    You haven’t lived until the smoke alarms go off when you’re in the dunny 😂

    I burnt my dinner :/

      I suspect we’re about 3 weeks off the house smoke alarms going off at 3am all the time because of internal humidity. Bye bye batteries

        Oh yikes, we’ve never had that happen. The closest thing I’ve seen is at my last place, apparently a spider built a home inside the vent of one of the smoke alarms, so everytime there was some wind, the cobweb was pushed into the sensor and alarms would go off.

        We can’t just unplug the batteries though, all of our alarms are hardwired and wired together, so if one goes off, the entire house starts beeping. We do have a control panel where we can pause an alarm for 10 minutes, but they aren’t very fond of us doing that since if there was an actual fire, we’d be clueless
