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

Clocky too will follow the path of least resistance, so therefore sleep with your bedroom door open.

Smash the clock and leave the shattered pieces on your parents bed as a warning haha.

This means war. Buy a drumset. Huge bass drum. No less than two crashes. 24" ride. Play it whenever you get the chance.

OP- Here's an idea- move outta your parents' home- then you can wake up anytime you want! But, until then, while you're still attached to the parental teats, you should suck it up, get up in the morning, and do something besides writing fml's to improve yourself. You'll be a better person for it!!

I don't get why you're getting voted down, buddy. Sounds right to me.

Try getting up at 4:30 to take care of a farm, you absolute pussy.

Why? I merely stated that OP does not have to get up early and take care of 200 cows and 57 chickens... With the qord pussy at the end...
