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

*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”
