I'm pretty sure I'd rather die of smoke inhalation than continue to be woken up two to three times a night by the incredibly loud high pitched beep of my house's hardwired smoke detectors demanding new batteries. Why 2 am smoke detectors? Why beep so loudly that I cannot tell which one of 4 smoke detectors is actually beeping and must go up and down a ladder repeatedly in the middle of the night when I am barely competent to walk in heels? Why not some kind of continuous beeping instead of once every hour or so, ensuring that I am unable to replace the correct battery and will just have gotten back to sleep when you beep again?
The only thing saving the fire detection system from having a hammer taken to it is that I am even more upset with my alarm clock, which could not interrupt a scary dream about alien invasions, but managed to go off in the middle of a dream about making out with shirtless Ryan Reynolds. I'm sure I should probably be more worried about why my subconcious feels that making out with Ryan Reynolds is threat response behavior, but mostly I'm happy to have found a Homeland Security initiative I can really support.

oh jesus maddie. i feel your pain. we once had a smoke alarm that would not stop beeping irregularly in the middle of the night. reset button, new batteries, the whole bit. we disconnected it from the wall (wires and all because it STILL beeped when we took the batteries out). recently the beeping started again in our new digs and at three in the morning i drove down to the 24 hour grocery store to get batteries. after we fixed that one the beeping happened AGAIN on a different detector and always always in the middle of the night and we had no idea which one it was. wow, that's a long comment. look at how psyched cookie monster looks to be on fire...
