Today at work there was a bomb threat. A BOMB THREAT.
This guy comes in our office and says "you need to leave the building there has been a bomb threat." I start to feel a little woozy and ask him if we should take the stairs. He says yes. Then he asks if I'm okay because I guess I looked a little pale. I say "yeah, you just don't think you are going to hear those words for real."
So I fly down the stairs and out of the building.
I had to sit in my car for a few minutes before I drove away because I was crying and shaking too much to drive.
Totally bizarre.
Apparently it was a prank. I'd say it doesn't get prankier than that.
did it go off?
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, Robin! I'm so utterly scared for you!
ReplyDeleteBe safe, love & sending you a hug.
M~
That is so scary. Sorry you were so shaken.
ReplyDeleteWhen I worked at MOS in Boston we had a bomb threat once - it was terrible. Evacuating the building and getting everyone on the other side of the Charles still amazes me.
A prank?? Just so sick and wrong!!
I've had to deal with that once myself. It's a scary, helpless feeling. Glad to hear that nothing happened. Don't let a jackass prank like this take away your sense of security!
ReplyDeleteDamn girl...you okay?? That would freak me out too.
ReplyDeleteNot to make light of your situation, but that's the difference between guys and girls. Girls cry, and guys go get beer, cause hey, free afternoon!
ReplyDelete*offers shoulder*
We had a bomb scare at the school once, too. Not fun.
ReplyDeleteWow. what a drag. Not cool! Glad it was a prank and you are ok!
ReplyDeleteand where do you work again?
ReplyDeleteThat is so scary! We've had a threat at school and I've had to be in "lockdown" with my students...scared shitless, but putting on a brave face. Not high on my list of fun things to do. Glad your okay!
ReplyDeleteI remember once there was a bomb threat at my workplace. But we'd been hoaxed before, so they gave us the option of whether to stay or go.
ReplyDeleteMost people left, but I said 'fuck that!' I hate this company, but when I leave, I'll leave when I decide, not because some asshole is trying to scare me into it.
And, as luck would have it, the bomb went off while I went for coffee. Kidding!
my high school had a bomb threat back before they were all the pranky rage. turns out it was one of my best friends behind it. i had no idea at the time.
ReplyDeleteyoure all better now right?
Wow, that sucks, especially on a Monday. They normally suck for no reason at all! If you need a wine buddy or a chocolate buddy you know my address!
ReplyDeletepoor you - what a shock. that's happened to me before - heartstoppingly scary :( hope you're okay x
ReplyDeletePranks can be fun, but when people pull pranks like this that's totally uncool.
ReplyDeleteGlad it was just a prank though.
While I'm glad to hear that it was only a prank, I'm sorry that you had to go through that.
ReplyDeleteWas it a clock with a $2 sticker on it? ;)
ReplyDeletewe had bomb threats like every 2 seconds (it seemed) in high school. (this was well before 911)
ReplyDeleteI thought the bomb threat bs was old and done with. Where's the line in humour between innocent and out of the question? *hugs*
ReplyDeletei'm sorry that you got so shaken (not stirred) - but what if it wasn't a prank, and you were seen fleeing from the scene, so you were a suspect and on america's most wanted. your life would be so much different - a woman on the run!
ReplyDeleteYeah, now that I think about it, bomb threats are pretty silly because if someone were going to blow a place up they just would, they wouldn't call to tell you before it happened.
ReplyDeleteNow I'll be a seasoned bomb girl like some of you.
I hope you never get used to it. As soon as I read the first part I immidiately got a chill. I don't blame you at all for how you reacted.
ReplyDeleteYou're > 33???? The Hell you say!
ReplyDeleteI would have thought you were too YOUNG to be my roommate.
That's hot! "Hello, my name is Rik. I'm your new stalker." ;)
Pranks are supposed to be fun/humourous.
ReplyDeleteThat doesn't sound fun/humourous.
Does this mean you'll be coming back to HNT with a bang? :)
ReplyDeleteINSANE!!! hope you feel alright now baby. that is just nuts....
ReplyDeleteSo wrong!
ReplyDeleteThis happened to me too. Two weeks after 9/11! I too cried as I drove home shaking...then I passed the mall. And I said "Hell, I can go shopping now".
Bring on the bombs threats, you know what I'm saying? LOL
Glad you're alright. ;)
prank?
ReplyDeleteWhoever did it needs to have their ass beaten. Hard. With a splintery plank of hardwood.
Glad you're okay - well, hope you recover from the scare
Not funy, glade all is well! Have a good week!
ReplyDeleteLove posts are overrated. Food is much more sensual.
ReplyDeletedamn.. but i guess better safe than sorry. glad you're ok.
ReplyDeleteUsually i just move peoples stuff around while they're on lunch. It's less upsetting.
