Baby monitors..
Ah. Well, it was like this you see... I lived in a little terraced house, in an area popular with young families. When the baby Ott3r arrived, amidst a storm of primary coloured plastic and weird things that I still haven't worked out the use of, we bought a baby monitor. It turns out that there are only so many frequencies, and after rushing upstairs to calm the cries of mysteriously sleeping baby on a couple of occasions, we figured out that someone was using OUR frequency. Well, something had to be done. So, in the wee small hours of the morning... I picked up the "transmit" bit of the baby monitor, and started speaking into it....

And so it was that a house a few doors up the street suddenly lit up as the lights were switched on, and (I can only imagine) the concerned parents rushed to baby's room to find the source of a creepy babylike voice that was repeating the words "Satan is my Maaaaaster, Satan is my Maaaaaster.."

I'm not proud.

Wait...
If you weren't hearing your own baby, that means your receiver wasn't listening to the same frequency that your transmitter was broadcasting, meaning your transmitter wouldn't have been on the same frequency as their receiver. Meaning they couldn't have heard you...?

Unless your receiver was hearing BOTH babies.

when did he say
that he wasn't hearing his own baby monitor? Another one can still interfere when your listening to your own

You should be.......
That's awesome!
I'm afraid of our baby monitors. In the 2 years I've been a mother I've been ridiculously conscious of them, heard too many horror stories.....

Baby alarms don't work
We bought one, but she still got pregnant...

Seriously though, major clickage for a great story. I'd heard of people hearing their neighbours talking (and shagging, thought that's probably wishful thinking), but it hadn't occurred to me to SEND that way too!

I've also heard of someone who got caught out because he forgot that wifey could hear what he was saying to the baby: "Ah, does diddums need changing? Did mummy forget to do it? Yes, mummy's a fat lazy lump, isn't she? Yes she is. Daddy should have shagged Laura at work when he had the chance, shouldn't he? ..."
