That reminds me of my younger days in Champaign-Urbana, which had a hopping BBS scene in the 1980s. I had a FidoNet node and I was going to make a file request from a BBS in Québec. I queued the file request, went to sleep... and was awakened by the sound of cops bashing on my apartment door at about 2 AM.
At the time, E911 wasn't a thing, and the local PD had the number 333-8911. Guess what the local number was for the BBS? I had FUBARed my nodelist processor configuration, and it was stripping off the 1-819- [I think it was 819]. Oooops.
Needless to say, the node didn't get restarted until I fixed the problem.
