Today, my family and I were checking into Dubai airport. I had already checked in and was waiting with my brother and sister near a pillar for my parents. I leaned on the pillar and hit my elbow on the fire alarm. A bunch of airport officials ran towards me and asked where the fire was. FML

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You should have pointed a direction and see if they ran over to check.

I feel like this FML is missing something. Like, I got to the end then thought "Wait, it's over???"

Their fault if they don't have secure fire alarm buttons, like the ones that are a lever you pull down. You can claim they did not make it noticeable enough so any accident is their responsibility.

#20 he clearly stated that he was in Dubai, in the UAE. It should not surprise you that US laws do not apply in the UAE. Obviously, this isn't as big a deal there as it is here. I hope you weren't carrying any cough syrup. I hear they lock you up for "narcotics trafficking" in the UAE for that.

Dubai is friggin aweesome ! I love it here, !. Its like everything. But seriously, they dont take it that seriously, especially if you are a tourist, they dont wanna drive em away so they take it seriously. I mean whenever there are accidents and it involves locals and tourist people, the locals not always but mostly get the blamee ! Dubai loves moneyy WAY too much so tourists for these people is like a really big deal. That would've been very funny to watchh ! x
