Yesterday at work there was an odd occurrence. The fire alarm went off in the elevators and stairwells but nll it in the offices. This happened about half an hour before most people get into the building. Everything was ok, they are working on the alarm systems and had triggered a false alarm.
The fun part is that I'm a floor warden and it's my responsibility to get everyone out safe. I walked around our office and started making people get their stuff and leave. I am amazed that people will not move when they are told that the building is on fire.
I was told twice "hold on let me finish this email" WTF. My response was fuck that grab your shit and lets go. The last guy that was giving me a hard time his office sits right above where the fire engines were pulling up with lights and sirens, that should have been enough to get him moving.
Everyone got out safe and sound ....eventually.
Friday I'm having a meeting with the head of the office about my actions towards the people who wouldn't move.
