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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, 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 went to bed early, feeling responsible. At 2 a.m., I woke up in a panic because I forgot to set my alarm. While fixing it, I actually turned it off completely. I overslept, missed work, and proved once again that I should never trust myself. 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, the alarm on my phone went off. I picked it up, hit snooze, and dropped it back on my desk without looking. I woke up an hour later to find that I had dropped it directly in a full glass of water. FML
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
Today, I'm on holiday, but my alarm clock isn't. It rang at 6 o'clock. FML
Today, I bought a new alarm clock because I kept sleeping through my phone alarms. The first morning, it went off exactly when planned. I promptly turned it off, went back to sleep for “5 minutes,” and woke up 3 hours later. The clock had been set correctly. I had just gone straight back to sleep. FML
Today, I woke up an hour and half late to work, sleeping through nine alarms, then fell and injured my knee going into work. I'd forgotten my work ID and door card, and misplaced my coffee mug. It's only 9 a.m.! FML
Today, my alarm went off. I reached to swat it, missed, slipped, smacked my face on my dresser, and fell on the floor. As I picked myself up off the floor, I hit my head on the open top drawer of my other dresser. In 30 seconds of consciousness, I was attacked by two pieces of furniture. FML

Wouldn't you have set the alarm clock back to your nightstand first?

In a rush (like Noor perceived), seconds count! And setting that alarm clock up is probably not a priority in getting the hell to work!

I have done this before. I left my cellphone on 24 hour time because we use it at work. I woke up and panicked because i thought my phone said 3:30. It was 1330, I worked at 1500 (3pm) that day.

Technically depending on how far north or south you are and the time of year, sunrise can be earlier than 5 am.

I always throw common seance out the window. I prefer uncommon seances.

The sun rises where I live around 4:50 depending on what time of year it is.

You typically have a seance in the dark. I think you mean sense, #49. I guess in your rush to post, you didn't notice your spelling error. Don't any of you people have curtains? It's dark no matter what time I get up, until I open the curtains.

It could have been 9:05 and landed upside down. Where you would have been late and thought you were fine. Also to #1. She could live in basement. Or have shades that would have blocked that

Wouldn't it have been 2:06? Oh well FYL I guess for losing sleep.

Personally, I think there's almost no better feeling in the world than waking up after what you thought was a full night's sleep only to discover you can go back to sleep :)

It's fairly easy to end up not paying attention to the colon. Heck, I'm looking at a clock right now that the colon is blinking in and out on, so a quick glance at the wrong time and I wouldn't even see it.

And then you wake up after and it's 10 minutes later than when you were supposed to be gone.
