I have been living in apartment my entire life and the thing I don't get about the place where I'm currently living is their tendency to check up on the fire alarm. Every now and then, you'll hear it ring. The worse part is it can happen at any TIME of the day like let's say 7.30 this morning.
So, picture this:
A person who is used to the loud fire alarm and who don't even bother to go out to check whether is there a real fire stayed in a hostel where the fire alarm is not loud and doesn't sound like an alarm (it goes tik... tik... tik...). So, the fire alarm went on while this person still happily stayed in her room packing her stuff so that she could tour the University.
When she open the door to leave her room, 2 fireman and the housing manager passed by while giving her a why-she-still-here look. Still not realising what's going on she locked her door and leave.
When she open the door to leave her hostel, a few people were staring at her hostel so she too decided to stand with the crowd.
"What was she thinking? If it was me, I would have left the room without taking any of my belonging."
"WHO?" Only then she realised... "That was the fire alarm?"
Fortunately, the alarm was triggered because her housemate decided to cook and forgot to turn on the air ventilator, nothing was burn.
Ignorant is bliss?
