Today, the fire alarm went off in my dorm and I saw and smelled smoke coming under my door. My second story window wouldn't unlock so I broke it open, threw out as many of my belongings as I could, and jumped. Turns out, the smell and noise were from my roomates cheap vacuum cleaner, not a fire. FML

i got in a car accident the night before, which is why i was at home on halloween. i broke my wrist, my big toe, and my brand new 3gs iphone. then, i found out my boyfriend was cheating on me. im back in the hospital, suffering from severe back injuries and a broken heart but guess what?? all that wouldnt fit in my fml post, so i kept it as simple as i could.

Seeing and smelling smoke is not a reason to jump from the second floor. You should remain near the floor with the door closed until the firemen arrive. If they don't arrive, and the fire is in your room, then its okay to jump. Before then, its just stupid

I dont know if the OP is in an apartment complex or a dorm... but in my dorm the fire alarm goes off almost every week because of idiots burning their food on the stove. Point is, get used to false alarms when living in an apartment/dorm. Also, lol @ immediately trying to jump out the window of the 2nd story building- it's probably faster to take the stairs unless theres a raging inferno 6 inches from your door.

I hope to God that you go to Auburn if you're that dumb. If you go to Alabama, get out so that we don't all look this dumb.

Well, at least when there's a REAL fire, you'll be the only one alive after.
