You are now free to return to the building
The most annoying beeping occurs outside of our apartment, almost nightly. There is a panel in the outer hallway that indicates that the smoke detector has been triggered. As far as we can tell there is no reason for this alarm being triggered, mostly because we’ve yet to be smoked out of our apartment. Also, one day a few weeks ago, I awoke to the fire detector in our bedroom flashing and a single round of the alarm. I shook Bruce and said, “HEY!” Bruce looked at me and replied, “Don’t worry, it doesn’t apply to us.”
Apparently I accepted his explanation and we both rolled over and went back to bed.
Um, where did he learn that fire alarms don’t apply to him and when did it become okay for me to accept his declaration that the fire alarm does not apply to me?
