Don't you just love it when they only take care of their own needs and consider that to be their contribution, doing their part? Maybe once a month, my ex would do one load of his own laundry ... then expected me to thank him! Did anyone ever thank ME when I did laundry? Yeah, right! Don't get me started!
At least you found out where the beeping was coming from! That would drive me up the wall! I remember once the kids and I were home on a summer day and suddenly started hearing a music box-sounding version of "Jingle bells" playing! It was just loud enough to be really annoying and we could not figure out which direction it was coming from! This was at our old house, way out in the country, surrounded by woods, so there's no way it was coming from a neighbors house. With three of us searching for over an hour, we finally pinned it down to my daughters room, to a cardboard box on a top shelf in her closet. The box was full of Christmas decorations, including the Christmas cards we had received that year (I hate to throw them away). And in with them was one of those cards that play music - "Jingle Bells" - when it was opened up. It was still closed, folded up in the bottom of the box, underneath several other objects. I have no idea how those things work but this one had suddenly decided to start playing music all on it's own, after seven months in the bottom of a cardboard box in the closet! Very festive for July!
