For the benefit of us Europeans! Thanks
And us Canadians!
Do you guys spell colour and flavour with a ‘U’ as well?
*high fives Canada*
Yep. Same with “-tre”, as in “theatre”.
And here at FailBLOG us outrageously crude Americans attempt to accommodate and humo(u)r you lovely but misguided spellers by adding unnecessary “U’s” to words and typing with strange accents.
Strange accents? What are ya sayin’ about me accent? Jaysus, here’s me thinkin’ I spoke grand!
I know, what’s that aboot, eh?
I’ll start posting in Irish, that’ll really mess with their heads!
Pas autant que si je postais en francais.
Ah vraiment.

(Everyone will star to complain/cry)
Pas du tout! Peut-etre qu’on ira a Google translate…

Voici les resultats de Google translate. Bonne chance:
Que happens is I start a post in Italian?
All begin to cry.
Ha, maintenant je vois: “Que”, n’est ce pas plutôt espagnol, hein?
Apparently the Devil speaks his tongues less fluently than he used to.

FOOD IS WAY BETTER!
Que sera sera.
thanks for pointing that out,czuhc.i could have messed up
my end of year german exam by messing up verbal genders.
That sounded wierd,didnt it?
One of the very best meals I ever had was in Spain. The biggest piece of calamari I have ever seen in my life. It was just fantastic. The food I had in Italy did not compare. I LIKE italian food, but this was sooooooo much better.
Sorry instead of que I meant to write che… Being tri-lingual is hard.
Ps czuhc, I was speaking Italian and Google translate fails on the word si which means if, not is. Well the word changes depending on its context.

go back to italian lessons, my post means I’m an italian smartass
“si” means “yes” not “if”.
Maybe you just meant “se” which means “if”.
The accents thing is for them Europers types not those from the land of Elves, Fairlies, Leapingcorns, Pots of Gold, and naughty sheep.

I believe u were trying to say Leprechaun instead of Leapingcorns. lol!
Je peux parler français. Ce serait aux côtés de l’espagnol, le latin, l’allemand, et d’autres. Je parle couramment plusieurs dialectes. J’ai fait mes erreurs, même si, Google Translate est bon d’avoir. Je m’excuse pour cette réponse simple. École n’a pas m’a informé de petits détails. Nor voyages. Pardonnez-moi de toutes les erreurs faites. Je vais surement utiliser le seau à cause de quelque chose ici.

Ich liebe Äpfel. Die sind sehr sehr lecker!!!!
hammykins got a new avatar?
he dosent have to!!!
Thats the messed up thing
I like it
In the event of a real fire, you’re toast!
I like toast
Always, always falls buttered side down.
Grrr!
Don’t butter both sides!
You know the way toast always lands buttered side down and cats always land on their feet? What’d happen if you buttered a cat’s back?
Several severe scratches to the the throat.
Whilst in a drunken stupor a friend tried to rubber band
slices of buttered bread to his cat to test this hypothesis
which has troubled mankind since the invention of dirt*.
There’s a very interesting write up on the result which
can be found in “The Annals Of Emergency Medicine”
using the Keywords: Buttered Feline.
*Prior to dirt no one really ever cared if the
bread/toast landed buttered side down or not!
I do believe the cat would become a black hole, and the Earth would be sucked in.
Pretty much the same results of dividing by zero…
But you can divide by ZERO! It’s soooo easy! WATCH!
1,764,238.9333/0 = OH SHIT! RUN! FAAAASTERRRR!
: sips gulps Margareta whilst known Universe Implodes:
LOOK! :points up: PRETTY!
Tape some magnets to the cat and stick it in a spool of copper wire. A new power source!
The cat falls on it’s side. Duh!
That’s how they make UFO’s fly.
if you drop un-buttered bread does it just hover in the air?
Until you butter it.
Win
Just if toast falls from about 80 – 100cm. That’s what a normal table is.
Try it from 150.
:tries cat from 150 Cubic Meters:Hmmm, BOGGY needs nu cat!!Cat all broked!
It’s turned into Mythbusters in here!
what about hovertables?
what about hover dams? That would be the greatest invention ever! You could just make the damn dam hover to let some water through…
litterally
It isn’t apparent in the photo, but all it really does it put that very large cuff on your hand AND IT DETACHES FROM THE REST OF THE ALARM!
You can still run away from the fire.
It was invented to cut down on the number of people falsely setting off fire alarms. It failed because 1) it deterred people from pulling the alarm in an event of a real fire, and 2) pranksters found ways of setting it off without getting their hands trapped.
If I were a prankster, I would set it off with a foot and when the police would come to check everyone, my hands would be clean!
Ooooh, you’ve been watching women flush toilets, haven’t you?
really? omg perv! i KNEW someone was in the bathroom with me!
I can’t believe you actually knew that.
Well, if the cuff weren’t so bulky and there wasn’t a way around pulling the alarm without being cuffed, that’d actually be a good idea.
I guess they have to stay and burn until the firemen get there to release them.
A hero’s sacrifice.
Cancel the hero, make that a grinder.
YOU WANT HOT SAUSE? HEIL?
Oh, you po’boy. You sooooo want to be a troll, but you’re just not very good at it, are you?
*snickers*
I can’t wait ’til Arthur gets back. Hee!
It IS pretty cool when he blasts someone in German, isn’t it?
Arthur will slice through this Kaiser (t)roll.
Yeah…his words are like a torpedo from a sub!
Except now Quizno’s serves Tasty Torpedos… not Subway.
*head explodes*
mmmmm…Snickers…
*drool*
mmmmm…Kit Kat chunkies…
*slobber*
mmmmm… oreos!!!
does anyone know that you can make oreo cereal by mixing
mini oreos and mini marshmellows, then adding milk?
it is extremely unhealthy though.still…BEST…CEREAL…EVER
You should check out that http://www.thisiswhyyourefat.com website. It is kind of like the failblog (epicwinblog?) for food. Someone at work brought in stuff for that twinkies dog. It was not good, everyone else seemed to like it though.
It’s so the fireman have something to eat when they get there. Firefighting is very hungry work!
Now where did I put that BBQ sauce?
The internet serious business.
I’m FROM the internet. It’s very serious over here, you know.
What part of the internet are you from?
THE INTERNET BYTES!
Mega!
One of those tubes… they all look the same.
Let’s hope that ‘fire-box’ isn’t located near the fire…. or that the fire department gets there before you are charred to cinders. “Should I risk being burnt alive or alerting the fire department?”
‘“Should I risk being burnt alive or alerting the fire department?”’ Read that again and tell me how many options I have.
Typicaly they are outside, on a telephone pole. So unless the entire city is burning down, the person should be fine.
Normally they’re inside.
No wonder you get so many false alarms where you live!
I guess this product isn’t intended for around here.
I have NEVER seen a fire alarm outside. They are always inside the building.
Actually during the time period this came out few people had telephones. They had these set up on poles outside so that if a fire happened you would have a way to alert the authorities. It worked much better than having someone run to the fire station to alert authorities. With current technology these have been removed from our society.
lol serious fail, who the heck will even bother to pull that alarm
Maybe they could use one of those “grabber” sticks to pull it.
Maybe they could grab one of those “happy” sticks and pull it.
Maybe they could eat a crab stick and walk sideways until the fire dept arrives.
Maybe they could suck on a salt lick and dehydrate until the fire dept arrives.
Maybe they could pull the alarm and then gnaw their hand off until the fire dept arrives because the fire started in the electrical room and the fire alarm doesn’t work at all and no one noticed the flames until the entire building was consumed, so sad because she’s so pretty and the sole bread winner of her family of 14.
._.
she was my mother.
I see no problem with this. Getting burned alive would be good punishment for those pranksters.
Maybe they could have it spontaneously combust if there was no original fire, warding off potential pranksters!
If it was was a prankster, there would be now fire. Case work fail.
Take a joke fail.
Are you two related to each other?
Cousins twice removed.
take a joke fail AND spelling fail.
I see now spelling fail.
If they get burned alive, that means they weren’t being pranksters. They would be using the FIRE alarm for the very use it was intended for.
This is the dumbest security measure I have ever seen!
Are you Retarded?
Fire Retarded.
Something similar actually happened in an apartment close to me.
2-3 people died in a fire, because they had disabled the fire alarm, since
it went off whenever people were cooking dinner.
What was similar about this?
Well, the picture’s got a fire alarm in it, and the story’s about a fire.
Win!!! They prevented ANYONE from sounding the alarm in any circumstances! And I’m sure if you got your hand trapped, you’d outscream the alarm anyway
Next to this box they have a ‘Arm trapped in fire box Alarm” to call the paramedics. To discourage pranksters your hand must pass through a small guillotine.
…and if the guillotine is dull there is a box next to it with a knife sharpener, but you must…
…break the glass to open this box. There’s nothing available to break the glass with, however, so then you’re forced to…
…smash it with your hand, which leads us to the banadage box…
…where your hand must pass a match, starting a fire that…
…is meant to fight fire with fire. But this concept doesn’t really work well in structures, so there’s now a fire very close to you in addition to the one that caused you to pull the alarm in the first place. Sensing the futility in this logic loop of a system, you’re forced to attempt to chew your hand off much like an animal caught in a trap. This hurts a lot, so…
… you get out your insurance card and call your HMO-approved primary care physician. Now you really have a logic maze to get through!
…you must dial 911 with your free toes. The operator isn’t there so…
WHIP IT OUT
I SAID WHIP IT!!
WHIP IT GOOD!
…use your cell phone and a credit card to order a glass cutter, but a $500 hold is put on your card until you can prove you need the glass cutter.
…Kick the glass, but to do so, you must pass your foot through a small hole that contains…
…a rattlesnake, which bites you! Fortunately, there is a vial of anti-venom in…
… the elevator, which is located in China…
…In a cave, guarded by a Failien which is….
…sleeping, until that damn fire alarm wakes it up.
The Failen says…
“Ow! My eye! Who hit me with that magazine!” Now as punishment you must…
…jump up and down on this trampoline, fall off the edge and crush your…
test tickles? Which are trapped in the “Push Here for Sex” trap.
…coconuts with your bare hands unless you can amuse me by…
…buttering a cat in Schrödinger’s box, which can only be opened by…
…touching it without touching it, for which you will need…
lots of lung support to try and blow it open
Virtual hands.
…setting off the fire alarm by sticking your hand
through the clamp…
“Damn. It’s doing that thing again!”
- Mr Burns
Little known fact… these were invented to capture and burn witches; because only witches pull fire alarms. Everyone knows that.
And only YOU can prevent witch fires.
Which fires can I prevent?
Exactly.
I have an exactly-what on a chain!
does this mean i am a witch?
If you weigh more than a duck.
*The same as a duck.
By “The same as” you meant more.
*refers to Mindless2164*
*oooooh, right*
Not really a problem – the “cuff” comes away from the alarm and you just have to walk around with it until the authorities remove it from your arm.
..giving you the chance to start a real fire before they come? I think not!
Nice thinking, Mrn!
You, Sir, Ruin the fun of the internet.
The INTERNET is such a BITTY place.
Well that would make this a lot less funny,….
ITS A SACRIFICE
…does not count as an “out” against your batting avg.
Opening day FTW!
It’s obviously a sex toy. Fireman are hot (haha) and then the girl pulls it, instant bondage.
Need 3 more of them.
3 more firemen?
yes please
that explains the happy look on her face
why didn’t i think of that?
That is such a 50’s win! I love all those old “innovations.” I mean, what where they thinking?
I don’t think they WERE thinking!
They were thinking “Woohoo, gloryhole opportunity!”.
In case of fire, grab knob and pull gently
Do you think these would have sold better if they named them “Fire Prevention Glory Hole?” Actually someone should invent a glory hole that prevents fires… it is YOUR responsibility to prevent fires. This system is flawless, step 1. Cut hole in wall Step 2. Step 3. Prevent fires!
step 2. profit?
…because nothing says “i want to be gangbanged by the entire fire-department” quite like a smoldering corpse hanging from a wall.
lol I want this on a t-shirt.
The t-shirt you’ll die in shortly after putting it on
in 7 days!
You can get one at the “Dead Peoples Things” sale. Cheap!
I’d only pull it if the FIRE DANGER TODAY sign got to at least very high
And if someone had already sold the fire extinguisher.
ahem.
I’m kind of wondering if eventually everything on Earth will be referenced on the fails. God knows the Vicar has been going on for a year.
In fact, if the Vicar pulled the alarm…
did the dead people sell it?
Nope, it was sold in the Circuit City liquidation sale.
no the purveyor of DEAD PEOPLES THINGS sold it all, even the potato, because the Vicar smelled dead
No no no. You people have got it all wrong! If it’s a REAL fire, it melts the steel and you’d be set free! See, it`s perfectly safe.
well lets hope the fire reaches at least 1370 degrees Celsius
Damn! The fire here’s stuck at 1337 degrees…
*ringing the alarm*
I just hope the firefighters will be here soon! … Oh, damn! I think the alarm might be defective! I don’t here it ringing! HEEEELP! FIRE! I’M CAUGHT!
I here`d it.
EYE HEERD NUFFIN!I want to know what place was having so much trouble with false fire alarms that the prospect of people burning to death after calling for the fire department was an acceptable alternative to dealing with false alarms.
This appeared in a Modern Mechanics magazine from 1938! http://blog.modernmechanix.com/2006/11/30/fire-box-traps-pranksters/
Just wait until this hits Beverly Hills. Those bracelets are going to be such the rave (for about a week).
from that photograph, it doesn’t actually look like you HAVE to put your arm through the trap though.
still.. would be curious if they added these to the policeboxes too “I’m being chased by a madman with an Axe! Damn he’s running this wa… what the.. I’m stuck!! HELP! HELP! HE*Whack*chomp*kerr’snap’*slosh*slosh*
lawl
Actually it’s cool stuff.
It might be that these are meant to be placed outside; I seem to recall that this was the procedure in that era.
Still funny though.
That’s too bad, ’cause it’d be soooo cool to have one in my basement next to the wet bar I made myself out of shag carpet and fake paneling.
By chance is that early 1950’s ANTIQUE FAKE PANELING and Mid ’60’s SHAG?
It’s choice, not chance, that determines your basement.
That’s not to say you *couldn’t* put it inside if you wanted to…
Saw VI right there.
I prefer emacs.
We could use a Gnu editor for these comments.
I feel like such a geek for understanding all of that.
I think I like my high school’s idea better. You pull the fire alarm and get sprayed with blue ink. No fire, they know who to blame. Fire, they know who to thank, and reimburse for the shirt.
….Couldn’t you just change your shirt on your way out?
That would require planning in advance. People who are stupid enough to pull the fire alarm as a prank aren’t smart enough to plan that far ahead.
I thought the ink got on your *hand*, and was pretty much impossible to wash off.
I hope the ink is not flammable ,lol.
And a person with some intelligence would understand where the ink spray is coming from and activate the alarm without getting sprayed.It cant just explode with ink, there must be a valve that fires it, so it can be avoided.
However who does these jokes usually has the intelligence of a rabid chicken and would stand in front of the device.
I love the fact that the girl is smiling so widely like that. I like to imagine a burning building around her.
That does add something to the picture, doesn’t it? It really works for any picture in which the people are smiley too widely.
FIRST!!!
FAIL!!!
Troll >:@
The handcuff thing on these boxes didn’t stay attached to the box, you were just stuck with a big metal handcuff on your wrist until the firemen showed up to take it off you. So you would still be able to get away from a fire, you’d just have some nice large iron bling.
Spoiler
You know this from experiance?
This is actually sort of a horrible idea.
Help me close the deal one way or the other.
that might be the worst idea ever.
that’s a great idea!!……… no but seriously they are retarded
I dont get the fail
The fail is the part where you burst into flames.
Pardon me as burst into flames.
I’ve had enough of the world, and its people’s mindless games.
So pardon me as I burn and rise above the flames.
Pardon me. Pardon me.
I’ll never be the same!
I didn’t do it!
Omfglol, I wish I had one of those in my house!
Wow….I’m sure this invention was indeed effective at stopping not only all false alarms, but also those of legitimate emergency. I’m sure if faced with a choice most people would say ‘**** that noise’ and proceed to exit in a hysterical fashion rather than choosing a slow, and foolish hero’s death.
Not-in-any-way-near first!
heehee
wow . . . . ppl can be seriously stupid….. like i cant find another word to express their stupidity besides SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPEALIDOCIOUS!!!!!! (& srsly dont reply if ur just gonna correct my spelling)
Can I reply just to say hi?
I am replying to your reply^, just to say “Hi, Hammy!”
I’ll reply to that reply. Hi Sidhe!
May I reply to your reply to her reply to your original reply?
I’m replying to your reply to my reply to Sidhe’s reply to my reply to say that you may reply to my reply to her reply to my reply.
And I’m replying to your reply to her reply to your reply just to say hi to all of you from Washington DC.
Ooh! How is it there?
The weather is AMAZING! And so are the cherry blossoms. As for the forum, it ended at noon today (almost 5 hours ago) and was pretty intense. I’m emotionally exhausted. But I will come next year if they do it again!
Good to hear. The weather here is… well, a little rainy, but I’ve finally put away my winter coat. It’s finally spring!
It`s 12c here! (about 54f) Hopefully spring has finally taken hold and it wont get colder again!
It’s apparently sleeting pretty badly at home. Tomorrow evening isn’t gonna be much fun.
I’m glad you enjoyed it, Avis. I look forward to reading about it here or on your blog if you feel like sharing your thoughts. Safe travels home.
I plan on writing a post for my blog about it tomorrow, after I’ve had a night to decompress. I still get teary when I think about some of the things people talked about.
*hug!*
We’ve missed you!
*slips the Admiral a special squeeze*
Yeah, I`d like to know details so I can give them to a friend who has the same thing. She might wanna go if they do it again too.
These boxes would likely be out on a telephone pole or something away from a building. They would not put them inside the buildings.
Sorry, this is classification FAIL! it’s not a fail!
sorry, being trapped, unable to escape ANYWHERE is not particularly safe.
I think the security thing only gets stuck on the alarm-puller’s hand, not the alarm box itself.
Also, the truth is not as important here as lolz.
Every time I look at the ‘Recent Comments’ list I see that cheesy ad for a book about Mystery Sex Ghosts. They probably meant ‘Mystery, Sex, Ghosts’, but I can’t help thinking my version would make for a better read.
*now wishes she had a novel about Mystery Sex Ghosts*
Maybe you could write one. I’d read it.
Sooo… Firefox isn’t blocking my ads – it’s removing my opportunities for creative and lucrative book writing!?
Only if you’re inspired by lack of punctuation
Or you could always read “Eats Shoots and Leaves” if you love punctuation.
Says the panda bear…
All failbloggers are grammarfreaks.
That certainly would be interesting. And possibly confusing.
The confusion would be part of the mystery!
Bah, it’s a shame I have enough imagination to picture how much I would enjoy a seriously silly book about Mystery Sex Ghosts, but not enough to actually write one *sigh*
I am an avid fantasy-fiction reader (PG-, R-, and X-rated), and I have actually read five or six books along those lines.
Welcome back, Avis! *squeeze*
I keep having to look at the “Is your man GAY” one.
And what’s your conclusion?
If I had a man to begin with, I don’t think I would need an answer to the question.
Ya never know… he might be bi.
Yeah, I might have to be careful.
It might be reassuring to know that he wasn’t just pretending…
I don’t have that one!
*feels cheated*
*squeeze*
mystery sex ghosts???? sounds like an interesting evening ……
Only in america…the land of geniuses
Thats japan,no?
america is the land of dumbasses,christian extremists,republicans and hamburgers.
Hey! Who you callin’ a hamburger!
Please, watch it. I prefer to call us “stupid fatasses”.
Translated into newspeak that would be doubleplusbigdumb.
…which is only an additional 99 cents when you also order a large soft drink.
…with fries.
You all do realize that these were alarms that were located on the sidewalks right? Not actually located in a place where there was a likelihood of there being a fire.
They weren’t actually located in places where there was a likelihood of there being a fire?
You have just opened up a whole new can o’ fail…
Thank you, you saved me from having to say it.
Can it really be you Martin Luther Ding?
212th
I just wouldn’t want to pull the fire alarm because when the fire fighters did show up they would laugh at me for actually getting caught. Oh and they would forget the key to the lock.
…and I would be just in my underwear, and I would sit down in class and realize there was an exam and I hadn’t studied, and…
Lol stupidest picture ever lol
i am sorry i just joind and first time bloging but after reading a few of the coments here alot of ppl on this site are just idots
I am sorry, too.
I bet Mr_bunz is WAY sorrier than you.
(Hi, Sidhe! How has your weekend been? *squeeze*)
I’m sure he doesn’t have a headache from reading his own comment like I do.
)
(Hills and valleys
*squeeze*
Is the iDot the new fun gadget from Apple?
If your only goal is to prevent anybody from ever sending false fire alarms, then I guess this is the second-best way of achieving that. The only better way I can think of would be to disable all the fire signal boxes.
Fireman: “gee thanks mam for saving the children in this blazing school yard fire. That was just swell. But silly me! I forgot the keys to release you locked hand. Wait here and burn alive while I go fetch them at the station 40 miles away.”
Woman: “Oh that’s okay sir, I’m just glad those pesky rug rats aren’t pulling the fire alarm to get out of their grammar lessons any more. There is only so many times I can wrap their knuckles with a ruler to make them behave.”
LOL, that was exactly what i was thinking that could/should happened. Burn all alarm users, true or false ones.
What if the fire alarm was right beside the fire? The person would die before the fire fighters got there. How ridiculous.
So, like, uh, you get the concept of fail now, eh?
You people here are all stupid. In case of fire, just chop your damn hand off. Weaklings.
a clear case of right intentions but wrong round about way of doing it.
Thou shalt bow to me!
I feel bad for the guy named thou, bowing to satan ends up in a potato or pineapple in the wrong end.
this aint no frikkin comment box, it’s a chatterbox.
Can’t the chatterers chat somewhere else? Like, in a CHATROOM or something?
That would make reading and writing comments to fails and wins a lot easier!
Then let’s talk about the fail!
:D
Haha! Funny! Lolz~
in case of emergency
DIE!
First off, I love the FailBlog site and it’s humorous photos.
I’ve decided to stop reading the comments, however, because it seems no one posts anythings that relates to the content.
Most any photo will have someone posting “First!” followed by fifty or more posts berating the original poster and trying to be clever themselves.
That followed by a couple hundred posts with silly puns related to someone else’s post. Never anything about the original photo.
I got so worn out sifting through all the crap trying to find a relevant comment that I’ve now decided not to post anything relevant myself.
Anyway…
… never mind.
Uh, just start at the bottom and work you way up. MUCH more effective. The trolls and cult members move on as new pictures are posted.
Hmmm… cult of Fail Blog you say, I think it could work. That is if we got approval from satin (ruler of the underworld and women’s clothing).
Funny, ’cause that’s exactly what I did with his post – started at the bottom and read up. The first thing I read was “never mind” – so I stopped reading.
First. And do not forget it. BTW, penis.
I can’t decide whether to call you a first fail for saying first on the last comment on the list, or a win for some random reason, really.
Actually, it’s no contest; it’s the former.
Just call him a troll. It’ll be much easier on your when HE pulls one of those things out of suicidal impulses. Really, you won’t feel a thing when he burns and goes to Hell for Trolls (which is strikingly similar to Heaven for Dickheads and Purgatory for Atheists and Nirvana for People Who Hate Nirvana and Good News For People Who Love Bad News and Bad News For People Who Love Good News and Penisburg for Virgins).
OMG! FIRE!! -Slips hand in- OMFG!! I’m trapped! It’s burning towards me! AAAAH~~!!!!
-_-
What if you don’t have hands?
The call box is outside guys…
why is the girl smiling? she’s about to have a hot, slow death
a polish joke thats hard to put into words..
See? This proves that Saw wasn’t original at all.
I wish they had ones like this at my high school, it would have taught my boyfriend’s friend a lesson when the little bastard pulled the alarm on a freezing drizzly day and we all had to go stand outside until they figured out what happened. Prick.
Err…. Let’s see how many comments there are… Three-hundred sixteenth!
I love, how this thing removes altruism from the genetic pool…
wow…. if theres a real fire, you’re taking one for the team…
oi what happens if there was a real fire? you get stuck in it?
Yup
What you don’t know is it’s a magic box. It makes the person whose hand is trapped inside immune to being burned. Plus there’s chocolate inside, so when you’re freed, its bonus time!
I accessed this page earlier today and almost got an “Exploit Lucky Exploit Pack” virus. Luckily my antivirus is working. But my computer DOES have a cold…
This is only a FAIL because, what sounds like a good idea at first, becomes a serious issue when you realize that if a fire is burning in the building, the person is stuck there until someone can let them out, which if they are unable to be rescued in time will lead to the person burning to death of choking from the smoke before someone could get to them.
Or they could just use a broom stick or something and trick the dumb thing, lol.
Ed Hardy shirts
AHHAHAHAHHA
THAT’S JUST GREAT!!!
As someone else said, these didn’t trap you to the wall. The thing just clamped around your wrist like a huge bracelet and you couldn’t take it off without a key, but it didn’t attach to the wall or the alarm or anything. You could definitely leave the building with it on. My mom told me about these once, she said they still had them in her elementary school in the 1950s.
“Boopidi Bopidi!”
“…Que Quosa?”
Definitely a deterrant.
lol
this IS NOT a safety fail. these were alarm boxes mounted OUTSIDE, back before most buildings had their own.
Um, I’d offer to flip a coin with someone to pull the alarm, and then I’d run away while the other person was looking for a coin. Or I suppose I could try convincing the other person that real heroes die in order to save others…
If there was a real fire, no one would use it. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
I hope to whoever’s up there that the “trap” is made up to act as a deterrent and it doesn’t ACTUALLY trap the hand there when someone pulls it.
So you just burn to death, how nice!
Now there’s a chance for a proper heroe’s death!
if i saw a fire and that was the alarm id be like “f*** this yall can burn”
People in the 1950s had some strange, strange ideas.
caca
el que lee le gusta el pico!!
Box able to lock children in and let them burn to death! Wow…great
Very high-tech and not at all able to be thwarted with a stick.
