It always amazes me how many people leave their purses and keys behind when they go out for lunch, a smoke or a firedrill. Likwise, the ones who go out in just a shirt in the colder, wetter weather.

I always think "what are you going to do when you can't get back in?"

I recall a fire alarm once about 30 mins before quitting time, that turned into an ordeal of a almost 2 hours. I went home. Most stayed and grumbled because they couldn't go home. They didn't learn though. Just lived to complain the next time around.
