Usual not the target person of the question.

In Australia there was a report done on the types of non emergency calls that operators of the 000 (Au equivalent of 911) get back in the late 1990s to early 2000s

Surprising amount of people wanting to know what time a show starts on the telly and when a particular train will arrive.
