Just tell them you're a [dead] serial killer. "They look like everybody else!"

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So, is mandatory costumes sorta like enforced fun? Or more like enforced team-building/team spirit? Enforced morale-boosting wackiness?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Heh. I was a Cereal Killer one year -- flannel shirt, blue jeans, clown mask, scythe with Cheerios box impaled on it.

Yeah. Plus, "They're really quite and don't go in for enforced social activities."

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Jesse, you should have gone as Dale Evans.

We just had a fire alarm at the new building. No one knew where to go (see above re "new building") and they had bullhorns out barking orders at people. Very annoying.

Mandatory sports-themed costume. So ... very limited choices. Which, when reduced to no choice, was actually an improvement (CHEERLEADERS? WTF?). And ... team building kind of thing. Also to make staff easily distinguishable from those who've paid to attend the conference.
Cute little turtle! took me a minute to figure out that it wasn't bendy-er than turtles usually are.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
I feel your pain, Gloomcookie.
My building is an iconic one in Liverpool. As a result, we have anti-terror doors now that stop people tail gating people in, that sort of thing.
And a new bomb alarm procedure. If somebody phones or mails in a bomb threat, the alarm is sounded and we have to;
- Remain in the building - Look for the bomb. Including - Bins - Cupboards - Raise the alarm if we find it
So, yes, if there's a bomb threat I'm really going to stay in the building whilst idiots rattle their bins.
