Maybe it's Because I'm a Safety Dweeb?
I'm at a Major hotel in Wilmington,NC. About 30 minutes ago the fire alarms went off, in room flashers and siren things. I get up and walk out with my wallet/phone, and walk outside, I'm on the ground floor. The hallway alarms would wake your dead great,great,great grandfather. I'm standing in the parking lot and one other guy has left the building. Granted its raining.
But the parking lot has like 100 cars. Nobody else left the hotel! The FD cleared the place (false alarm, I guess).
No disrespect to fire victims, but if you can't be bothered to evacuate to a fire alarm, are you really a victim? Like I said, these alarms are unmistakable and would wake the dead. It was only about 6PM, not like it was 3AM and you might be comatose from alcohol.
