My daughter works for a veterinary clinic. She is an RVT (Registered Veterinary Technician). The other day, she was sitting at the front desk and her hand slipped under it. As she caught herself, her thumb pushed in a little button under the counter. She thought it was odd, but went about her business and quickly forgot about it.
In a minute or two, the police were calling the clinic. It seems she had set off the silent alarm.
Everyone in the clinic was laughing and surprised that she didn’t know what that was. One of her co-workers asked her, “You mean to tell me that no one told you that was there?” No, no one had. They all had a case of “I figured someone had told you”. One of the vets at the clinic told her that since she was one of the people that were “on call” late at night and on weekends, it sure would have been nice to know.
Luckily she had never needed it. But that is sure one tough way to find out. LOL
