Rubber gLove (part 2)
The place I used to live was a very big house I have the whole ground floor so its basically a flat I am the only one that doesn’t have to share.
The next floor occupied by a retired man who lost his wife few years back and ran into financial difficulties (awful habit of wandering and once found him in my living room so I have the doors locked since then)
And at the top is occupied by two lesbians one of them is really nice to talk to and known her for years but I can’t stand her partner well more like she can’t stand me.
Very impatience woman and I can never understand people who have a tongue pierced and are talking like as they have a lisps.
My auntie husband from Germany called Ralf used to stay there every now and again when he has to work near Chester.
I very often let him have the use of the flat when I am away on holiday.. one time he was staying I was coming back after a night club and I crept slowly past the living room to get a drink of water ( best way to prevent hangovers) taking care not to wake him I switched light on in kitchen and there was a hand from a ceiling .. Of course I jumped out of my skin and dropped the glass!
To which he woke up when I said “what’s the fucks that!”
So that’s the reason why rubber glove was left there to cover smoke alarm.
And to be honest I couldn’t care less if it was ringing like mad. but to the other residents they are happy to have it left up there as they got sick of hearing that I am cooking dinner again.
hehehe that really made me laugh!
You’re still not getting off that easily…dresses and rubber gloves fetish…I dread what’s coming next…
LOL, that’s funny. I’m surprised that he didn’t just disconnect the battery. :o)
@Erick
The battery is taken out but its hard wired to a panel in hallway.
Foe safety reasons battery is there in case of a power cut!
Its amazing how many people tell me that as your not the first and you wont be the last either.. as if I haven’t the brain to think of that!
Fintan,
Smile, I didn’t mean to imply that you didn’t have a brain. I truly apologize if it came across as me saying that it was you that didn’t think of disconnecting the battery.
In my original message, I was referring to Ralf.
But I can see that the glove was a smart solution.
I totally understand about the hardwired thing, that sucks. I’d suggest that you clip one of the wires going to the speakers… And then when you move out, reconnect it. But since the smoke alarm is hardwired, chances are, you’ll be cooking and the entire building will be going off without your knowledge.
If it’s totally isolated from all the other alarms, then it should be no problem to give the speaker wire a gentle ’snip’.
Otherwise, if you could locate the sensor inside the alarm, you could use playdough or poster putty and stick it in the sensor sniffer.
Erick,
Not to worry I didn’t say you were implying its one of those automatic things that people say.
Like I have kids now and when they lose things “I say where did you leave it?”
My son reply is “if I knew I wouldn’t be looking for it”
