and asking if everything was okay. That really irked me because my phone always has this stupid "accidental touch protection" that pops up ONLY WHEN I'M USING IT, and every time I pull it out of my pocket, there are a million apps and web pages open, a long string of numbers dialed, and/or a few screen shots in my gallery. It also bought something on eBay while in my pocket once, and I have no clue how it was able to do that! If the "accidental touch protection" doesn't even remotely come close to working and only makes using the phone a pain in the ass, what's the point in it even being implemented? I digress.
Have you ever had to dial or call 911 at any point in your life?
