Same! Only I was looking at mine 🤣

polarsystem · 07/09/2025 15:02

We had 7 devices go off at once!

exLtEveDallas · 07/09/2025 15:03

Weird. Mine went off, DHs didn't

nannynick · 07/09/2025 15:03

About 20 went off around me, sitting in a cafe.
Mine worked this time, didn’t last time.

Norugratsatall · 07/09/2025 15:03

Yep! Frightened the fucking life out of me….phone was 8 inches from me.

GellerYeller · 07/09/2025 15:03

Multiple devices going off here. Wonder what happens if your phone is connected in the car?

Idstillratherbepaddleboarding · 07/09/2025 15:03

It was quite dramatic wasn’t it? DH got his bang on 3:00 but I don’t get mine until 3:02 just when I was getting offended they forgot me 😂.

mrsjg · 07/09/2025 15:04

Made me jump too 🤣

Wolfiefan · 07/09/2025 15:04

Me too. Mine has never gone off on any tests before. Bloody did this time.

WonderfulSmith · 07/09/2025 15:04

I forgot and was listening to a podcast. I can confirm that it works through headphones.

Me too! Nearly threw it across the room 😂

incognitomouse · 07/09/2025 15:04

I was driving. I think my soul left my body.

GentleSheep · 07/09/2025 15:05

Mine didn't work again! DP's phone gave me a fright!

rainbowstardrops · 07/09/2025 15:06

I was just coming on to say that I didn’t think it was very loud!
I’d just walked in from the kitchen and picked my phone up to check the time on my phone and that’s when it went off. I’m not sure I’d have heard it if I was in another room 😬 Oh and my iPad didn’t go off. Not sure if it should have done?

Hoppinggreen · 07/09/2025 15:06

DDog not happy

This is why I turned off the Bluetooth to my hearing aids!!

Togetheragain45 · 07/09/2025 15:06

I was sewing and pricked my finger. Damn annoying.

Bonbon21 · 07/09/2025 15:06

Still waiting...

EmpressSisi · 07/09/2025 15:06

I had completely forgot about the test 🫣😬

Strangely, my husband’s didn’t go off and he was complaining about it, only for it to off at 3:01 (and it made me jump again 🤣)

Bjorkdidit · 07/09/2025 15:06

Mine wasn't as loud as I expected. I'm listening with earbuds and was worried about blasted eardrums but it was fairly mild.

LizzieSiddal · 07/09/2025 15:06

Mine only beeped 3 times and not very loudly.

Is that normal?!

1000YearsRumination · 07/09/2025 15:06

My fault for not checking the news, I was holding my phone in my hand and almost chucked it across the room 😂

Bonbon21 · 07/09/2025 15:06

Barbie222 · 07/09/2025 15:06

Yeah, you wouldn’t miss that!

TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne · 07/09/2025 15:08

Mine wasn't loud at all.
Last time, it scared the living daylights out of me.
