  1. JasonK says:

    Tinklenator, no.

  2. Tinklenator says:

    Firing Squad!

  3. Jules ♂ ♪ says:

    Fire!?!

  4. Ms B ♥ Just take my head please says:

    I love it! If only all fire alarms were this effective!

  5. boboy says:

    3333rd?!

  6. Aja says:

    That’s funny. I had a dream this morning where the phone system was out of order but we could dial 333 for information.

  7. FireRook says:

    Fire fire fire!!! LOL

  8. Emperor, Leader of the Resistance. says:

    It’s the most effective way…

  9. Judy says:

    *runs*
    *leaps*
    Look out below!!!
    *dives into midst of cuddle puddle*
    Ah! *snuggles*
    Bar open yet?

  10. sauer kraut says:

    If a fire is discovered in a frat house, would an more effective way of addressing the problem involve gathering all the brothers and having them turn their tinklenators onto the hot spot?

  11. ajurieu says:

    sounds like a plan

  12. sauer kraut says:

    “Cuddle puddle” is what happens when a tinklenator is turned on.

  13. LEILA: Name (required) Publicly shown. says:

    ♪ Come on baby light my fire. ♪
    FIRE!
    FIRE!
    FIRE!
    *dials 33333333333*

  14. N/A says:

    NHS funding fail. Still, I guess if all your patients die in a fire you don’t need to treat them plus you have an excellent excuse to then just close that hospital.

  15. 19 says:

    Number fail. It’s 0118 999 881 999 119 7253.

  16. LEILA: Name (required) Publicly shown. says:

    Lawsuit prevention win? or fail?

  17. krakvillun says:

    u guys r funny. i read these comments when i can n i’m always kracking up. keep up the good work.

  18. hehateme says:

    they forgot click heels three times then cal 3333

  19. Clarkey says:

    Holy crap, this is from North Tees Hospital or the Tees Hospice. That’s in my town! Wow, claim to fame for the win!

  20. BT says:

    Was this written by Maurice Moss?

  21. hehateme says:

    you mean the “Moss”

  22. gigeoxy says:

    Whoa! Did FB just add another nesting level?

  23. Gone2thedogs says:

    They accidentally the whole fire alarm. What should they do?

  24. Noxx says:

    How is this a fail? whoever made this isnt too smart…

  25. Raiden says:

    Lol, when I read the “FIRE FIRE FIRE” part on that sign I can’t help but picture the heavy soldier from team fortress 2 screaming that

  26. sylarvic says:

    umm, 385th?

  27. X-Phile says:

    Hey guys, what’s cookin’?

  28. Brewski DOT ORG! says:

    I think Failblog’s survey must have caused their advertisers to change their approach. Instead of the girl in hotpants with the tight “ROWR” shirt, or the girl with the “It’s Great to be White”, they have a brunette with glasses in a “Don’t Drink and Derive” shirt! Nerd humor. I’m not sure if I’m happy or disappointed?

  29. fakey fakerton says:

    ONCE AGAIN, FAILBLOG FAILS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    PATHETIC.

  30. stix213 says:

    Fire alarm system out of order… In case of fire, EVERY MAN FOR THEMSELVES!

  31. heeeeeeeman says:

    i can just picture ricky gervais doign this in a sarcastic voice for the office….
    if only they came back

  32. mae23_90 says:

    I like horses.

  33. How many kevlar-plated horses would be necessary to storm Fort Knox? And if we got enough how long would it take 1,004 gophers to dig a tunnel big enough to fit them all in?

  34. BlackWolfe says:

    I don’t know what’s worse – that the fire alarm is out of order, or that they feel their employees need step-by-step instructions for yelling “FIRE”.

    Seriously, if you need instructions on how to yell “fire”. . . burn.

    • Tomfooler says:

      ….. ._.;;

    • dwbmb says:

      I agree, but it’s their duty to do so. But what I don’t understand is what’s funny about this. This is backup method of fire alert almost everywhere, you can read this in every fire alert directive (don’t know exactly, how do you call this in english).

    • Slerte says:

      Unfortunately, people are that stupid that they wouldn’t know what to do without the sign to give them instructions.
      But it’s not just the stupid people who would burn it’s everyone in the hospital.
      So, this is a WIN.

  35. 3N says:

    OOOhhh! My first “awaiting moderation”. Perhaps I’ve touched a nerve!

  36. St33v3 says:

    “I appear to have burst into flames.”

  37. Lullz says:

    LMAO! The paper is covering the word “hospital”! Hospital safety fail!

  38. carl says:

    Wow, print some crap and stick it over a sign, take a pic of it, post it here, woooow

  39. s-cape says:

    Still not as bad as the fire alarm box that locks your hand inside…

  40. AllieMae says:

    are you held liable if you DON’T yell “fire fire fire”

  41. eatone says:

    i bet this was in a public school

    http://eatabigone.wordpress.com/

  42. Dave says:

    Actually, for those who are still reading this ridiculously long thread…

    This is a standard alarm signal for the military. You don’t always have the luxury of having an actual fire alarm in place, and sometimes it doesn’t work — and even then you should still scream FIRE! FIRE! FIRE! then pull the alarm.

    It also works for chem warfare: GAS! GAS! GAS! (everybody dives and grabs their gas masks)

    So yes, this is a THINKING AHEAD TO SAVE LIVES INSTEAD OF SITTING ON YOUR DUMB ASS NOT CARING WIN.

    Just sayin’

  43. Tracey says:

    wow – that’s from “… Tees Hospital”…. at a guess, it must be North Tees Hospital…. which I am currently sat about 100 metres from!

  44. moofoo says:

    Anyone can type a paper and stick it to a fire alarm.
    For real.

  45. Deejer says:

    A fire alarm in a hospital is not like a fire alarm in a school. When there’s a fire in a hospital, you don’t leave (too many sick people)– so what do you do? You put the fire out.

    “Fire Fire Fire” gets you help doing that, and calling 3333 (the in-house emergency number) gets firefighters coming.

  46. Oh my Gerard! Really!? Shouting “FIRE FIRE FIRE” will alert people about the fire!!??

  47. SIA Training says:

    In Europe and the UK there will be interesting changes for both private security and national security – we all await more information, interesting times!

  48. Robbie rocks like grape jelleh! says:

    3333 Is the Australian/New Zealand number I think
    :S

  49. TruXter says:

    Actually, on the job, I have seen similar.
    I do work for a fire alarm company in Houston.
    They might have put that there to upset the the inspection technicians who should be monitoring their system and should be there as soon as there is an error. This is a riot, love the picture.
