Or for an apartment building when the fire alarm goes off at 12:30 AM.
It's a place full of tricksters and dumbasses who like to smoke in the hallway, so unless there's smoke or funny smells, we all just stay in. Call the fire department of course, in case of actual fire and/or to get them out here quickly to shut it off.
Elsewise, pull out the cat carriers, grimly anticipate wrangling four panicked and screaming cats into the cars two floors down in the parking lot.
And the possibility - or likelihood - of being a total zombie in class today. At least I don't have anything else to do today.
This is the sucky part of community living. For better or worse, we're all stuck with each other's stupidity. And sometimes, that means the shared misery of blaring fire alarms.
