So many of us know about Smoke Detectors and Carbon Monoxide detectors, Right? Or do we? I just had someone call me, (I work at an answering service) and she said that her Carbon Monoxide detector was going off. Okay that is pretty straight forward. Then she asked me, "Should I move it by an open window?" okay now I'm confused.... Then she says because it says on it if alarm sounds MOVE TO FRESH AIR.... I'm trying NOT to laugh at her now! I had to tell her "NO, I think that means YOU move to fresh air.. not you move the item." Do you KNOW what you should do when your carbon monoxide detector goes off.. do you know what it means?

But what if the Detector doesn't have CALL FIRE DEPT written on it.. these young people can not think on their own.

I'm a firm believer in removing warning labels from things and just letting nature take it's course of weeding out the idiots in the world.
