Today, the fire alarm went off in my dorm. Not only was it 30 degrees outside, but I was in the shower. FML

This old house
Today, the smoke alarm went off while I was in the shower. Fearing a house fire, I jumped out and ran out, wearing just a tiny towel that barely covered my modesty, only to realize that water was coming through the ceiling and on to the smoke alarm, via a leak in the shower tray. FML

Today, the rain was pouring really hard outside. I found this out when it started raining on me at 4 am inside my dorm room. Thanks college. FML

Today, someone tripped the fire alarm at the hotel I'm currently staying at while I was taking a shit. FML

Today, my building's fire alarm went off. Unfortunately, this coincided with sexy time, and the loud alarm made me jumpy, making it extremely difficult to untie my naked boyfriend. FML

Disinformation
Today, there was a fire alarm in my dorm. Just as I was leaving my room, a lady in the hallway told me that it was a drill and they'd be inspecting rooms, so I would need to leave my door unlocked. When I came back, my room was trashed and my laptop, speakers, and jewelry were gone. FML

Damned freshmen
Today, a freshman set off the fire alarm in my dorm at 2 a.m. He tried to microwave Easy Mac without adding water. I had to stand outside for 45 minutes while the firemen moved the noodles to the sink and ran cold water over them. FML

Today, I accidentally bumped into the fire alarm which set off a high pitched buzzing noise that could be heard throughout the entire dorm. It went on for at least two hours and none of the technicians could figure out how to turn it off. All the girls on my floor are mad at me. FML

Weather
Today, I woke up at 3:00 am feeling freezing cold and soaking wet. It turns out that my dad had opened my window when I was sleeping, and rain water had been pouring in on me all night. My hair, face, pillow, blankets, alarm clock, and homework were all soaked as well. FML

Today, I was making dinner when the smoke alarm started going off. I opened all the windows and stood there waving a towel at it like an idiot. Then I realized that the alarm was coming from the apartment next door. FML

Farenheit is stupid... Celsius makes so much more sense

I'm just being a bit pedantic (big shock, I know), but Celcius isn't metric. :)

Lalalady - I stand corrected. I thought that since the centigrade scale is parallel to Kelvin, that it wouldn't be considered metric. I learned something today, and any day you learn something is not a wasted day.

I believe #90 is correct. if I remember correctly Kelvin was the metric unit for temperature. Not Celsius. But I do concede we Americans are just a rebellious bunch for not using the much simpler metric system.

so wait, both Celsius and Kelvin are metric?

I'm going to be the real pedant here and say that the system used worldwide is not called metric, but SI (Système International). And the SI base unit for tempature is K, while °C is an SI derived unit. So you are free to use °C or K with SI.

now that I see all these people saying how this must suck for you, I'm almost sorry I pulled the fire alarm when I heard your water start.
