There's a bit of a difference between a fire drill in an office building from the perspective of a regular office employee - and a firefighter. In the latter case it would be expected to have people working as victims complete with mocha[1] injuries and feigned panic.

I don't see why simulating working a bug report need be cringe inducing... If everyone is just playing themselves.

[1] unintentional humor. I suppose there are some unfortunate people that have had to simulate helping someone with a mocha burn or similar injury. I meant "mock injury".
