Today, for the second week in a row, my brother woke me up in the small hours of the morning begging me to help him figure out the math problem to turn off his phone's stupid-ass app alarm. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I installed an alarm app on my phone. Turns out, to unlock the phone and get the ringing to stop, I have to answer a maths question. It took me ten minutes to get it right. 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
Today, my brother woke me up by trying to light my bed on fire. FML
Today, I slept through my alarm and decided to call in sick. After falling back asleep, I woke up to my younger brother robbing my kitchen. It seems he's been doing this for weeks, every time I leave for work. He won't even give it all back. FML
Today, my phone alarm didn't go off this morning. Furious, I spent ten minutes complaining about technology before realizing I'd carefully set the alarm for 7:00 PM instead of 7:00 AM. The technology was actually innocent for once. FML
Today, I'm an insomniac. My husband knows this but still woke me up throwing a fit because he lost a round on his stupid fucking cellphone game. He has to watch a 15 second ad for another life; meanwhile, I’ll be lucky if I fall back asleep before the sun comes up. FML
Today, after weeks of insomnia, I fell asleep. This would have been great if my brother didn't wake me up at 3 a.m., screaming because his guild finally took down a raid boss. I'm now grounded for thumping him, and have to do all his chores while sleep deprived. FML
Today, my mom woke me up in the middle of the night to make me help my brother write an essay. I read what he wrote so far, gave him my suggestions, and went back to bed. She woke me up 30 mins later because he just sat and stared at his paper instead of fixing anything. Somehow that's my fault. FML
Today, I woke up to the sound of my roommate's alarm clock going off at 6:00 in the morning. His bedroom door was locked, and he was passed out in his bed from drinking too much. It rang continuously for five and a half hours before it finally ran out of batteries. FML
Today, after sacrificing multiple weekends to help my kid brother with his various projects, I asked him to help me with one of mine. He nearly blew up at the thought of losing an evening of his free time on a simple task, so I postponed it to later, which means never. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Whatever, math is hard.

I have that app. Show him how to lower the math difficulty setting on the alarm... I don't doubt your ability to figure it out, but your brother is clearly too stupid to do it himself.

Lock your door? That's what I would do if I were you. But FYL, OP, I'm not a morning person and I know that would irritate me!

He'd probably just knock loudly with the screaming phone alarm in his hand. Pretty hard to sleep through that.

16- yeah you're probably right...maybe ear plugs?

Pepper spray or a tazor comes to mind. Maybe a baseball bat. I HATE being woke up for someone else's stupidity.

Poor Math, I know how hard insomnia can be. :(

Your brother is inconsiderate, but, he is also your brother. And also you should refer him to Google.:)

next time he wakes you up get rid of the app or throw the phone out the door.

That's almost as ignorant as telling someone to put your phone at the top of a flight of stairs.

Take the phone and push it somewhere else /(-.-)/ (-.-)

I for one find this cute. Although I also see how it would annoy you

PLittle puppies are cute. Baby pandas are cute. Petal bows are cute. A brother waking you up in the morning to solve a math problems is not cute.

Trust me, age does not matter. I have seen 11-13 year olds with the iPhone 5 and 9-10 with the older iPhones. Also some people can't think right in the morning.

Throw it in the pool. The phone or your brother...it's up to you.

I'm going to start using that for everything.

I don't get it, if your brother can't handle an application on his phone, why doesn't he just delete it and get another alarm application? If you have to beg for help with something, it simply isn't for you.

He might keep it cause for sure it will get him out of bed since he has to ask his sister for help. Also he gets to wake sister up really early. Might feel like a win win to him.

Hmm, delete the app, or 'accidentally' drop his phone in the toilet. Either one works. And why would he want to wake up that early?
