Danielle Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 (edited) This is how wacked my family is :whacky101: So for the past 2 nights the smoke detector in our hallway where it is to high for me to reach has been chirping non stop.Chris has been working crazy hrs for 2 weeks and has not been home to change the battery and get it down. So I am sitting in the office right now and I keep hearing chirping in the garage so I am looking everywhere and come to my surprise I found it........In the outside refrig is the dying smoke detector am thinking oh lord what is Tristan doing now.So I call Chris to tell him what I have found and he starts laughing his a$$ off and say's.......I put it there the thing was driving me crazy and I don't have a battery for it right now. You would think he would just remove the bad battery and leave the detector up on ceiling for the time being but no he sticks it in the refrig chirping and all. This is where my kids get there craziness from.....................Their Father Sorry just had to share my insanity :fro: Edited August 23, 2007 by Danielle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EY3BA11 Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 sounds like something i would do... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Edgy Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Did the same thing in Havasu once. 2:00am mind you. The damned things are all wired together. If one battery goes dead, they all start to chirp. Vaulted ceilings, too many road sodas , and a 6 foot ladder only compounded the matter. So I did what any other red blooded American would do........I got the ladder, climbed all the way to the top step , reached as far as possible, got a hold of the alarm, damned near fell on to the sofa , took it down, put it in the dryer full of towels. I was not going to spend one more second on that 'n worthless POS!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danielle Posted August 23, 2007 Author Share Posted August 23, 2007 sounds like something i would do...

It has to be a man thing if you say you would do the same thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a man thing I am convinced now.At least you put it in the dryer where it can be muffled from the sound of the chirp,chirp, but the refrig and I am searching the garage for 10 mins. trying to figure out where the sound is coming from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We at least went to the trouble of locating the source of irritation and removing it. However, I noticed that in your original post.......nothing was done to remedy the situation for two days!!!!!!!

wingnut Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 He did the right thing it still would have chirped with the battery out!!!! My bro-inlaw had one start going off in the middle of the night. So, he went grabbed a broom and beat the sh*t out of it with the handle!!!!! That's fuggin funny !!!!!!!!!!

offroadracer Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I had that happen on my old house i threw it in the garage.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offroadracer Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 BUT Then again I bet chris's theory was if he put it in the fridge the coldness would actually put a charge on the battery causing it to become charged and stop beeping ...

Luvdunes Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 It has to be a MAN thing, take it down and take out the battery. We have to take the battery out of our cabon monoxide detector in the moho at Dumont everytime because of the beeping. It drives us nuts.

high octane junkie Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 you're definitely missin' the point toots.. if that things beepin' is keepin' you up in the middle of the night.. it has to suffer! how would you like to be stuck in a very cold, dark room for hours? not at all. that would teach you a lesson, huh? that there beepin' annoyance has got to learn a lesson, and bless your better half for doing the right thing and teaching it one. =)~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He told me the same thing when i asked why he didn't take the battery out.I assume ,no battery it doesn't chirp.
