ARRGH!

It's quarter to four in the morning. And the goddamn smoke alarm above the staircase in our building is going off. And as far as I can tell, I'm the only person awake

And the fucking roof is too high for me to turn it off.

I hate smoke alarms.

I don't particularly fancy getting evicted for property damage.

It could've... gotten loose by itself? Dunno, will it stop anytime soon if you don't?

Depends how the batteries are going.

At the moment I am listening to music on my headphones.

Ah, okay. Maybe you'll get lucky and someone else will switch it off... there isn't anything on fire out there, right? Just in case...

Not that I can tell. And the alarm in our apartment tends to get set off when you burn the toast, so they might be just a little oversensitive.

Argh, these over-sensitive firealarms are really annoying!

When I was in England as a visiting student, the ones in my college used to go off all the time when people had burnt their food and lighted a candle on a birthday cake or stuff.

Have you got earplugs? Earplugs plus a pillow over your head sort of help to ignore the terrible noise.

I'm used to the one in our apartment going off for odd reasons. The one in the hallway, not so much. And no, I don't have any earplugs.

Err, then listening to music on your earphone while waiting for a neighbour to have mercy on you all and switch the damn thing off is probably the best strategy... :(
