is there anyone who downright hates fire alarms/drills?

The only reason I enjoyed fire drills to an extent was because they got me out of class for a while. The alarms were so loud though that I always felt like needles were piercing my eardrums. When I got my noise canceling earphones I would turn them up and the sound would not bother me. However, this did not please teachers as 'if you can't hear the fire drill then you could endanger yourself'. I believe that's a load of BS as those alarms are so distinctive and abusively loud that even with the noise canceling headphone I could still hear it. I would be threatened with detention for doing stuff like that but I never go. To this day I was supposed to serve about 3 weeks of detention and have never done it.

I actually find fire drills relieving, especially when I'm having a hard, tiring day. There's just something soothing about standing outside on the astroturf in the cool wind. The noise of the bells or crowds don't really bother me that much.

I hated them, not only because they are extremely loud but because I had to stand outside in the sweaty heat for 20 minutes.
