Here is a concise summary of the story:
**Title:** "The Great Panic Alarm Debacle" (part of Dan's "Story Time!")
**Summary:**
Dan shares a humiliating experience from his teenage years when he worked at a poorly managed D.I.Y. store. One day, while dusting, he discovered and pressed a mysterious big red button under a desk, unaware it was a panic alarm. This triggered a police response, including a SWAT team, and resulted in a £15,000 fine. When confronted by his manager, Dan denied responsibility, digging himself into a deeper hole. Just as all hope seemed lost, an 82-year-old customer intervened, claiming she might have accidentally triggered the alarm with her knee, saving Dan from certain doom. Dan escaped punishment, but not without a deep sense of relief and a humorous tale to share.
