Today, I went for a run in a new pair of shoes that left me with huge blisters. As I finished cleaning them up so they could heal, I limped to my bed to take a nap. I was woken by the fire alarm. My building was having a drill and we couldn't use the elevators. I live on the 9th floor. FML
I agree, your life sucks (15744) - you totally deserved it (1663)

That gotta hurts. :(
I never knew trainers could give you blister though. If it's heel or something else I understand.
your apartment has fire drills? I've never heard of that. I've had fire alarm tests in my building but never drills where I had to leave. If I was you I would of just ignored it. They can't force you to if you don't want to

Yeah seriously that's ridiculous, I've never had a fire drill in any building where I ever lived. Even my college dorm doesn't have fire drills.
Same here, I'm also on the 9th floor and the worst we had was when they tested the alarms during the break. I would've tried to ignore the drill, I mean, it's not like they notice if you get out anyway.
He could live in a dorm. We have fire drills at my dorm and if they find out you didn't go outside you can be written up.

You guys are idiots. Why risk it being a real fire and get roasted up on the 9 th floor?

Here's a tip - break in your shoes a bit before you go exercising in them. Your feet and your shoes will take a while to get adjusted. Now if you're just a kid, I can understand. If not, then YDI.

Fuck this, we had one at 2am, I live on the 21st floor. 7th floor? I laugh at the people who ride the elevator to anything under the 10th. Weak
Ah, that must have flat out sucked.
You probably could have just stayed alseep though. It isn't like they'd go and check.

i used to live in a college dorm and during fire drills they actually did open all the doors and check for fire hazards. i know this because during a fire drill my roommate and i got written up for having lights hung up. woops

That really sucks. When I was a freshman, the fire alarm in my dorm went off several times during the night. They weren't allowed to turn it off and we were forced to go out for each one. Public Safety just laughed at us.

for future reference :
running shoes especially
you have to put them on and walk with them for at the very least a week
in order to "break them in" to avoid blisters and watnot
as for the fire drill
you couldve stayed in bed

this is just annoying. do you not have any flip flops or open-back shoe SOMEWHERE in your apartment? cause personally I have about 20 pairs. this is just DUMB. you deserve the unbearable blisters for not having the slightest common sense to run and grab a different pair of shoes.
Aw, man, sounds like west chester u to me. I hate fire drills. they suck, 'specially in the middle of winter. Or a shower.
