Dear smoke detectors,
I know you have the best intentions of saving our lives and we really appreciate your reliable services. However, when you are in need of a new battery, could you please beep between the hours of 7:00 AM and 10:00 PM. I have yet to have one of you abide by this simple rule. You always decide to alert us to your battery request around 2:00 AM.
There is really nothing more annoying than being awakened by the constant beep... beep... beep... every 30 seconds. You finally force me to get out of bed, wake Todd up (who evidently can sleep right through the beeping), go find a battery, and have Todd change it out.
Trying to go back to sleep after all of the commotion is the difficult part. Even the dogs get a little annoyed by the ruckus that you have caused, then they decide it is play time rather than sleep time, since they are already up.
So, from now on, could you please refer to a clock before asking for a new battery. Of course, we are happy for the service you provide, but a little courtesy is also appreciated.
Sincerely,
Your sleep deprived home owner.
