We ended up waiting in the parking lot for half an hour waiting for the all-clear because someone had burned rice in the downstairs kitchen.
Another time someone burnt macaroni and cheese at 2am. I ended up out in the parking lot in pajamas and bathrobe.
The funniest one, though, was when someone managed to set off the fire alarm after hitting the pull station with a football. Fortunately, that was shortly after dinner, and so we all just went to the dining hall and grabbed dessert.

not very funny when there is a real fire or emergency across town that the firemen couldn't get to and people die, instead of them being at your (not you in particular!) false alarm.
When i lived in residence in university the alarm was pulled multiple ties, same as you at freaking stupid times, 4am.......Was highly annoying. They kept telling us that if someone was caught doing it, that it would be a 5 grand fine.
