A paper attached to a street post with a picture of Lisa Simpson rocking back and forth. The text reads “Attention! Hi neighbor! Did you have a smoke alarm that kept beeping once every 60 seconds that you decided to throw in your yard out of annoyance? If so- it’s now annoying me! Because guess what? It’s beeping right outside my bedroom window! Every time it beeps a piece of my soul dies. Please get rid of it, I absolutely beg of you. It’s been a month.“
It always happens in the middle of the night, like it’s waiting. I tore one of mine off the ceiling and put it in the car, in the garage, so I couldn’t hear it. I damn near smashed it, but then I had the idea of putting it in the car.
I’ve been told it’s usually at night because it’s coldest, and batteries work less well the colder they get. Makes sense to me, still sucks though.
That and gnats.
what’s the story here
This seemed like a good plan until I thought about the fact that I would definitely forget it was there until approximately 10 seconds into the next time I drove anywhere.
