Was at a cell site that sits on top of a retirement home. Door too the roof has a big warning: DOOR IS ALARMED. I don't bother to call the super, and I'm curious to see if the alarm really works. Most sites have the door alarm, but the batteries in them are dead.
I give it a slight tap. So far so good. I try a bit more, nothing. A little bit more and the most ear-splitting shriek comes from the alarm. So I did the most wrongest thing I could do.
I ran.
Head nurse comes running out, thinking some old person with Alzheimer's wandered onto the roof, I act like I'm looking for the maintenance man. Police arrive. Fire department arrives later. Big scene, accountability check for all residents, the whole time I stay mum about the whole thing.
Lucklyy for me, it wasn't one of my regular sites, and I haven't been back there since.

Cameron originally envisioned the Terminator as a small, unremarkable man, giving it the ability to blend in more easily. As a result, his first choice for the part was Lance Henriksen. O. J. Simpson was on the shortlist but Cameron did not think that such a nice guy could be a ruthless killer.
