I have a small part time business & I needed to do some work on a Sunday afternoon. ( I rent a small office in a building that's shared with about another 30 businesses) and there was NO WAY I was going to that in drab was I?? So I got into the office, it's quiet as a mouse, unlock the door, disable the alarm and get all prettied up and settle down to work for a bit.
After about 30 minutes or so, I go down the hallway to get a glass of water from the water cooler and sure enough...... I set off the building alarm !!!! GACK !! I jumped so high and I swear I nearly wet my panties. I have to RUN down the other hallway, down the stairs (in heels dammit) to disable the alarm AGAIN !! and then run back upstairs and then UP the hallway to my office and close the door........
All the while I'm having a heart attack because when the alarm goes off, security automatically come along to check the disturbance, if it takes too long to disable the alarm, the police can come as well....... and I'd rather not explain to EITHER why I'm in the building wearing a pretty pink dress without security pass & building keys (no pockets in a satin dress !!).
It would have taken faaaaarr too long to get changed first & then disable the alarm - so I HAD to do it all prettied up and hope like hell I don't run into anybody........ thankfully I didn't !!!! OMG my heart was pounding & my hands were shaking so much I could hardly press the buttons on the alarm panel - did I mention I was wearing satin gloves too ?? that made it so much harder.
Aaayyaaayaaayaayaayyyayy!!!! why do I have to have such a difficult hobby ?? I looked something like this at the time:
