Ok so my gf has a fire drill in her new building at school. No big deal right? Actually wrong since my gf is almost completly deaf so they are supposed to install a very bright flashing light overtop of the fire siren in her room so she knows the fire alarm is going off.
Everyone else leaves the building but she does not because she cannot hear the alarm. The security people come up to find out why she did not come down. She talks to them and they look at the fire siren box and notice that the extra bright attachment is not installed yet. You can't reall tell just by glancing at the box since there is already a small light on it. You actually have to go up and look at the housing then look at the inside of the housing.
Ooops they say guess we forgot.
Things like this piss me off.
Something else that pisses me off is that even with the light she would not necessarily know the fire alarm was going off. Hopefully someone would come get her in case of a real fire but you never know what could happen in that situation.
The thing is she can hear low pitched noses fine but cannot hear high pitched ones. She can hear the horn on a big semi truck, because it is low pitched, but not the horns on most cars.
If they simply installed a very low pitched noise device she would be fine.
I am just rambling and I am sure most people won't care but I wanted to get it out of my system.
