Emergency call handlers were left "in disbelief" when a man dialled 999 because he could not find his trousers.
The man was one of four people who inappropriately rang for an ambulance in the early hours of Saturday, during a busy night for the emergency service.
Another caller rang from Birmingham's Broad Street to say a 32-year-old "couldn't walk from too much dancing".
A third caller, this time from the Low Hill area of Wolverhampton, stated another 32-year-old had a finger injury.
The man was "extremely drunk" and it transpired the injury had been sustained two days earlier, said the ambulance service.
And the final call was from an 18-year-old man who had a toothache.
An ambulance service spokesman said: "At one of the busiest times of year it would have been helpful if these people had first thought about whether dialling 999 was appropriate.
