Disconnect it but leave it where it is. Fit another in a discrete location and say it is a smoke alarm.

after 10 minutes of telling me she doesnt understand and needs me to explain, me trying to rephrase, new examples, heated debate and finally yelling she ends with 'i dont know why you keep going on about it'.

wtf.

Your first mistake: her not understanding yes right! Is she Foreign??


Assuming not then she understands the words, just not your POV. That is her prerogative. Yours is to turn on your heel and walk. Trust me

That still leaves the "Have you turned the heating off its freezing in here" debate!

Often when I go abroad on business, I am greeted with "oh it was so lovely and warm while you were gone" - yes the thermostat is on 27+
