Nearly jumped out my skin a few minutes ago when sirens started blaring. The emergency alert system just triggered, with this generic message about wildfires.
Not any actual impending ones about to burn my house down. Just the general possibility. Because of a heatwave nobody has apparently noticed.
Thought the bomb was about to drop for a second. Has nobody in our government heard the story about the boy who cried wolf?
Sorry if this is venting but this rather caught me by surprise.
You’re not supposed to use your phone while driving but the only way to make it stop beeping what’s to pick up the phone and press OK. So either I’m distracted by the noise or distracted by the phone.
If there’s an ICBM incoming then sure I guess I’ll take the risk but if you’re just telling me that it’s hot outside I don’t think that’s a worthwhile trade-off.
