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.

You reckon that's bad... My Dad has a remote monitored smoke alarm. And it's ridiculously sensitive. It was set off by something when he was in the shower a few weeks ago--he told me he came out of the shower to discover the fire department in his driveway with sirens flashing thinking his house was on fire.

On top of that, he gets charged $300 a pop for false alarms. :(

I take it you have no ladder and it can't be got at by standing on a chair? Can you maybe fashion a long poking device to deactivate it without knocking it down?

The boarding house of my school had alarms like that - we had the someone in the shower setting them off thing, as well.

And I have neither a ladder, and a chair wouldn't be nearly high enough, also, it's above the damned staircase. And I don't know which button to poke to turn it off.
