Where am I?

By rmo1776 - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - United States

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

Lost and found

Today, I was in a rush to meet some friends for brunch, and I arrived first. The restaurant door was locked, so I knocked. A waiter opened the door and stared at me with confusion before saying, “This isn’t the entrance, ma’am.” It wasn’t until I walked around the corner and saw the correct door that I realized I had been standing at the employee entrance the entire time.

next time, read those big, red, glowing words.

don't most fire exits have signs on them and a big red bar?

next time, take a look at the sign that says "emergency exit only. alarm will sound." but at least there wasn't anyone there in the ballroom to evacuate.

Now you have an icebreaker topic for the reception.

so, that sign on the door that reads "emergency exit" didn't catch your eye? or, are you just that retarded? this is definately a YDI

oh god. #17 again? why does that keep happening to me?

How were you the first person there? Generally people helping with the reception will hurry there to make sure things are ready and/or greet, or caterers would also be there if used. Not impossible, just curious.

"not wanting to be the first one there???" wtf are you? 12?
