Today, I decided to take a nap before a big job interview at 6. I set two alarm clocks to make sure I didn't miss it, but I woke up at 5:59. As I'm scrambling in a panic to get out the door, my mom says calmly, "I took your alarm clocks out of your room because you looked really tired today." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I set practically ten alarms because I absolutely could not oversleep for an important appointment. I woke up two hours early, panicked that I'd missed it, and couldn't fall back asleep. I spent the entire appointment looking like I hadn't slept at all. FML
Today, after going to bed at a decent time last night so I could get up early, I overslept. Not only that, I thought today was the day of my job interview, so I rushed to get ready and go. As I parked in the parking lot, I realized today was the day before said interview. FML
Today, I had an interview for my dream job. I spent all of last night preparing, researching the company, and making sure everything was perfect. My interview was for 8am. I woke up at 10:30 to an alarm that had not gone off. FML
Today, I was starting a new job that requires me to wake up at 4 am. I set three alarms but was so nervous about sleeping through them that I kept waking up to check the time, which caused me to miss my alarms. Goodbye awesome new job. 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 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 set ten alarms for an important appointment and still woke up convinced I’d missed it. I spent the morning panicking for no reason and showed up looking exactly how I felt. FML
Today, I went to a job interview. The person giving me my interview was late, and while waiting for them I fell asleep. When they arrived, they didn't even bother interviewing me because they thought I was irresponsible since I fell asleep because they were late. FML
Today, my mother woke me up by loudly vacuuming the house. I had to work the next morning, so I asked her what she was thinking. She told me that if I was really tired and needed sleep, I wouldn't have woken up. It was 3 AM. FML
Today, I set aside some time to take a power nap at my desk. I set an alarm, but it didn't go off. I woke up hours later to find my coworkers had surrounded my desk, taking bets on when I'd wake up. FML

That's why people should stay out of other peoples business. I'd be so mad if that happened to me.

ur mom didn't know about ur important interview
Ms_Jessie22 8
Wouldn't you have told your mom if you had a job interview? Since you obviously live at home I would've thought she'd know.

I agree with Jessie, YDI for not letting your mom know so she could wake you up if your alarms failed.

81 - no... she didn't know she was causing trouble, and it's really the op's fault (as Jessie pointed out), so the mom is NOT an asshole. :|

1) You live at home, mom should know about important interviews, I'm sure she'd like to know rents coming soon. 2) This gives you the great opportunity of lying. I'd go in with my ankle wrapped and a story about how my sister is a junkie in rehab and I'm taking care of her kid and I tripped over their toy while trying to get them to a backup sitter after the first one fell through. And then go into some big speech about how I hate irresponsible people who can't be dependable and how much I value people taking control of their own lives.

How did you know what time it is if your alarm clocks are gone and you just woke up?
albinomustang 0
which is the same reason you're still in her house.

how big can it be if you still live with your mom?

But the OP's alarms didn't fail... Their mother just decided to do something incredibly stupid. Even if the OP did look tired, their mother should have realized that if the oP has not one, but TWO alarm clocks set, then there's a reason and she shouldn't touch them.

108: There's this new thing called a cell phone that magically tells you what time it is. It's amazing! *SARCASM WARNING

#121 So big, that if OP got it... They might not have to live with their mom anymore. Mind blowing, right? #99 Not every parent makes their child pay rent as soon as they turn 18. My parents want me to stay home as long as possible cuz I'm the only girl, and I pay every other bill (including 100% of my college). They know I've got enough on my plate for now.maybe it's the same situation. And to everybody saying OP deserves it for not letting the mom know... Why should they have to in order for mommy not to take the alarms. Or even go in OP's room while they are sleeping and look to see if OP has alarms set. It's this wonderful thing called privacy. Every adult, even ones that still live at home, should have complete privacy in their own living space. (As long as they aren't doing anything illegal or being too loud with the SO.) ;)

That's not looking out for OP. Its called interfering and later possibly ruining OP's life.

if she was looking out for what was best...she wouldn't have caused her kid to miss a job interview
