9th level magic is the most powerful magic in D&D, and most players will reserve using this magic for key purposes in the story. That being said, sometimes an opportunity presents itself that is too good to pass up
What is the silliest (or most wasteful) thing that you have used a 9th level spell or 9th level spell slot to do?

Never had a ninth-level slot to burn on dumb shit. Can say, however, that if I did have a ninth-level slot and the attendant Wish/True Polymorph? A day would not go by where that spell was not burnt doing something. (The) God(dess) did not invent ninth-level magic for it to be 'reserved for a key moment in the story'. If nothing else, we are eating a Hero's Feast for dinner every friggin' night and the thousand-gold chalice can go duck itself, because Wish says I just get the gorram spell and if I can eat like an actual factual Hero King once a day just because I can? You can bet your bottom biscuit it's happening.
I will leave Clones wherever I happen to be. I will True Polymorph anything and everything into commemorative spoons, just so I can A.) have the best commemorative spoon collection, and B.) snap a spoon to get back whatever it was I need. Spoon Pack of Useful Items: go. I will turn myself into an adult dragon just so I can look at the party's bard and say "So are all the tales about bards and dragons true?", then watch him get all manner of performance anxiety. I will cast Dragon's Breath at ninth level, then challenge the barbarian to a belching contest.
The absolute last thing I'd do would be to work my way up to the point where I possess a ninth-level spell slot that recharges daily, then not cast that ninth-level spell. The only time it gets reserved is if we're actively hunting something powerful enough that I may need to actually be strategic with the durn thing.

I love the idea of just true polymorphing things wherever you go. Personally, I'd save the 9th level spell in case I need it in combat or whatever, but always burn it on something dumb before a long rest.
Well I was playing a DMPC in a campaign, and it wasn't really a 9th level slot, but 9th level mystic arcanum. I had a battle set up with a room that created exact mirrors of whatever was inside. The idea was to have the players just walk around after getting roughed up a bit by themselves. My DMPC's flaw was to always underestimate opponents, even if its technically himself, so he was stubborn to kill it. I then had him cast imprisonment on it, which had it cast imprisonment on my character, and they just stood chained, until I had him dispell it.
I didn't do this myself; a player character in one of my campaigns did it.
This was a wizard who had just reached 17th level and taken Wish. He prepared it the night before an audience with the king who they had just completed a grand quest for )resulting is said level up).
Said wizard, when called forward to recieve his reward from the hand of the king, presented him with a box of halfling, pipre weed cigars of the highest quality. He then proceed to offer the king one of said cigars and light the silly thing by using his new Wish spell to cast Prestidigitation to light it. . .
A true story sad to say, though the King was impressed enough to upgrade the wizards reward to the king's homely daughter's hand in marriage. Said wizard is silly haiding out from the king's bounty hunters. The bounty on his head is the reward he was to be granted by the king. :)

Watch your back, conserve your ammo, and NEVER cut a deal with a dragon!
Did you know that Sleep cast at 9th level lets you roll 21d8? That's an average of 84 hit points to put someone to sleep with, and if you're really lucky up to 168 hp.
I had a Bard who thought that was the funniest way to avoid getting into a discussion/argument/fight without really hurting anyone.

Worst thing? Jump cast as a ninth level spell
D&D is a game for nerds... so I guess I'm one :p
