Sweet Unholy Mother of Moses (fire alarms)

[wocket]

Ok, so I was asleep by around 12:30, which is good. I have an 8 am bio lab.

And then...
THE FIRE ALARM WENT OFF AT 1 AM. JESUS CORNHOLING CHRIST.
I have never heard such an unholy, high-pitched wail in my LIFE. IT MADE MY EARS VERY UNHAPPY.
And then we had to evacuate. I was one of the smart ones. I grabbed a hoodie. Even so, it was cold as balls out there and I shivered. SHIVERED.
Then again, that's nothing compared to the people who were showering when the alarm went off. :/ And the people who sleep in their underwear and didn't think to grab so much as a pair of sweatpants before running outside.

And then, as I was finally allowed inside (the building has 4 floors, and they let us back in from the top floor down, and I live on the first floor), I heard one of the Desk Receptionists going "cold out there? Wouldn't know. I got to stay in here while they searched the place to find the source of the alarm "

AND THEN I KILLED THEM ALL AND CAUSED AN UNHOLY RAIN OF BLOOD. Except I didn't. But I seriously wanted to, and that has to count for something.

Hahahahaha.....man, I miss those late-night fire alarms. Try getting stuck out in the SNOW, dude. NOT COOL.

But, I'm sure you'll have many more opportunities for that to happen

Ug... every month or so we would have to have a fire drill in the apartments on campus. Sophomore year the one time I had just gotten in the shower, and had one leg shaved. The other leg was all coverd in shaving cream. At first I said 'fuck em' but they knocked on the fucking door. Thankfully I had real clothes in there...


I feel your pain.

And even worse, you coulda been showering WHILE it was snowing outside when it went off! (happened to a couple girls I didn't know but saw while standing outside the dorm in the snow at midnight...). Or it coulda gone off at 4 am (happened to me.)

STILL! It still sucks. Fucking false fire alarms.

[sneaky ninja]

It sucks at the time, but a month down the road, who gives a shit?

[StruckingFuggle]

Minx, no no no no... Let's bury him in an avalanche. I bet he'll think it's cool... and then a yeti will eat him.

/me nods sagely*

I remember getting fire alarms going off all the time at my old uni. They mostly went off at 5am and such.

I liked them. When else would you be smoking outside in your dressing-gown at 4am whilst offering dry quips to half-dressed strangers?
Life's an adventure my friends, and we're all - in so many ways - Barney the dinosaur.

It happened a lot during my master's as we had some sort of pyro on the floor.

One time, I was doing my laundry at 4am (get used to this, there seems to be no other time to do it) and went to bed with my clothes in the dryer, only to be woken at 4:30 by the fire alarm and, passing the laundry room, seeing thick smoke pouring out of it. I thought that my clothes were on fire and I'd be banned from life forever or something, but no, someone had set fire to the plastic trash can in the room and it had melted, with the dryer very efficiently pumping heated toxic smoke particles through my clothes. Took weeks to get that smell out.

I've heard the fire alarms go off here because it was raining. I kid you not.

Good I wish I live on uni campus.
