I remember an armed robbery at work when there were robbers at the front with shotguns,I was as trying to direct people out of the back fire doors and a bloke said to me he wasn’t leaving without his cooked chicken...legend!

Jerk. Him and the chicken. Not you.

Your idea of directing, was shouting ‘follow me’ was it?

Did you tell him to leave it as his goose was cooked?! ?

Recall a time we were all evacuated at work due to a bomb alert*  

Controlled panic as everyone exited the building (I was a fire warden so helping to direct people / check rooms in my fetching dayglo jacket), when I stopped a woman going back in.  On challenging her, she very calmly said she'd just got herself a coffee so was going to get it as it'd be cold when she got back and that she'd be out shortly. Err, no you won't. 

*ticking package turned out to be a pager posted by one of the admin centres.

Total nonchalance from this passer by. Just a run of the mill event in Dorset.

To be fair, that is the only way to react in a situation like that, and exactly how I reacted, when that display of loo rolls fell in Morrisons!

Hang about, and you just know someone will lay the blame on you!   ?

I was staying away on business (can't remember if it was Glasgow or Edinburgh now, it was close to 30 years ago, but a Hilton I think when the fire alarm started around 1 am waking me up.

I rushed downstairs and just as I got to the lobby realised I had left a bag of herbs on my dressing table (purely for cooking soups and stews you understand) and the staff were going room to room to make sure everybody was out.

I turned and ran back upstairs going past people coming down. A staff member said it wasn't a drill and i needed to go down.

I did a quick calculation of the odds that the alarm was set off by a drunken colleague as opposed to being a real fire, versus losing my job and pushed my way past him and sprinted for my room.

I can't claim to have been unflustered though. I was on fluster overdrive.

You are full of poo so the evidence does point your way. ?
