A woman called 999 to complain "my a** is on fire" - after she ate a chicken korma.
Cambridgeshire Police have warned people to think before dialling 999 and only engage the emergency services when in "genuine" need.
In the recording, which was shared on Twitter , the woman complains she'll be "on the toilet for three hours" before shouting "this is not a prank call".
The handler advises she possibly call the medical team before the call is ended.
Superintendent Mike Branston said: "We need people to think before they call us and only dial 999 in a genuine emergency."
The constabulary's Twitter page posted the recording at 11.06am on Monday (December 23) and asked: "Who knew a korma could cause so much trauma?"
The tweet went on to say: "This hoax caller decided to phone us during one of the busiest weeks of the year to let us know she was 'suffering' after eating a curry.
"Please only dial 999 in genuine emergencies."
Last month a man who repeatedly called the force and belched down the phone line was jailed for 24 weeks.
Earlier this year viewers of BBC series Ambulance were utterly disgusted as a person pretended that her grandfather had been stabbed.
As a result of the call, two air ambulances, four vehicles, one emergency medical dispatcher, one dispatcher and senior clinicians were dispatched for the call.
The caller said: "Two people fighting and got a knife and killed my grandad."
"Someone's killed your grandad with a knife?" the 999 operator asked and they confirmed yes. "How old are you?"
The caller claimed that they were nine years old and that the attacker was still in the house with them.
However, when a paramedic responded, there was no injuries and the occupants of the address were said to be genuinely shocked, while viewers expressed their disgust on Twitter.
On April Fool's Day this year Avon and Somerset Police's call handling team shared a number of prank calls they've received, including one where a boy asked for a condom.
He used up more than a minute of the hard-pressed call handler’s time for the prank and led to calls for parents to educate their children that 999 is only for emergencies.
