Today, I discovered that during fire drills, my school lines everyone up next to some extremely flammable and explosive propane tanks. If we ever have a real fire, we will all die. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, in Chem, I was chosen to hold the fire extinguisher just in case something happened while showing how to blow up a dangerous chemical. My teacher told me to spray if anything got out of control. He lit the fire and I freaked out and sprayed it. The entire wing of my school was evacuted. FML
Today, my chemistry professor made us all leave our classroom mid-lab because the class was complaining of the smell, and he was worried that there was a gas leak from one of the Bunsen burners. There wasn't, but it's nice to know my "silent but deadly" smelled like it might actually kill. FML
Today, a student set me on fire while I was lecturing my class about proper lab safety. FML
Today, there was a gas leak at work. We called the fire department, who advised us to evacuate the building. We called our manager to let her know, and her response was "Oh, don’t do that." My boss would rather let us die of carbon monoxide exposure than lose out on 3 hours of work. FML
Today, there was a fire drill at my school. I was in the bathroom taking a dump, and if that wasn't bad enough, I got suspended for two days for 'improper procedure during a fire drill'. I didn't know you could get suspended for taking a dump. FML
Today, I tripped while rushing to my classes. In a desperate attempt to regain my balance, I grabbed the nearest thing to me. A fire alarm. FML
Today, I smelled gas when entering my apartment. I checked everything and then left to seek help. I was told to call 911, which resulted in two firetrucks and 10+ firefighters, one of which was my high school sweetheart, entering my messy apartment and finding nothing wrong. FML
Today, my house caught fire right before I was supposed to present a school project. My teacher told me to, "just suck it up and do it anyway." FML
Today, my office building had a surprise fire drill. As I rushed to exit, I realized that I’d put on a shirt that was way too tight. It felt like it was practically cutting off my circulation, and I couldn’t breathe too well. I tried to suck in my stomach but almost passed out in the process. I spent the rest of the drill struggling with my shirt while people gave me weird looks. FML
Today, my fire alarm startled me so badly that I shat myself. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Sounds like they planned it all out well then.

Lol. At my school, we go to the back field which is full of dry grass. If there is a fire, the fire will be strongest where we are. Plus we would all be trapped since surrounding us is the school and a big fence.

Lol 8 my school is exactly the same :)....

It's a government conspiracy man! They know you know...

Having said that the tanks don't sound like they're particularly safe vessels for holding propane given that they are also "extremely flammable and explosive". :P

This sounds like my old school. The same school where the kids are allowed to have a fire pit now...

Why does a school have propne tanks nvm ones big enough to mow down students Btw if the fire gets to ur line id assume ud leave... Not like propane changes that right? Fire is fire

8, do you go to OceanLake in Lincoln City? O.o Cause that sounds EXACTLY like the Elementary school here. Big field in the back, surrounded by fence. Though a lot of schools might be that way...

Holy hell Gringe, what the **** are you trying to type for us?

DocBastard, we need your idiot to English translator! Or we need to bitch-slap some sense into Gringe, but slapping trolls makes your hand smell funny.
VorpikeII 17
How about we slap Gringe WITH the DocBastard's translator? It'll translate his posts and hopefully beat some English into him.

Sounds like a safe perfectly normal school to me...

When I was in high school, we had a bomb threat. We were all told to go to the football field, where we were supposed to stay until they checked the school. Luckily there wasn't really a bomb, because the football field was checked last, after we'd already been sitting out there for 2 hours. I guess any future bombers of that school know where to put the bomb?

LOL. What kind of ghetto school is this

It could be planned out from the very start you know.

Smokey? What about the propane? Hank Hill is weeping over the misuse of Propane and Propane accessories.

I am studying fire dynamics at university right now and can assure you tanks of propane don't just blow up. You're safe.

@76 Nevermind that not all fires are massive infernos that burn everything in sight. Grease fires in kitchens are not all that rare or exceptionally dangerous to human life, but a big one could force an evacuation and get the fire department called in.

Keep it to yourself. Once they've foun out that you knew their master plan, you'll be asked to go to the guidence counselor for a "private meeting". In which you then will end up in a ditch and the star of those new corny comcast commercials. Don't end up in a corny comcast commercial *EXHALES DEEPLY*

More like boom...
jizzwold 21
More like screams of agony from her fellow students who would be skewered by shrapnel from the explosion and possibly burning to death.
stevenJB 25
I think if they are standing that close you won't hear screams...just the boom and the sound of body parts falling to the ground :D maybe some screams of the ppl who were Lucky enough to be a distance away their screams when they wake up. Oh the beautiful image!
XtraEzeee 8
Well you are supposed to be in a spot where the fire can't reach you, so I wouldn't worry too much.
a_purple_orange 4
You're right, the fire wouldn't be able to reach her. But it would be able to reach the propane tanks!
