So, yesterday my school decided that we need to have an earthquake and an intruder drill. For the intruder drill, we just sat there, while they walked around and made sure all the doors were locked.

Then we got "Ok students, the intruder has left the campus. Oh my gosh! theres an earthquake!" over the intercom. Everyone got up and scrambled under their desks, now, before I go on, you should know something..

I'm 6'3 and 270 lbs, and there was no way I would fit under one of our desks (We have those desks where the seat is connected to the desk with a metal rod, so they're even smaller)

So I stand up, and for a few seconds I just stand there wondering what i'm going to do. My teacher yells at me to take action, so I do.

I end up picked up the desk, setting it on my head, and squatting there. It was very interesting. Everyone started laughing, (Wouldn't you if you saw me do that?), and my teacher promptly yelled at me to put the desk down and do the drill properly. I respond "But you told me to take action! No way i'm fitting under this desk!"

So this is why we need to ban Earthquake drills from High Schools, they don't work for me.

After telling this story to my football coach, he said without missing a beat, "Seems silly. The kids could just hide under you!", and I think he's right, I would be safer than a desk.

We need a petition, or something.

Just thought i'd share for those of you not on HU boards

Earthquake drills are the perfect time to take out your phone though. And while you're under there, you can make a fb group against earthquake drills, text your friend in the classroom over how much they suck, and so on. So it's really just another social thing, and if everyone else is doing it..

What I don't get about earthquake drills is why some teachers insisted that you be quiet.. Oh noes if you talk too loudly we might anger the earth gods or not be able to hear when the earthquake stops. =P I'd be yelling "THE END IS NIGH." when a big earthquake hit.

what i don't get about earthquake drills is why hb has to post twice saying the same exact thing... i remember we did these drills in school, we had hurricane, tornado, fire, and intruder, and occasionally the "gang unit" would run drills to test their response to gang violence... i always enjoyed any opportunity to stop learning.

hahaha we dont have those here

i'm serious

funny tho also when there is a earthquake i woulds just get me outside of that building cause that little desk wont help u if the building is going down

We don't have those here

But, a few of my teachers told me that during the Cold War they'd have "nuke drills" and they'd do the exact same thing and hide under their desks, like that'd help. :ninja:

lolololo fat people.

*runs*

When we actually have earthquakes (mini ones aren't uncommon in California), everyone kind of just looks at each other, someone asks, "Was than an earthquake?", we respond, and we continue working. I think they're useless in Cali because we have them, like, every month, and everyone knows what to effin' do by now. Shoot.

We only have fire drills now. Maybe they're earthquake. We don't do that go under the desk thang, though. Just gtfo the buildin' otherwise the people in the orange vests are gonna tell you that you died. I not kid. I died twice cuz I was lazy to move.
