How a mass of people die stupidly or How Mel spent his morning (no deaths)...

I walk into the office with the fire alarms going off in the building. Everyone is standing around, prairie dogging over their cubes, looking at each other, whispering to each other. Someone looked at me and said, "what do we do?" I paused and said, "Leave."
I turned around and started to walk out. When we hit the stairwell I turned back to see a few scores of people following me. I get to the outside door which has a warning about it being alarmed. I figured there are already alarms going off...what's one more? Before I could push it open my co-worker, L, went through (she gives negative fucks)...She and I led people to the sidewalk.
While all of this is happening I'm thinking to myself, "I refuse to be written up in the newspaper as 'the group of people who stayed in a burning office building because they're stupid'...that wasn't going to happen".
People are stupid.
We went back in about 10mins later with a pissed looking building manager...sorry dude, if you run a fire alarm test - best use some mass communication method (pick one...you have half a dozen) and inform people. Sorry you forgot to send an email...
