Minor Inconveniences

September 28, 2007

I realize that smoke detectors will pick up large amounts of water vapor in the air, owing to water molecules being polar. I also realize that smoke detectors are good things to have around -- y'know, that whole "not dying in a fire" thing. I get it, really. But why does every residence I've ever seen have a smoke detector right outside the bathroom? Having the smoke detector go off ten feet away from you just because you took a slightly-hotter-than-average shower is not a good way to start your day.
