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.

Instead of complaining about it on here go tell your teachers or principle. This information could save your life, as well as hundreds of others.

Tell your principal so they can revise your safety plan!

At my school 1. During fire drills we are right by the gas line 2. During a tornado drill we are down the hall (20 feet) from 3 stories of glass windows. See not that bad.

Cheese and rice! Report that stuff! The world needs observant people like you, OP!

Has anyone ever pointed this little fact out?

He's saying that if the fire got close enough to them to blow up the tanks, they'd be getting the **** out of there, with or without the tanks' existence. You don't just sit there when a fire gets within like 10 feet of you.

Maybe u should say something but if there really was a fire I'm pretty sure it would be completely crazy

A fire marshal had to approve your escape route for your school. Im sure it is far enough away from your school, you will be A-Ok!
