I have a new one now. It happened at work today.

We have some really awful and scummy people who live above the restaurant I work in. I mean, these people do drugs, drink, and really are not seeking help to get out of the situation. My dad told me it's pretty much a crack house up there. I do not associate with any of these people at all, just to make it clear that I just know they live up there and see some occasionally.

So, sometime between the restaurant closing last night, and me coming in to work this morning, some idiot up there not only pulled the fire alarm to go off, but they physically pulled the whole box off the wall, breaking the alarm system. The main box is downstairs in the restaurant. So, we had the wonderful sound of this alarm box going off, and not being able to do anything about it at all. It took 2 1/2 hours for the alarm system company to come over and fix it. Ridiculous. In the mean time, my boss tried to get it to go off, but instead had the entire system for the whole building go off for a second. Then the police and fire department came for a second time. I'll admit, although I really did worry that something was really wrong when I went in this morning, and the awful noise that is still stuck in my head, it was sort of an amusing situation. I just can't believe someone would be so stupid.
