It's not a prank, bro!

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2010 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I was at volleyball tryouts when I accidentally spiked the ball into the fire alarm. The fire fighters did not look happy when they found out what had happened. So much for being on the team. FML

That's bullshit. Why weren't the fire alarms wrapped in cages? Must be one ghetto school.

So I guess you were aimimg at the wall, 20ft away from the court.. Just saying..

So what if you hit it? Accidents happen... I'm sure if you were a good player you would've made the team regardless of this one incidence... Why have this stupid thing posted when it doesn't matter whatsoever? If not making a high school team or even a college team for that matter means that you would consider your life ruined, then I feel deeply remorseful for you.

#2, most people need to know how to spike to be on their school's volleyball team.

if u can hit something that's 20 ft away, shouldn't u make the team?

if they don't know how to control their own spike, then no

Yeah, but it's fake: they're not supposed to have fire alarms in that part of gyms- but like in the Coach's room.

every school i've been to has had cages around the fire alarms in the gym. for this exact reason.

I know what your saying you must pull the cage thing so that the fire alarm could go off I guess there school sucks.

What the cage is, it's a cage around it so nothing can hit the fire alarm setting it off, with a hole in the middle big enough for your hand to go through and pull it, sometimes instead of a cage it's a glass box you lift up then pull the fire alarm

Uuuuh I don't think that's how fire alarms work... You usually have to pull down a lever.

In some pull stations the mechanics inside are such that an impact can actuate it. As someone said, they should definitely be in an enclosure.

That's why in a gymnasium, there should be some measure of prevention. e.g. A plastic cover that can be lifted up on hinges, and is not prone to breakage.

You are not Donald Trump and OP is not fired from anything.

I did not say anything in my profile or that 2 but technically 3 word sentence about being someone named Donald Trump. It's Arsonnist. And yes, I fired op.

this doesn't make sense because of reasons #3 and #4 and how is this an fml moment?

well you don't deserve to be on the team if your aim is that bad anyway. it has nothing to do with the fire alarm, bottom line, you suck

That's the one. How the hell do you miss the floor on a spike? Practice and try out again next year when you maybe have some coordination.

Obviously you aren't going to be on the team. You suck.

Usually when you spike the ball it's supposed to go down. The last part seems kind of dumb unless it was the firefighters who didn't let you on their team.

Actually, I forgot these were tryouts. Well my first arguement stands.
