Customer's motion detector kept tripping and it was just a spiderweb inside the lens. Anyone else waste time on something that dumb this month?

Driving an hour for a spiderweb sounds rough, but it's not that big a deal.

@luna261, you ever driven an hour each way for a false alarm? That's two hours of your day gone. How is that not a big deal when you could have been doing something else?

So how many other false alarms did that customer have before you made the hour drive out there?
