False Fire alarms at Gallaudet/NTID

pimpd, I graduated from gally last summer... now living in Norway. :D It'd be fun meeting somebody from AD, though!

This is me in the shades, and green garland (white pants with sandals) in the May ceremony '02. Real short, huh?

That is one thing I don't like about the RIT campus. Archatechually, it is boring. Everything basically looks the same.
 
ha ha yeah I remember. I believe that was the old building called krug hall. It must have around 150 to 200 times. I kept getting up and up and up and up . some of us decided to sleep over friends' other dorm buildings. That building was for freshman kiddos. lol it must be in between 1989 to 1992. But there were several years in a row for freshman kiddos' buildings. lol some freshman kids did damaged the lounge from 4 floor and threw big chairs and tables landed into the ground. :shock: some of my friends got kicked out of gally. oh well. someone stole the camera that took picture of that icident that night. no one know about it. thats been so long time ago!
 
Why would students falsely pull the fire alarm? Am I missing something?

It's because they're retards.

They think it's "cool" to pull the switch or to burn something to set it off.

I've heard rumors that deaf students at NTID were trying to compete with deaf students at Gallaudet to see who could set off the most fire alarms in a few months.

There was a time when someone put a pack of popcorn wrapped in a paper towel soaked with oil in the microwave and burned it. The very next night, someone did it again... but added a metal fork on top. Because of this, RIT removed all microwaves from all floors of that dorm building (except the basement) for a month or two. It pissed off a lot of students because they all had to share one microwave in the basement. :roll:

ha ha thats right. i totally forget about this one why they kept scoring against ntid/rit. lol the worst weekend was when the homecoming came, my god too much of fire alarms that kept us up all night and few all day. :rme: Some of them knew they were about to kick out of gally due to their flunked up grades and did it for FUN and their last memories. jeez!

A couple students on my floor a few years ago thought that it would be cool to spray another student's room full with a fire extinguisher. It set off the fire alarm and both students were suspended from the dorms for the rest of the quarter (5 more weeks) and then suspended from RIT for a year.

The problem with burning things in the microwave is that students never read the instructions when cooking food. Almost ALL popcorn packets require a maximum of 3 minutes to pop fully. Students are stupid enough to just push the button for 5 minutes and then walk away thinking that 5 minutes will ensure that every kernel is popped without realizing that popcorn do burn! :roll:

The same goes for other food. They overcook their food. They almost always press the button then leave the kitchen. That's why a lot of RAs keep reminding their students to stay with their food.

There are some RAs who are stubborn enough to stop the microwave if they walk in the kitchen and see it running with no one in it. If the student comes back and complains, those RAs will simply say... "Then don't leave the kitchen!" :Owned:

Kids are crazy to do something so dangerous in college. oh god. i was a R.A. for 4 years. They could have made the signs and the meeting too. I dont know what ntid/rit R.A. duties look like. =?

How are they getting out of classes? It's the dorm buildings that the fire alarms are being set off in.

At RIT, signs are made and meetings are done to inform students of these things... but there are still stupid students who are ignorant and tear down those signs or refuse to show up for those meetings. Sometimes, those meetings/signs are done twice or 3 times. :roll:
