Today, I went to court to file a small claim and found myself at the end of a huge line. The moment I got to the front of the line, the fire alarm went off and we all had to leave the building. The moment I got outside, the alarm stopped and everybody rushed back in. I'm at the back of the line. FML

Today, I walked up sixteen flights of stairs to my room to avoid the lift lines. When I was almost at the top, the fire alarm sounded. FML

Awkward

Today, after a fire alarm went off, everyone was going back into the building. I had never gone up the stairs before because I live on the 9th floor. As everybody was going back inside, I followed some guys right into their suite on the 1st floor, thinking it was the way to the stairs. FML

Today, I was dragged to the food store with my mom. While we were shopping, the fire alarm went off. My mom pushed the cart at me, nearly knocking me over, and sprinted for the door. FML

Today, I was in the dressing room of my favorite store. While looking in the mirror at a shirt I really like, the fire alarm went off. In a panic, I ran out of the store like everyone else. The sensor went off on my shirt and I was banned from the store for attempted theft. FML

Today, my smoke alarm went off. In a frenzy, I called 9-1-1 and exited my house. Several minutes later a fire truck showed up. After investigating, one of the firemen informed me I needed to change the batteries in my smoke alarm. FML

Easy mistake

Today, I accidentally left the store with a bag full of groceries without paying. I realized this halfway to my car when an employee chased me down, thinking I was a thief. Turns out, I had spaced out and walked out during a fire alarm drill. FML

Today, while getting a dental filling, the fire alarm sounded. The plaza was evacuated and we had to stand outside in the cold for 2 hours. The anesthetic wore off. FML

Today, I went to a very nice reception at a hotel. I glanced inside the ballroom and saw that no one else was in there and, not wanting to be the first one there, I walked past and into the stairway. Turns out, I had walked into the emergency exit stairs and had to set off the alarm to get out. FML

Today, I was getting a haircut. I had my foils in for about 10 minutes when the fire alarm went off. The building then started to fill with smoke and we evacuated. While outside watching the fire being put out, I forgot about my foils. I now have bright bleached yellow and orange hair. FML

Today, walking by myself, I was caught up in a group of people that got arrested, and we all got fined for creating a public disturbance. When I explained I wasn't with them, the group backed me up. The police thought I was the ringleader, and now I have to go to court. FML

with op being a guy i think the hassle of dressing up as a convincing pregnant woman would take longer than waiting in line.

People would automatically fall back in amazement of the pregnant man waiting in line.

You heard a fire alarm and you actually went outside.... pftt idiot. But seriously FYL OP. Next time risk burning a fiery death and make the claim (: Problem solved

And while you are there, you could sue God over the terrible flammability of the human body, file worker's comp over your terrible burns, notarize your will, and fill out your death certificate while you smolder into a pile of ashes. Problem solved indeed.

Idiot for going outside when a legitimate alarm went off? This isn't HS anymore hun, it's not "cool" to ignore an alarm. Unless dying a fiery death or having severe burns on your body is all the rage nowadays.

Burn the courthouse down. No one would believe the fire alarm a second time. Nah, but seriously that sucks. I hate lines. It probably feels like you're at the DMV.

Go to the bathroom and set off the fire alarm again. Then run to the front of the line and wait on everyone to come back inside. Pretend you're deaf if anyone questions you.

I do hate it when people don't follow proper queuing etiquette. How small was your claim? Is it worth the time and aggravation? If not, just leave. If it is, suck it up and let the thought of your upcoming claim comfort you.
