Whoever designs fire alarms should be taken out in the woods and shot. Why in the name of Gawd would you make a lifesaving, necessay, REALLY IMPORTANT item that made such a horrible noise that every one in every home I have ever lived in has been smashed to death in a fit of fury and burned toast? This one was still working, although dangling from a wire due to a toast incident. Then the battery got low. And it started freaking out. So I got the tallest bar stool in the house and stood on it on tippy toes (right exactly, I will note, at the edge of the staircase. Great design there.) and after nearly dislocating my shoulder I got the battery out. Which was when I realized that that wire it was hanging by was ELECTRICITY. Removing the battery just freaked it out even worse, and increased the frequency of horrible noises. WHY WAS THERE A FUCKING BATTERY, AND WHY WAS IT SO FUCKING IMPORTANT?
Anyhow, its dead now.
And while I am ranting and raving about pointless shit, people who dry their cups upside-down on a towel. What the fuck? Have you no sense of smell? My new roommate did the dishes yesterday, and today I poured myself a glass of water and nearly puked from the mildew smell. ITS GROSS. DON'T DO THAT.
End of rant.

Um, probably the same idiot who told my first college roomies that it was a good idea to set one off in the middle of the winter (+snow) night while me and the gf were in the middle of it.

It's really sucks when you have one that is overly sensitive. We have one that gets set off by the shower. Nothing like waking everyone in the house up because you forget to take the battery out of the alarm before you shower.
