I even used a ladder.

Update: it started beeping again, so this is no longer a dull topic. My apologies everybody.

    I’m impressed there was a ladder involved. I usually try to do it on my tippy toes before giving up and grabbing the nearest thing that looks like it might hold my weight. The ladders are all the way out in the garage after all

      It’s always the nearest chair for me if I can’t reach, but to be honest the only one I couldn’t reach I didn’t put back up. It was on the wall separating the kitchen, so I kind of just set it on a table at the end of the wall, it not being on the wall at height is probably a negative, but I figured if it is closer to where the smoke has to wrap around the wall, it balances out.

      I’ve tested it by making smash burgers… Still sets the damn thing off every time.

      Also make me stop making smash burgers, because I was tired of moving the smoke detector outside, which my spouse seems to think is not the proper way to deal with to much smoke in the kitchen

      Not so dull but overturned milk crates get rickety around 250 pounds of weight on top, ask me how I know.

          A certain nameless fat guy stepped up onto a milk crate at work and proceeded to crash through it cutting his legs up to the shins.

            Sounds like a time a lot of expletives find their way out of certain nameless guy’s mouth. Poor guy.
