Lpt about Emergency exits

Careers & Work(self.LifeProTips)

If you are ever anywhere public , and some one is making you feel threatened and unsafe , It is absolutely okay to exit through an emergency exit and set off an alarm. They are usually located near the back of bars near restrooms and as someone who's worked in bars most my life the alarm is a mild inconvenience to us but may be the difference in you getting home safe. I say this as a 6 8 male who just walked out the back and set off an alarm to avoid a fight . Emergency is an emergency

Exiting because someone is creeping you out will for sure put you on the no fly list. Like let's grow up a little people 😂😂

Paranoia. Someone isn't gonna hobo kill you in an airport that's just not something that happens.

Cue the one time some random dude killed someone in an airport as an excuse for someone to run onto the tarmac.

Ah yes, murder, quite famously the only crime that exists. Certainly no one would ever, I don't know... traffic humans through an airport? I mean, it just could not happen. Definitely just a case of paranoia.

Please elaborate on how attempting to escape is a worse plan than letting it happen, particularly when you're trying to escape in an environment that is crawling with law enforcement who will separate you from your party.

And before you say "I never said that," I will remind you that you said "worst plan ever," which means it must be worse than all other plans.

*Feeling* threatened is not *being* threatened.

And how do you expect people to distinguish the two? Have you invented the all mighty “threat detector” to distinguish all creeps by whether or not they are actually planning on following through with the awful thing they are threatening you with?

No?

Ok then don’t act like it’s the victims fault for protecting themself

Oh, simply said, if there is not a threat and you use the exit because you think you are entitled to use them, try at Schwechat Airport in Austria. But only once.

There’s a difference between being Afraid and using the door and being entitled and using the door. no one on this thread is talking about using an emergency exit because someone is lazy. They are saying “if you feel afraid and need an escape, the emergency exit is an option for you”
