Feckin batteries

Why the fuck can't the batteries in my cordless phone (land-line) be designed to not only last ages (which is good), but also NOT always run out of power at 2:30 in the dead of night? Is that the price I must pay for good battery life? I swear that not once in the time I have had these phones (about 4 years) have they ever run out during the day. Not once.

Last night:

*BEEP-BEEEEEEEP*

(long silence)

*BEEP-BEEEEEEEP*

*sleepy grunt*

(long pause)

*BEEP-BEEEEEEEP*

"For FUCKS sake!" (say out loud without moving your mouth much, hardly at all, for a realistic representation as to the sound)

*stomp* *stomp* *stomp* *stomp* *stomp*

*BEEP-BEEEEEEEP*

"Where the FUCK is it?"

*BEEP-BEEEEEEEP*

(fumble on sofa)

*BEEP-BEE.......*

*clatter as phone goes into charger*

"Fucking thing"

*stomp* *stomp* *stomp* *stomp* *stomp*

*gaflump* into bed

(sigh)


I swear a lot when I have been woken up, it appears.

Weird Sosu? I don't know of one single phone that doesn't do that. I have the same problem with my cell phone. It has this annoyingly dejected "cluck-eeep" of an electrical hiccup that it keeps aurally pissing out at oh yes - night.
