The alarmer often faces embarresment when they set their car alarm off by accient, or worse, their house alarm. If they don't (or can't) turn it off quickly you are driven to insanity as it wont STOP RINGING. AAHHHH. The problem with alarmers is that they have led the rest of the general public to believe that if they hear an alarm, that it was an alarmer causing it, so they will ignore it.
