Fire exit for fire drill?
One morning at office
Security: Sir, please don’t park your car here today.
Me: Ok, but I park it here everyday.
Security: No sir, this is the fire exit. It will be difficult for people to come out if you park your car here.
Me: (I didn’t know I was parking exactly in front of the fire exit) Oh, I didn’t know that. In that case, I shouldn’t be parking my car here at all.
Security: No sir, only today we have a fire drill. From tomorrow you can park your car here itself.
Me: !!?!!
In my previous organization, there used to be a fire warden who used to conduct fire drills. From the 5th floor, our project guys used to take atleast 25 minutes to come to the fire assembly, but that guy used to boast that evacuation was completed in 9 minutes!!! Atrocious. As a country, even after facing so many natural and man-made disasters, we still don’t have the inclination to take such drills seriously.

Then we blame it on fate…
I don’t know when our mindset will change…
