I used to walk my dog around the neighborhood and there was a house a few blocks over with a beeping smoke detector … for months! Idk how they lived like that, but every time I walked past I could still hear it.

If it is older people living there they may not have been able to hear the beeping

Nah, the only people I ever saw coming out of there were teenagers and middle aged parents

I did a job at this super huge house (2000s, idk exactly). Four stories. I had to be on each story four 20-30 minutes & EVERY smoke detector was beeping. This family had lived there for a while, the house had that lived in feel they had kids running around toys all over. I even made mention to the beeps "Sounds like you guys need some batteries huh! Hehe" She gave me a "🤨🤨🤨" then said "Okay I'll be upstairs if you need anything:)" Like her look to me didn't say she thought I was rude, but that she was completely dumbfounded by why I would say such an off the wall remark. It was so weird ...
