Today, a new fire alarm system is being installed in my building. Not only does the alarm go off incessantly, but the elevators stop running when it happens. I live on the 12th floor. FML
paedra tells us more.

Hey this is my post! They've actually been working on the fire alarm system for a few months, but this is the first time I needed to use the elevators when they were out. I needed to pee really badly so I ran up the stairs (in business attire) only for them to start working as soon as I got to my floor!

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

This sounds like a problem that will most likely exist for years to come with no end in sight. Best course of action: Move to Siberia and adopt a herd of elk.

Call 911 every time the alarms go off... *OH MY GOD, MY BUILDING'S ON FIRE AND WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE... AGAIN* Watch how fast that problem gets fixed!

(assuming so from OPs workplace) it's gross to sweat, especially in a suit or formal clothing

#23, Do you realise how much energy it takes to walk up and down 12 flights of stairs?

as much as I agree with #51, I don't think that will be the best course of action

"Does the alarm going off"

Yes, the correct wording would be go* or is* but who really gives a damn?

The internet has no place for people who can't take a joke sir.

Unfortunately, people are dumb enough to do it like drinking water out of a vodka public or throwing bread at strangers at a club because duck face, getting high/drunk underage and wanting sympathy when they get rejected or possibly arrested.. There is no shortage of stupid.

Invest in some good ropes and keep it by your window. Probably faster going down the 12th floor that way than the elevator anyways.

or even a fire pole.

Or just build a big slide and leave your apartment in style.

Sounds funny, however I wouldn't want to be in your situation. Sounds like a lot of effort but it will keep you fit so you cant complain really
