Why do smoke alarms only go off at night?

I had two more hours to sleep. :cry:

1. I use mine as a kitchen timer

"Breakfast is ready"

:rofl:

2. Because you bought the enviromentally-unfriendly batttery-powered ones

And not the clean, green solar-powered ones!

3. Actually, this is the scary part.

The one that went both yesterday and just now is the hard wired one. Beeped three times and that was it. :shrug:

What a PITA, though. Now I have to start working to pass the time. LOL.

9. Hard wired? Even worse!

The electricity they use is from fossile fuels, mostly COAL!!!

Why do you have Mother Nature? :cry:

4. Not always...

The smoke alarms at my sister's house go off at meal times for some odd reason..In fact, its how her family know that dinner is ready...:rofl:

5. Because the batteries cool down

If the batteries are already low, the additional minuscule drop in voltage will set off the "battery low" indicator.

I know, it's a PITA.

6. These are hard wired. And, it actually went off

without the 'chirp, chirp, chirp'. :shrug:

7. Oh. This happened to a friend of mine. Could it be a bug?

I mean, like a gnat or a spider or something?

10. I think it's dust. We've been doing a lot of moving things around

and Mr. has been painting quite a bit. He vacuumed the offenders, so let's hope it won't happen again.

I am so not a morning person.
