I can beat all of you. My freshman year, we had three fire drills in one week- from the same guy. Of course, he was not the one who got in trouble. Why? Because he was using the microwave that belonged to myself and my roommate to set chocolate chip cookies on fire. (Seriously, pal, if the little plastic cookie-holder you find in the package lights on fire the first two times, STOP USING IT BY TRY THREE.)
Ah, but then not just my dorm last year, but the entire residental quad (five dorms!) where we were located were kicked out for something like THREE HOURS in the middle of winter, near midnight. Why? There was a gigantic ammonia spill down at the athletic facilities next to us, and we had to be evacuated. We didn't know for hours if we were going to be able to get back into our dorms at ALL that night, or even for the next few days. Many of us, myself included, developed sore throats and coughs from the fumes.
This, surprisingly, did not make me any more tolerant of normal fire drills that only lasted for twenty minures or so. Don't you wake me up, people, unless that building is in flames AROUND ME. Nice to know others are sharing my misery. ::wipes tear:: They grow up so FAST!
