841,000 views? How?

Seriously, most of my Tiktok stuff has under 1000 views (including my I love latex post), and yet resetting a fire alarm call point without the key is heading rapidly towards a million views! Yeah I’m taken aback too! I know which I enjoyed making more… 😘

I had a faulty fire alarm panel recently. When I contacted the manufacturer they asked me to return the base card for repair.
