    Understood. I'm used to the regular price point on controllers. But the annoying thing is the last controller I bought...I didn't really play games with it as I stopped playing games for the most part. I just used it primarily for navigation and apps. So, it was lightly used and still started f-ing up in no time at all. But, yea, you get what you pay for.

    People who blow all their yard trimmings into the gutters on the street.

    My neighbor across the street always does his yard work mowing and blowing on Sunday evening promptly at 3PM. Goes until 8pm.
    He even gets on his roof to power blow the pine needles.
    Our guests are always like WTF

    I hate that! My problem is trying to figure out which one is going off, waiting for another loud chirp, and the sound seems to come from every dang one of them. Ugh.

    That's what I was about to say. We have one in every room and it takes me a good 20 minutes to just nail down which one needs batteries.

    Extra annoying when it's 2 in the morning.

    I tried changing the battery in mine and it still beeped. It quits the beep or else it gets the broom again!

    Reeko was so dead on, this happened to me a few months ago at 10:30pm........after figuring out which one it was I replaced the battery and it stopped chirping for about 30 minutes then did it again...................I ended up disconnecting it. And can they make it a tad easier to get a dam battery into it

    This!!!!!!

    Mine are so hard to get a battery into. In fact, I broke one completely trying to get that darn battery in. My frustration was already high leading up to that point, in what seemed like a neverending game of hide-and-seek trying to find out where that loud chirp was coming from. I've given up at times and just replaced batteries one at a time to test later, just to see if the loud chirps finally stop. Trying to get them in there adds to the frustration.

    On the bright side, the broken alarm makes my odds of finding the chirp easier now. :p

    My smoke detectors have an internal battery that's rated for 2 or 3 years or something. When 1 goes out, you go to Home Depot and replace all of them at the same time.

    N64 controllers were the absolute worst.
