Any meeting where:a) minutes are taken,b) someone connects a video projector to their laptop and shows everyone a spreadsheet,c) people make sure to bring a little cup of water from the watercooler...is basically a meeting where nothing of consequence will happen and no important decisions will be made.

There are two conference room meeting scenes that spring to my mind: the first is the scene with the computer software sales guy in Fight Club, and the second is (possibly real) from The Kids Are Alright, where Townshend is discussing the future of the group, and suddenly Moon gets bored and does a handstand on the table to illustrate Pete's thought that the The Who were going to end up as a cabaret act.

After ten years, got working smoke alarms by moving to a house with working smoke alarms. There was a functioning smoke alarm sitting on a shelf for most of those ten years just needing a battery and to be fitted.
