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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 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 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, my mom decided to try her new taser on me while I was asleep on the couch. FML
Today, my daughter decided to wake me up by putting the vacuum in my hair and turning it on. 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, my mom made up a new game. She thinks it's hilarious to hide my brother's creepy Batman toy around the house to creep me out. This has been going on for hours and I still scream every time. FML
Today, it's my sixteenth birthday and my mom promised me she'd buy me a car. She came home with a toy lego car. FML
Today, I woke up screaming. Why? Well, I was complaining to my dad yesterday about how I always hit the snooze button and just roll over when my alarm goes off, and how that results in me being late for morning classes. My dad thought he'd help out by placing a mousetrap on the snooze button. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I suggest it's better to return it and get a normal alarm clock.

You could "accidentally" drop the car in water.

LOL It's a "Clocky"!! I got one for my sister 3 years ago and she hates it. >=D In all honesty, i would too.. and I'd sleep with a hammer under my pillow.

Considering your mom went to such an extreme, i'm gonna go out on a limb and say YDI. be more responsible and get your ass out of bed... Without her help.

OP deserved it for needing the alarm clock in the first place. I don't understand why people can just get up when their alarm goes off. Besides, pressing the snooze button isn't worth it because the quality of the sleep gotten after pressing snooze isn't beneficial. You will end up being more tired in the morning than you would have been if you had just gotten up when the alarm first went off.

116 - Your argument is paradoxical. if you don't understand why people can get up when the alarm rings, I would assume that you can't get up when the alarm rings.

He could rig it to 'splode. It's what I'd do. Tell her it was a faulty battery.

Yeah I always sleep through my alarms even if they're sirens...

I suggest OP invests in earbuds. May not completely get rid of the noise, but it might help.

Or, instead of hoping the earbuds don't fall out and possibly having to pay for the earbuds, OP could just turn if off at night b4 going to bed.

My brother could use this. He's 19 and still in high school. Why? Because he misses 90% of his classes. How? By sleeping in. I've never been a morning person. My only working statagy: nag to myself about how I'll regret not getting up right now!!!!

I have that alarm clock. It's called Clocky. I found it pretty cool and I am a late sleeper.

I agree, I need one of those! :/
peachesncreem 21
I want one too. It'd be awesome to use as pay back for a certain sibling of mine.
Cazzybum 11
There's a similar thing that sends a little spinning copter top flying around the room and the alarm doesn't go off until you catch the thing and put it back on the base. Brilliant!

I have to find one for my boyfriend. Whenever his alarm goes off, he turns it off so he can 'wake up peacefully'. Which often result in him falling back afsleep.

My little sister has one of those. She sleeps like a log and it's pretty affective to get her out of bed.

It could be the only way I get out of bed in the morning...

Actually, mothers and fathers all get indoctrinated into a top secret society upon the birth of their first child. We meet monthly to discuss the latest um...uh... Hm, I've said too much. Come over here for a minute so we can, erm, talk. *grabs chloroform*

Well now you will actually get out of bed, I always just hit snooze on by bedside iPod.
abbybailey204 19
Atleast her method isn't pouring hot water over your face.
cookeemonster 7
Ahahaha. Is this wisdom from experience?
abbybailey204 19
Ya, on weekends I don't like to get up before noon, so my mom doesn't even bother trying to wake up, she just goes straight to the hot water on my face
perdix 31
My Mama loved me. She just used ice water!
