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

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!

My fire alarm went off this morning at 7:15, due to an electrical fault. It went off three weeks ago at 5 a.m. I live on the 11th floor, and have to lug a terrified cat down 10 flights of stairs.

You could always use the stairs. I'm sure it would be awesome exercise too.

I was wondering the same thing. Those poor people.

When the elevators stop running they go down to the first floor and the doors open, so no one is trapped!
