Sounds about right. My mother refuses to change the battery in her smoke detector. So whenever I call I hear the highly annoying sharp piercing beeping noise in the background. And it drives me nuts!!!!
Ring~~~~ Ring~~~~~ Me Crab: Hello Mummy Dearest. Mom Scorp: Hi kiddo. What's up? Me Crab: What's that noise? Mom Scorp: What noise? Me Crab: Your smoke detector needs it's battery changed!!! Mom Scorp: Oh well your Aunt Mary (Sharing apartment with her sister; Aunt Crab) has been trying to get the Manager to come change the battery. Me Crab: GRRRRRR It's really really annoying. Mom Scorp: Hmp It doesn't bother me none. ::Snicker:: Me Crab: That would drive me insane. Mom Scorp: ::Snicker:: ::Snicker:: Me Crab: GRRRRRR GRRRRRR
none - we'd rather sit in the dark.
