Me too.

And I've lived in apartments with overly sensitive smoke detectors,
wired-in. If you take a plastic grocery bag and cover the detector,
winding the extra around to hold the bag on, it will keep it from going
berserk when you cook/shower/vacuum/change the cat litter. And it's
harder to forget to remove an ugly plastic bag than it is to plug
something back in. Not that I'd have any experience with that sort of
thing, mind you. ;-)
