Made the mistake of throwing the old handset into the kitchen swing bin - one of the bigger ones. This was followed by a ton of kitchen waste/garbage. Now the batteries are running down and it emits 3 evenly spaced beeps every 30 seconds. It's driving me mad (it's one o'clock in the morning) but I don't want to empty the entire bin to get to it. Just gritting my teeth and putting up with it. Hope it stops soon.
Grrrrrr . . . .
Not happy.
Wait... aren't all phones... cordless... ? Was there some pre-historic time where phones used to have...gasp...cords?
Omg. I feel so stupid now because until your response I couldn't figure out what the hell he was going on about. Cordless? A base?? Wtf?
Then I read your comment and I was like "aha! a landline!"
I didn't know people still use those.
