In the past 24 hours, the fire alarm in my building has gone off not once, not twice, not three times but FOUR times. But of course, they can't be at reasonable times like midday or anything... no they have to be in the middle of the night. Here are mine and my roommates thoughts when we were woken up.
Saturday 4:30AM
What in the world is going on?!?!/
What time is it?
You have got to be kidding me
Maybe I should put on pants...
Where are my shoes? Where are my keys? Why can't I find anything?
Where are the roomies?
They cannot still be sleeping through this..can they?
Nope. Okay were all alive lets go.
Okay, where are the stairs.
Why does this building have so many stairs?
Why is it so early?
Did I put a bra on?....Nope.
Why does this hallway have to be so loud?
I promise I can hear you fire alarm just shhhh
This is Georgia. Why is it so cold?
How is that girl all dressed up? Oh..shes just getting in from downtown.
When was the last time I went downtown?
I can't remember. I am such a grandma.
Oh new siren, that must be the firefighters.
and more...and more...
Do we seriously need 3 firetrucks?
THERE'S A GIRL ON THE GROUND SLEEPING WITH A BLANKET.
Why didn't I bring my blanket so I could do that?
She looks so peaceful...I could be like that.
I really want to just sleep.
Why do I never go to bed at a decent time?
I should really sleep more.
Alright, it's off.
We're good back to bed.
a couple hours later...
You have got to be kidding me.
Not again.
Alright, phone, shoes, keys, pants.
Roomies? check
This is ridiculous.
Why so many stairs?
This hallway has got to be louder now. How does it do that?
It is still cold.
Two firetrucks now, alright.
Yes, Mr. Fireman I am getting annoyed with this thank you for asking.
Okay back to bed for real.
sometime later in the day...
Are you serious?
I am trying to get ready.
This place better be burning down.
Where are my shoes.. oh screw it I don't have time to put them on.
The floor is so cold.
Does this count as leg day now?
I swear this hallway keeps getting louder every time.
Why didn't I put my socks on?
Oh hey dude in the gym. Do you not hear this piercing alarm? No? Alright, don't let a fire stop your workout.
At least it is a little warmer now.
Less people are here...they're probably all out at dinner or something.
One firetruck sweet. They must be getting sick of this too.
Yup just what I thought, no fire....again.
Sunday 3 AM
This is a joke right?
Wait do I smell fire?
Maybe but I'm not risking it.
Okay, you know the drill: shoes, phone, wallet, pants.
I wonder if there is a faster way out of here.
Maybe I can slide down the railing.
Nope.
I swear this hallway just needs to be demolished.
I am going deaf.
This place seriously better be on fire.
How many people are out here? 20? That isn't even all the people on one floor!
Just the police this time, sweet even the firefighters gave up on us.
It's over. I can hear again.
Back to bed.
I swear if this thing goes off one more time I am going to sleep somewhere else.
