The dorm I stayed in had the student records call in center on the first floor. They were always quick to evacuate for fire alarms because it meant they didn't have to work and got to have a smoke break. They also always propped the door open so we could get back in without walking halfway around the building, because you know they weren't going to walk farther than needed.

I had one job where we did shelter in place drills, those also had high participation because you didn't have to work :). Also, my desk was in a safety area.

I've got a friend who once used infused an entire bag of dried ghost peppers into a bottle of Everclear, and then he and his (dumbass) friends all took turns taking shots of it. One vomited immediately, and another one just went into some weird zen state, acted stoned and barely spoke until he left. The next day he reported being successfully "cleansed". Yeah.

He used up the rest by adding small amounts to batches of chili.
I did this with vodka and some homegrown datil peppers. Getting the resulting liquid on your skin results in immediate numbness followed by a sensation that feels exactly like a chemical burn and lasts for 48 hours.

It's loving stellar in s bloody Mary though.

Our foundry has about 20 furnaces, each of which has its own slightly different alarm tone, because an operator only really cares about two or three of them at a time, which seems to be effective design for us.

Unfortunately, the same alarm is used for an event that happens every operating cycle to announce that everything is fine, essentially.

I was at a place like that for work. Each machine had a little tune it played at the end of a cycle. Imagine the hell of hearing the first few bars of the star wars theme in chiptune every 10 minutes. There were other songs, but that one was right next to where i worked... for several hours.

A 14-hour retail shift preparing the store for a visit from upper management, with about 6 hours of it at the end centered around the same booth that played the same commercial with the same jingle over and over on loop. Welcome to insanity when it's loving 2am and you're hearing that thing play for the something-thousandth time. It's 4 years later and I can still hear it in the back of my head sometimes.

when i was in the army the fire alarm went off in the barracks so often that people just started sleeping through them. dont cry wolf with fire alarms in alaska. when you have to stand outside in subzero weather burning alive doesn't sound half bad.

also my fire fight, flight, or freeze story was running to my kitchen fire and cursing like a sailor for where the gently caress the fire extinguisher was.

There are photos of a guy walking away from the plane crash carrying his luggage. They said he was in seat 10C and no one from the 11th row back survived. Witnesses also said he got furious when airline staff would give him a refund right then and there while they were assisting with medical treatment of survivors.

I had something similar from chopping a bunch of habaneros for a stir fry and not getting around to washing the chili oil of my hands quickly enough, and I guess it soaked in because no amount of hand washing could clear it up. Took about ~10 hours for the burning sensation to go away. A deeply unpleasant experience.

On a similar topic, more concentrated doses of chilli can apparently temporarily (on the order of weeks to months) shut down pain receptors while leaving other nerves unaffected, as a treatment for chronic pain: https://www.wired.com/story/resiniferatoxin/

Not a bridge but a giant truck went down my very much not a through street today and the roof snapped my cable line which caused it to whip Ghost Ship-style before laying across the street. All my neighbors came out. My doorbell cam caught it before the internet went out and just lol. Xfinity guy told me it happens a couple times a year.

All I can think of when I see this is the time I had a customer sign a "we totally aren't liable for this" form because they loaded two 4x4 8' posts in a vw beetle. It rested in the rear driver window and the front passenger window. Like flush with the passenger Sideview mirror

I once was involved in loading 16 8' 2x4s in to a GTI and it was pretty much the same. The ones in the back were up against the hatch, the ones in the front were just barely clearing the glass, and if we had to stop in a hurry that car would have needed a new windshield.

It worked though.

To be fair there's multiple passengers with items in the video so you can't really blame one individual. It's dumb as gently caress but it's just what people do.

I'd personally be 100% fine with bringing charges against people who slow down evacuations though. Also, for that guy who held the door shut in the orlando night club shooting.
