Fire Drill

So apparently at my office building, when they have a fire drill, you are supposed to wait by the elevators and listen to a lecture about how to exit the building safely. Some of us (I won't name any names...cough *me* cough) thought that the people waiting by the elevators were really dumb, because aren't you supposed to take the stairs in case of a fire?

Upon returning from our iced coffee run (isn't that what fire drills are for?), my office-mates and I were stopped in our tracks by the building super, who wanted to know why we skipped out on mandatory fire safety lessons. My excuse? "Oh, that's what that was. I was wondering why nobody was leaving."

The best part? Some guy walks out the door to one of the other offices, walks halfway to the stairs and goes, "Eh, I don't really actually work here," then turns around and goes back to the room he came from.

Way to go, buddy.
