The smoke alarm in my building went off at 2am and I just laid in bed with my fingers in my ears.
I literally didn't give a fuck.
It was probably just one of the twats doing some late night cooking in the communal kitchen (or perhaps burning to death in his desperate single man room).
Have any of you characters flicked the Vs to the Grim Reaper recently?

Not CERTAIN but the sample size might be too small.

I was walking my dog last night up the Cathkin Braes and noticed a sign on a single fence over a pathway
i don't use paths, naturally, so i went over to this strange sight. On the otherside was a sign that said
KEEP OUT
EXCLUSION ZONE
WIND TURBINE ERECTION IN PROGRESS
Cathkin Braes by De Rosa is one of my favourite songs.
I'd be dead excited walking your dog up there.
You sound well brave in your story, nice work.
you should have sucked its cock
The fire alarm in our halls of residence in the first year of uni used to get set off every other night pretty much
After the first week or so, nobody used to go out whenever it went off. Some nights it would go off like a dozen times. Most people took the approach of sticking a bit of blue tack in the sounder in their rooms (and removing it when it was room inspection time).
We also had the obligatory talk from the fire brigade which made the direct connection between people setting the fire alarms off and small children burning to death - we were shown a pretty harrowing video from a house fire where some kids had died - it showed them being dragged out and desperate attempts to revive them and all that. Proper grim stuff and had absolutely fuck all to do with students not turning the extractor fan on when they were cooking.
I always liked halls alarms because there'd always be
someone that was drunk (usually the culprit), a couple that had only just hooked up looking sheepish, and an array of charmingly eccentric nightwear.
There was plenty of that for the first few times it went off
But then everyone used to pretty much ignore it after the first couple of weeks as it went off a ridiculous amount.
It wasn't necessarily people pissing about and hitting the alarm - I set it off twice with anti-perspirant and another when using an iron, while all the evidence suggested smoking in the rooms did not trigger it.
I've been known to sleep through smoke alarms
Mad sleeping skills.
