You Know You Like Fire Alarms When (2.0)

Yeah. That would be a pretty rude thing to do.

Calm down! It’s just a joke that I would never actually do without warning them the day before so they would be ready.

Heres A Few

You know you like fire alarms when…

-You try to make your iphone vibration go with your wheelock MT code 3 ringtone (Guilty)
-You go to school every day thinking about talking to the principle to conduct a fire drill in school but can’t. (Guilty)
-You finally force your self to talk to your principle in school only to know you have to ask someone else :oops: (Guilty)
-You finally got the approval to help conduct a fire drill in school but now have to wait a month :evil: (Guilty)
-You ask your self “why is they’re no fire alarms in that building” (Guilty)
-When you what to volunteer as a fire alarm tech assistant during high school (Guilty)
-When you professionally think you can pass any fire alarm test or question given at you. (Need to test myself for that) :slight_smile:
-When you make a fire alarm journal and take it every where you go [EX: School,Work,And Home] (Guilty)
-When you think about putting a fire alarm as your car horn (Innocent but my friend had the idea)

Simplex 4045-13.

You know you like fire alarms if:

You walk in a public building, name a fire alarm and pull, and your parents get mad (guilty multiple times)

-You accidentally type/write Simplex instead of simple, Wheelock instead of wheel, Honeywell instead of honey or Gamewell instead of game. (not guilty)

  • You get excited when you see a fire alarm system being replaced. (guilty)

-When you see a building renovation going on, you check the garbage bins for old alarms (innocent)
-When you take surround-sound speakers, connect them to your computer and play a voice evacuation message over them (guilty once)

Or replace a dead surround-sound speaker with a FA… (innocent)

That wouldn’t work, because most sound systems operate on less than a volt. An alarm wouldn’t work on that voltage.

Not mine. They are 25v speakers

Are you sure? Pretty much any 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound system would provide less than 5 volts.
It still wouldn’t work, because the voltage varies from 0-25v in a 25v circuit to pulse the speaker coil.

I’m guilty of so many of these things. Making it a point to look for the alarms when you go into a building, checking alarms when you see a camera flash, questioning why a building wouldn’t have a fire alarm system, jumping whenever you hear a 60 Hz/120 Hz noise (in my case, the buzzer on my clothes dryer), being able to tell how old a building is by what alarms they have, and so many more.
