I'm at work, on night shift, and was walking down a hallway, and had an almost overwhelming urge to pull the fire alarm. It's a big red thingie, with all kinds of warnings etc. I didn't pull it, but, I felt like it. Ever been tempted to pull the alarm somewhere?

I have had that urge several times in the past. Actually, I still do until now. It would be fun to pull some prank but I am really afraid of the consequences if ever I do. I work in a university and we do have a lot of those fire alarms around the campus. I do not think I would ever pull the fire alarm there as there are so many students and employees who would be suffering the consequences of such prank. Should I do such prank, I will make sure that it wouldn't be in the school. Perhaps somewhere else.

No, I wouldn't actually do it. But, I look at the emergency stop thingies on elevators and stuff too. I guess I just wonder what it would be like to rock the boat a little.

hi bon. yup did it once when i was at school. me and my friends had a little bet going on. we were scheduled to have an exam that day and whoever can do something so the exam will be cancelled will be declared the winner. some tried calling the school as they will issue a fake bomb threat. beat them through it and pulled the fire alarm without telling anyone. lol! i won the bet, the exma was cancelled, and best thing of all i was able to review for the scheduled exam and ended up getting the highest marks. talk about getting the breaks for you.
