"I wonder how long it took them to memorize the other 431 police alarms?"
Coincidentally enough, I was in an office yesterday, while they where testing out the alarm system, which resulted in a very annoying very high pitched tone. The lady I was seeing told me there's 52 of these alarms, and they all sound exactly the same. So I asked how you are supposed to tell the difference and know which way to run? And then I noticed that each desk has a button under it, for each staff member to hit when it's a security alarm, that disables the alarm once every staff member has confirmed there's no security problem at their desk. I noticed this coz the people running the tests went around each desk asking "Is it you that forgot to push the button?" and seeing some go "Oops" and pressing their button.
Still wondering why they picked that very high pitched tone, that some older people just wont hear.
