Miscellaneous: Today, I set 3 alarms so I wouldn't miss an early morning event...

By regrettably well rested - 14/05/2017 16:00 - United States - Clearfield

Today, I set 3 alarms so I wouldn't miss an early morning event I was volunteering at. After I slept through the first one, my roommate turned the other two off without waking me up because they were annoying. I missed the event. FML

Today, my roommate set her extremely loud alarm clock for 5am and continued to hit the snooze button every ten minutes until 7:30. FML

Today, I set an alarm to wake up for a football match. I woke up after it finished. Turns out, I set my alarm to 12:15 p.m. instead of a.m. I ended up missing one of my team's best performances. FML

Today, I was late to school for the third time this week because my alarm clock didn't go off. I clearly remembered setting it, so I videotaped myself sleeping. It turns out I've been turning off my alarm clock in my sleep. FML

Today, my roommate's extremely loud and obnoxious alarm went off six times, waking me up each time, before she finally gave up on hitting the snooze button and went back to sleep for good. FML

Today, like every day, I woke up at 3 in the morning because my roommate needs "a three hour warning" before his real alarm goes off. His alarm is a constant beeping noise which he always ignores for a good 10 minutes before finally getting up and turning it off. FML

Keep it down

Today, I was woken up at 2 a.m. by my roommates throwing a party down the hall. I put some earplugs in so I could get some rest for my 8 a.m final. They worked really well, so well in fact that I didn't hear my alarm and woke up at noon. FML

Today, I heard my alarm go off, dragged myself out of bed, had breakfast and got ready for work. As I was heading out the door I checked the time again. It was 1:41 AM. Apparently my alarm never actually went off. FML

Wake up Boo

Today, I set an elaborate alarm system to wake up early. I woke up to the soothing sounds of birds chirping, only to discover that I had accidentally set my ringtone to bird noises instead of an actual alarm. I missed my morning meeting. FML

Clever

Today, I thought I'd been really clever by setting my alarm ten minutes earlier to get up on time. I did wake up ten minutes earlier… then promptly fell back asleep for another hour. FML

Where are you?

By Budhvaraddams - 30/01/2023 18:30

Today, I had an important test at 7 in the morning, so I sat the alarm at 6 o'clock and fell asleep. Later I was woken up by a call from my friend asking me why I didn't show up for the test. It was 9:30. I'd sat the alarm at 6:00 PM. FML

Your roommate is an idiot. Wouldn't a cranky you be a lot more annoying than your alarms? Had they woken you and got you out of the door, they might have had a few hours of peace.

Roommate of the year... did the thought that maybe there were three alarms set for a reason not cross his mind? ?

FY roommate's L! That's got to be as annoying AF to have a roommate who has slept through alarms enough times that you set multiple ones. Just because you sleep through them doesn't mean he or she can. Have enough consideration to come up with a way of getting yourself up that doesn't ruin your roommate's sleep!

OP's alarm setting habits doesn't justify the roommate sabotaging their alarms and making them miss an event. For all they could have know, they could have been going to the doctor for treatment for a major illness and they could have essentially signed OP's death warrant by doing so. If they REALLY wanted the alarms off, they could have woken OP up, given that they were presumably within feet of them while turning off he alarms. At that point, the roommate was just being passive-aggressive instead of behaving like and adult as discussing the matter and alternative solutions with OP. Since that's, you know, a huge reason why people are encouraged to live in a dorm at least once- it encourages them to be Actual Adults™ instead of acting like a spoiled bratty preteen throwing a tantrum.

I think comparing turning an alarm off to literally murder is a bit dramatic, what do you think?

Is it possible you slept through the roommate's attempt to wake you up as well?

Dormmates? Bunkbeds? Or did he enter your room? I had a dormmate in college and they slept thru all their alarms. So did I. We had a system. You should get a system. Hope your roommate improves or moves out, or moves on past childish acts.
