  • Oh Lawd Jesus It's A Fire!

    .............

    Well, actually, no, it wasn't.

    It was a group of dumb high school prom-goers going out the wrong damn door.

    I was on a date at the good old Olive Garden this past Saturday night. Right around the end of the meal, all of a sudden, a familiar super annoying noise blasted the whole restaurant, complete with flashing lights.

    God damned fire alarm. Oh geez, do we leave?

    Everyone just kind of sat there, dumbfounded. Normally, people would evacuate, but I guess everyone there, including me, well we just weren't that bright because we kept eating, because servers kept serving and whatnot.

    A few minutes later, it finally stopped. Everyone applauded.

    Our server came to drop off the check. I asked why the hell the alarm went off. She said it wasn't a fire, a group of girls in their prom dresses decided they were going to try to go out the fire exit. You know, those doors on the sides or backs of restaurants that say NOT to exit through unless it's an emergency?

    And because apparently it'd been a while since that happened, no one knew how to shut off the fire alarm, which is why it took so long.

    It's probably a good thing I won't be getting a second date with that guy....or any other, lol. Prom season has just begun, and I don't want two or three or four or however many more Saturday nights of stupid teenagers clogging up restaurants and going out fire exits.

    They probably figured "Hey, if we go out this back door, we won't have to pay."

        In hindsight, that line could win a prize for worst/oddest pickup line ever XD We should start a CS.com pickup lines book....

          So when the dialer in the fire alarm panel sent the fire department racing to the restaurant did the managers have the kids available for the Fire Chief to explain the bill they were going to be receiving for the false alarm?

            I have no idea of the outcome....we paid and left after we found out what the ruckus was about.

              They ought to rig those doors to dump a mess of water on people as soon as they exit through them. That would make em' think twice.

                An excellent idea. After all, since it is a fire door, those using it might be on fire.

                  That should also make it easier for the cops to locate the culprits.

                    They should have dye packs like the fire alarms
