What is worse than that damn smoke alarm battery warning beep from a smoke alarm somewhere in your house?
That damn smoke alarm battery warning beep from a smoke alarm somewhere in your house going off at 2AM! And what is worse than damn smoke alarm battery warning beep from a smoke alarm somewhere in your house going off at 2AM? Having a dog with MASSIVE anxiety issues every time she hears a tiny beep like a car locking or a truck backing up or A DAMN SMOKE ALARM BATTERY WARNING BEEP FROM A SMOKE ALARM SOMEWHERE IN YOUR HOUSE GOING OFF AT 2AM! There is nothing less relaxing than Husband fumbling about in the dark trying to locate the stupid beeping smoke alarm that never beeps consistent enough to find it but sure as heck beeps annoyingly enough to drive the dog batshit. And by ‘batshit’ I mean full volume high-pitched Chewbacca whine-gurgle-whimper in her crate accompanied by non-rhythmic tail crate banging and manic crate spinning - which is not easy for a big wussy dog in a crate meant for sleeping not white-coat flipping out. I’m not sure who was having a worse time; Husband, Tigger the Dog or me. Oh, yeah, that would be ME. Because I was trying to sleep through the freakin’ circus that was TTD cage raving and Husband stomping the stepstool about from room to room waiting for the beep that never came from the smoke alarm he was standing under. Woke up not feeling too friendly toward TTD or Husband or smoke alarms or sunshine or birds or anything. Why in the hell can’t they make those stupid alarms programmable so they will tell you which room they are in AND let you know that they are in need of a battery change at a reasonable hour? I mean, what is it, a baby? It’s 2015 – make that happen people!

We have a thing here in Australia that you change the smoke alarm batteries on the first (or last, or both) day of daylight savings, once a year, every year. It works

Yeah, that's supposed to happen too but here's the thing, you have to ACTUALLY change the batteries not just talk about doing it... On Friday, I bought batteries for all the smoke alarms but Husband just replaced the pissed off one and left the rest on the counter. We're now in a stand off to see who folds first...
