Today, a new fire alarm system is being installed in my building. Not only does the alarm go off incessantly, but the elevators stop running when it happens. I live on the 12th floor. FML

Hey this is my post! They've actually been working on the fire alarm system for a few months, but this is the first time I needed to use the elevators when they were out. I needed to pee really badly so I ran up the stairs (in business attire) only for them to start working as soon as I got to my floor!

This sounds like a problem that will most likely exist for years to come with no end in sight. Best course of action: Move to Siberia and adopt a herd of elk.

Call 911 every time the alarms go off... *OH MY GOD, MY BUILDING'S ON FIRE AND WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE... AGAIN* Watch how fast that problem gets fixed!

Well I don't know your situation, but maybe this will help Silver lining: an excuse to use the stairs for good hard exercise! :D I hope the situation is resolved soon

Ever heard of stairs, it's only the 12th floor, how many times do you go up and down in a day? Or just go out for a bit.

At least you don't live on the 22nd floor of a high rise with no power, like me.

Um, how do you not know you're supposed to take the stairs in an emergency?
