I got a house sitting job over the weekend.

Their house was robbed not too long ago, so they had an alarm system put in. It goes off whenever a door is opened while it's active.

My house has no such system.

Do you see where this is going? Because I didn't.

I swear I almost gave myself a heart attack. Luckily I was able to shut it off quickly and call them so that they knew that nobody was trying to break into the house.

So that was fun.
