(4,107 posts)93. I totally understand! Last week one night I was asleep and the hallway smoke alarm
Started that low battery beep crap. I get out ladder with new battery in my pocket. I remove the old battery and replace it. Put away ladder, get back in bed and just dozed off when BEEP BEEP BEEP started again. Now I get out ladder again and this time remove the unit from the ceiling, maybe its dusty and needs to be cleaned out. Go through the whole replacement routine again. Get back to sleep and BEEP! Got so dang mad I took it down, removed the battery, threw it on the floor and stomped on it till I was sure it was dead.
I would not have done that when Biden was in offfice!! M
