Paranoia in the Night

I was driving home late last night (about 11:30pm) from work down the Dulles Greenway and out of the corner of my eye I see this smoke billowing up from a building. Upon closer look, it looked liked the building was on fire and there appeared to be nobody around, so I took the next exit to find the building address and verify for sure that it was on fire. These buildings are brand new and off in the middle of nowhere, after finally finding a way into the building lots, I finally pull in to see if the building really is on fire. As soon as I entered the parking lot I noticed a man walking from the back of the building, at first I was thinking crap he probably set it and i'm gonna get hurt. Turns out as I turned my car towards him, he was a security guard. I roll down my window and tell him that I was driving.... Anyways, he starts running towards the building I pointed at and exclaimed "FUCK! Let me get my keys!" and he dissapeared into the building. Well I still wasnt convinced it was fire, but apparently he was super freaked out over me thinking it was. I drove around to the back of the building and saw the smoke coming up from the back and at that very moment, it dawned on me that it was cold outside. I just pulled a dumbass outta my hat. Almost felt like I need my sign that says I'm stupid. Anyways, the flickering I saw was the area street lighting that made it look like it was on fire but it wasnt. I drove around front and the security guy is standing out front huffing and puffing from running all around this building looking for fire. I told him exactly where it was and that I believe its just the environmental control systems. Oops. He looked bored, I just gave him something to do. Either way, he thanked me profusely and said he was gonna double check and off he went running into the building again. I left cause I felt like a total dumbass.

What did I learn, nothing. LOL.
