Today, I woke up to find that my parents had replaced my regular alarm clock with a walking one that requires you to get up and find it. The alarm was set to 5:00AM, which would have been fine if it wasn't the weekend. FML

Today, my parents bought me an alarm clock that runs away from you while beeping obnoxiously when you hit snooze. I just had ankle surgery and am unable to walk. FML
Today, I woke up and saw that my alarm clock had fallen on the floor. It read 9:05 am. I panicked because I was late for work. As I frantically got ready, I went to pick my alarm clock up to place it back on my nightstand when I realized it was upside down. The actual time was 5:06. FML
Today, my mother surprised me with a new alarm clock. It's attached to a toy car which races around my room with obnoxious sirens going at full blast until I crawl out of bed and turn it off. She says this will be a regular thing. FML
Today, my dad reactivated a digital clock we had lying around, and accidentally set an alarm on it. For 1 a.m.. So guess who went hunting for that noise in the middle of night. And guess who banished the thing to the living room, then forgot about it, and slept on the sofa in said living room. Or tried to. FML
Today, I'm on holiday, but my alarm clock isn't. It rang at 6 o'clock. FML
Today, I set my alarm for AM instead of PM. Woke up at 5AM to realize I have nothing to do. FML
Today, I set my alarm to wake up early for work. It turns out I set it for PM instead of AM. I woke up to my boss calling me, asking if I was still alive. FML
Today, I fully intended to start going to the gym so I set my alarm an hour early so I could go before work and get it over with. Alas, when the alarm went off and I saw that horrible "5 a.m." on my phone, my brain put me straight back to sleep without my consent. I ended up being late for work. 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
Today, my phone alarm went off at 3 AM. I don't remember setting it, but it turns out I'd somehow activated an old "Wake up for a meteor shower" reminder. Despite it being the wrong day by months, I got up, looked outside, and only then did my brain kick into gear and I realized it was set for the wrong date. FML

Sounds great - you get awakened and some exercise at the same time.

Haha. Replace theirs with a real, live rooster! **** a doodle doo motherfuckers.

Roosters crow at all times during the night, not just the morning. That's just my bit of useless knowledge. :)

Is that your weekday wake-up time? They say waking up the same time every day is good for you. I don't do it, so let me know how it goes.

Ah, a perfect time to start your trumpet practice.

No need for a trumpet when the African lady behind me has a pet rooster :l (and yes, African, not African-American)

Geekyandproud? And still you write done instead of did..

Geeky is not synonymous with good grammar. Trust me. A rather surprising amount of geeks have an awful grasp of spelling and grammar.

To clarify that since my phone will not let me edit: I am a geek, and I am often surprised how bad my friends grammar and spelling can be.

#25, 34, when someone talks about murder, you might not want to point out their grammar errors. I love the English language, but I'm not willing to die for the correct tense. (The misuse of "literally" is another story.)
