Today, my co-workers threw me a surprise 30th birthday party. After lighting sparklers on the cake and singing happy birthday, we all enjoyed a few moments of sparkly, happy fun time. Then the building's fire alarm tripped and over 200 people had to be evacuated. FML

It's not really a party until the cops (and firefighters) show up.

You should have made it a wet t-shirt party. Then it would have become a really fun celebration.

Happy birthday OP! I'm curious as to how that would set off the fire alarm, unless there were thirty candle sparklers instead of a single candle sparkler that reads the number thirty. Next time, maybe your coworkers should temporarily turn off the fire alarm after notifying the owner of the building of the plan.

Yes, because they will turn off a crucial safety feature that is placed for the safety of people just for a birthday party for just one person

Is there something wrong with just regular old candles? Always works for us.

well that blowed big time..hey I hope all 200 have celebrated your birthday ..in one way or other...

Happy 30th OP! To be honest I was almost expecting this to end with "but the party wasn't for me" or something along those lines... People on this website tend to experience that a lot

well that's funny though you made people run for their life
