How about this one...

1)  Sitting at home
2)  Security company calls and says burgler alarm going off at
datacenter
3)  Login to web cams but see nothing
4)  Cancel cop response
5)  See firemen walk in, look around, leave
6)  Figure "ok, just a false alarm in the building
7)  See another group of firemen walk in and begin poking up celing
tiles with axes
8)  See yet another group of firemen walk in an join them
9)  While the door is open see another fireman outside unrolling a hose
10) Jump on bike and ride in
11) Meet fireman boss in lobby and he says fire in my suite
12) Finally get up there and discover it was the AC fan motor burning
out
13) Then I have an empty FM200 fire suppression tank to refil (~$12k)
and an AC to fix before everything overheats
