I just found the whole experience interesting. People were wondering what was going on as we exited the building and I said someone probably burnt popcorn. It's the first time it's happen in my building since I started.

I think the most interesting fire alarm we've had so far was someone's car was on fire in one of the parking garages. I don't know what happened, but it was certainly an odd e-mail to recieve.

I have lots of "blonde moments" too, but the warning about burning the popcorn is pretty much on the microwave it's hard to make excuses for these people.

I actually think that the fact that there's so many B.A./B.S. people at your company lends itself to having popcorn->fire alarm incidents, lol.

Still that sucks, and you have my sympathies.
It doesn't help that we hire a lot of people fresh out of college, but it really shouldn't be that hard to make popcorn.

Lol, yeah I know it's not very common. We have a rule book filled with rules that would think would be common sense to most people, but because enough people did the stupid thing they had to create a policy to handle it.
