How many apartment fire alarms would you say you've heard go off in your life?

When I was a freshman in college, it was very popular for kids to yank the fire alarm and then run down the stairs.

And usually about three o'clock in the morning, there was one two week period where it went off like seven times, I think.

Wow. Yeah.

Then they started putting cameras up on them and put the little explodey die packs in there. So the next guy who did it had his arm turn blue. I was going to wait. Did somebody actually do that? Oh, yeah. Was he identified? I mean, look, there was one smurf-looking motherfucker at the bottom of the stairs. and he had some real, real stuff to explain and got to talk to the dean, as I recall.

Yeah, and I'm sure the authorities tracked him down.

I was thinking more like mob ruled.

Did the mass of disgruntled sleepy students identify him and perhaps tear him limb from limb? I feel like if anybody knew that their friends, uh, were doing that,

they were told their friends were told to cut that shit out. Because it was, like it was funny the

first time and then it was really annoying after that. Yeah. Yeah. You know, I guess a dorm is basically

just a giant apartment. So it fits this discussion, but we've talked about the fire alarm

situation in this building before. Right. Uh, no. Did we, did about the fire alarm situation in this building before, right?

Uh, no.

Did I never bring that up a year or two ago when I discovered because the, the, the fire alarm

box in the entryway is quite visible downstairs and has the name of the company that

installed it on it?

Okay.

No, I never heard this before.

And did I not mention to you that I discovered?

I don't remember why I Googled this person, because the company is just named after the guy who runs it.

Yeah, Steve's fire alarm company.

And found an article that this person was being investigated by the city of San Francisco for a fire in the mission and for having been working for quite a few years unlicensed.
