English term (edited):
I've got flashing at me, BrE
je me trouve à l'opposé des voyeurs
> flashing at me in the UK connotes 'indecent exposure' = un attentat à la pudeur. So the source text - disastrously unidentified - must be non-British and American, Canadian or Aussie English.

: This fast food joint being under siege from a flash mob of flashers? Not very likely. Unless this manager is in some kind of X-rated business, THAT meaning of "flashing" wouldn't make any sense.

I've got everything flashing at me!
Ça s'annonce vraiment mal! / Ça va vraiment mal tourner! / Désastre à l'horizon!
The "flashing" is the flashing of warning lights.
