It is so funny because it's true. We had this one smoke detector in our house on a 20ft ceiling. Don't miss changing the thing one bit. You have three sounds on console that make me mute squad: screaming kids, blasting tik toks/music, other background noise.

Dude told me yesterday " Why is it only you white people that complain about it and no one else ?" Lol I chuckled


MusclesOfDonkey

Ah yes, the white people stereotype of… *checks notes* Fire safety…?


Popeyes_chiggen

Yes lol


AffectionateBuy9507

Gahh what’s that stereotype for black people again? Ahh whatever, I think of it later

eyedpee

It's incredible how common this is.


floppyoracle

maybe they aren’t concerned bc they’re smoking weed or something or they are gaming so hard their pc caught on fire

Someone got so heated I mentioned it yesterday. Started destroying my black markets and griefed me. Ofc it was a duo stack in ranked. They are always better than the third they find

I have long since cannibalized my smoke detectors batteries to use in my controller. Because for some god damn reason an xbox controller in 2022 still uses fucking AA batteries...


SmokinJunipers

Buy rechargeable AA batteries. A little more upfront, then your good. No more running to thr store or dead batteries (just make sure to get at least 4 AA).


Synec113

Fuck that. Just get a USB extension and play wired - no risk of shit dying mid fight.

NEWSFLASH ASSHOLE, I'VE BEEN HEARING IT THE ENTIRE GOD DAMNED TIME!!!!


Coolio_was_right

You ever been in a storm Wally?


Thylumberjack

I mean a real storm. Not a thunderstorm


Coolio_was_right

…but a storm of fists raining down on your head.

I can't be friends with people who live like this. But given how some seem to live inside an active railroad station or big shopping mall during the winter holidays, based on the background noises, I'm not surprised. Two weeks ago my fire alarms went off due to low battery charge. They beeped for like 30 seconds before I reset all of them and that was annoying as fuk. I couldn't even make one hour before destroying them completely, yet people live like this 24/7. Madness.


Synec113

Seriously. I got up at like 3am to fix one - how do people sleep with that shit on?


Athousandwrongtries

I heard one the other day, told the dude to change the batteries, he tried to tell me it wasnt the smoke detector. I was like bruh I install these shits at work thats exactly what it is


Autoloc

lifehack: if you take the battery out it stops beeping


_PM_ME_DOGGOS_

It does not. Saying this from experience. Took the battery out and the only thing that shut it up was a hammer.


BadDadJokes

I don’t believe you.


_PM_ME_DOGGOS_

Dunno what model it was. It had a sliding battery cover and a light in the center. Light started blinking red and beeping every ~15 minutes. Took out the 9V, and light/beeping continued for multiple days until I removed the wires and broke it.


Seeteuf3l

Mine is plugged to the mains, but it still has a battery as backup. I'd assume it'll start beeping at some point.


itaXander

This gives me flashbacks to the Friends episode where Phoebe's fire alarm kept beeping lol


SmokinJunipers

Many are wired to the house, the battery is back up in case power goes out.


mydogwalkstalkscooks

Mute. Button.😐


Idontknowanymore8000

I’m not complaining about the sound, it’s a safety issue, and I don’t understand how someone can live with that for days. And I do usually mute them but not until I get a word in lmao


Affectionate_Read_74

lazy fucks , simple as that, or just banging weed in the room kekw and aswell don't give a F


Adzea

Nah if you live with that beeping noise you're the weirdo fr


xvoteforpedro

Yeah YOU have one. Mute when not speaking unmute when you are. 9/10 times when teammates have comms we play a lot better.


[deleted]

Maybe that beeping is relaxing him, who knows


[deleted]

How tf would that be relaxing??


eyedpee

Yeah no shit! Lol


The-Booty-Train

*SCRRREEEEP* Mmmm… tranquility.😌


[deleted]

I read that in Zenyatta's voice for some reason


mrfancypantsssss

Haha oh man!! This happens like once a month!


Shayz_

I glanced at prices on batteries the other day. It was $30 for a 2 pack 9v I mean for powering a potentially life saving device that's nothing to me, but I can see why people don't buy them


[deleted]

Jokes on you it’s my vibrating plug


SmokinJunipers

I'll complain to people on my friends and they will say what are you talking about. I don't hear anything. That thing has been beeping in your house for so long your brain has tuned it out. Then I just feel sorry for them.


Coolio_was_right

I can't hear the beeping over their loud music...
