Everything sets the stupid thing off. Even turning the lights on and off.

You can’t access the button to switch it off without getting it out of the box.

I currently have mine stuffed in a suitcase to stop it crying. Annoying thing Angry

Thankyou!

Noted!! Wink

Soubriquet · 30/10/2018 14:34

Trust me. It’s quite disturbing to be asleep and suddenly hear “argh argh”

Or even worse...when you’re trying to dtd. Extremely offputting Grin

Is this a Santa present that you're hiding?

Must be annoying if it's that sensitive. Thanks for the heads up!

HauntedForestier · 30/10/2018 14:36

soubriquet Grin hilarious!

Reminds me of Stinky the garbage truck a few years ago. Pushing a trolley around Tesco with it in, and then the bus home, the slightest movement made it say "I'm Stimky, are you". Got a few funny looks.

Thank God it doesn't record....

DontDribbleOnTheCarpet · 30/10/2018 14:39

Is it too late to return it, OP? You know it's only going to get worse...

Soubriquet · 30/10/2018 14:39

Yep a Santa present for DS.

Hope he likes it. I’ll just be grateful to turn the stupid thing off

We've got ds one for xmas, took me days to work out where the hell the noise was coming from. That velcro is VERY well hidden., had to open the box to find it Angry

Soubriquet · 30/10/2018 14:43

Least I’m not the only one

You would have thought if it was that sensitive, there would be an easier off switch

Can’t you take out the batteries or does it not work like that?

Soubriquet · 30/10/2018 14:56

Nope. In order to get the batteries out, I need to access the battery pack. Which means opening the box

I read that as the “funeral dinosaur” and wondered what on earth it was!! (I need sleep!!!)

Soubriquet · 30/10/2018 15:05

I can imagine a dinosaur walking in front of a hearse now

Would certainly turn some heads

HauntedForestier · 30/10/2018 15:43

Um, maybe the dinosaur might eat his way out of the box on poor Santa.

dingdongdigeridoo · 30/10/2018 16:08

Can’t be as bad as the bloody Furby. Every time I clean DS’s room it wakes up and starts complaining that it’s hungreeee. So it’s a lot like having kids really.
