Sure. There was a time when my smoke alarm's battery was almost dead at the end of its life. It started beeping intermittently, and the beeps were really faint. I thought it was just a loose connection at first, but when I checked the battery, it was corroded. This is a common issue as batteries age in smoke alarms.
In an office building, the smoke alarms were all on their last legs battery - wise. They would all start beeping at different times, creating chaos. The maintenance staff realized that the batteries had been in there for years. They had to quickly replace all the batteries to avoid any false alarms during important meetings or work hours. It's a good example of how battery - related end - of - life issues in smoke alarms can disrupt normal activities.
One common story is when a smoke alarm starts beeping erratically at the end of its life. It might be due to a worn - out battery or a malfunctioning sensor. People often think it's a false alarm at first, but then realize it's time to replace it.
Well, I remember in a hotel. A family was using a hair dryer near the smoke alarm. The heat from the dryer set it off. Everyone in the hallway got panicked for a moment, but then they realized it was just a false alarm. The family was so embarrassed, and it was really a comical scene.
My neighbor once tried to smoke a cigar indoors and the smoke alarm didn't like it one bit. It went off immediately. He was so startled that he dropped the cigar into a glass of water. His face was priceless as he realized what had happened just because of a little cigar smoke.
Well, there are cases where xanax has caused breathing problems. One man took xanax as prescribed but still developed a condition where his breathing became shallow and labored.

Sure. One success story is about a 7 - year - old boy. He used to wet the bed almost every night. After starting to use a bedwetting alarm, within a few weeks, he began to wake up when the alarm went off.
