Couldn't smell any worse than burnt microwave popcorn.


Very true. Dog hair might be foul when wet, but it doesn't have the power to set off the fire alarm system. I remember one saturday at work where someone cooking popcorn forgot it, and set the timer to 10 minutes or so. It produced just enough smoke there to set off the newly installed fire system, and was the 2ed alarm in two weeks. I felt bad for the people working near that break area, because when the alarm went off, fire doors right near there closed and forced all that smell into their work area instead of the hallways.

The first alarm on the new system was from the cafeteria staff burning lunch about a week after they were installed. Several people stopped eating there for a while after that one.
