My Family

[Greg]

My mother has a stair lift in the house. It beeps when it is unhappy. When I arrived, it was beeping. I did all my tricks to get it to stop beating. I resorted to calling the stair lift manufacturer about what to do. I did a trouble shoot session over the phone. I read the codes on the panel. I moved it up and down the stairs. Nothing. At one point, they asked me if it could possibly not be the stair lift but a broken smoke alarm. They asked this because the machine would still chirp even when the machine was turned off. I was incensed. I was standing right next to the lift. I could hear it plainly coming from the chair. Losers. The lift company representative agreed to send someone out to swap the batteries since they were pretty old.

Yeah, turns out there was a smoke alarm chirping right behind me the whole time.....
