When an alarm clock got stuck in their living room wall, a couple thought the battery would die after a few months. That was 13 years ago, and it still goes off every single day; KDKA’s Dave Crawley reports.

Something’s wrong with me. I enjoyed that. 🙂
I would consider them stupid lazy window lickers.
The guy’s not very bright. The clock has to be stuck in between the wall studs which are generally 16 inches apart. If he knows where he dropped it into the wall, all he has to do is go to the bottom of the wall to find it. They make oversized electrical covers these days – cut a small hole in the wall, remove the clock and cover the hole with the “blank” electrical cover.
Or make a big deal out of it to prove yourself an idiot and call a local TV station to tell the story of your clock in the wall.
After 5 or 6 years I might have gotten the ambition to do something about that.
If you’re a Person Who Likes to Forget Time and Relax, You Would Kick a Hole in that Wall !
Thank goodness he didn’t use the family pet or one of the grandkids.
Ok. I want to know what brand of battery is in that clock. I’d be happy with life time batteries.
Hey, wasn’t there a story on iotwR a long while back about a guy who has an incandescent light bulb that is still going after 20 or 40 years? Seems it was on 24/7/365 too.
Wait, here it is. 109 years and still glowing.

They killed that technology. Ya can’t make much money if ya sell bulbs that light family homes for 4 generations.
These people are stupid on steroids.They are probably DemoRats.
Idiots. That wouldn’t have lasted 2 days in my house. Reminds me of the folks we bought our house from. In the master bathroom shower, the hot and cold water were reversed. They lived with it for 15 years because they didn’t want to tear out the shower wall to fix it. LOL! The 1st week we lived here, I turned off the water, went under the house, found the two water lines going up to the shower, cut them, switched them around and coupled them back together, turned the water back on. Took me 10 minutes and cost me 50 cents.

This whole story sounds like bull shit
A utility knife will go through that 3/8″ drywall very easily. The guy is just incredibly lazy.
My sawzall eats up dry wall!
“Hey! Look at ME!”
“Hey! Look at ME!”
“Hey! Look at ME!”
“Hey! Look at ME!”
“Hey! Look at ME!”
“I’m a fukkin MORON! Look at ME!”

Move. Or burn the house down.
Overaction
I vote we burn the house down.
My reaction to guests would be “What ringing? I don’t hear ringing.”
How did these braindead jackasses survive this long?
Billy,
Do you mess with the gaslight when they’re alone in a room too?
And they still can’t get up on time on Mondays.
Blame that idiocy on the polluted air and water spewed from those old Pittsburgh steel mills.
And I thought Bill Nye would be the stupidest git in the news this year.
You mean you can cut a hole in a wall?
