Best Places to be at During an Earthquake

Since the most recent earthquake took place at about 4,45am, it is very likely that we were all in different places but doing the same thing: sleeping. However, and as life has been able to teach us time and time again, just because most people are doing it, it doesn't mean it's the best thing to do. This being said, I present to you the list of the safest places to be during an earthquake if it happened to occur at about 4:40am.

1- Drunk in public: this means you won't be inside any building, making it perfectly safe.
2- In a hospital: If something terrible were to happen, you'd be first in line at the hospital, so no queue or emergency waiting.
3-Illegal street racing: I'm pretty sure that if you're driving at about 200 mph, a little rumble from the ground is the least of your concerns.
4- A table shop: guess who's gonna find cover really easily?
5- In an airplane: it's none of your business what's going on down there.
6- In jail: the harder the shake, the higher your chance of breaking out.
7- Living in a first-story apartment: you can get the fuck out in a big big hurry, with no stairs to mind.

Yes, it is brief, but then again, there aren't that many places that would be fun to be in during an earthquake.
