Today, I was staying in my family friend's house in France. The church bells ring every hour, which I thought was cute. Until 8 this morning where they rang 24 times. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I'm on holiday, but my alarm clock isn't. It rang at 6 o'clock. FML
Today, I was at church, when my mom's phone went off during the sermon. As if that wasn't humiliating enough for me, her ring tone was set to the Bed Intruder song. FML
Today, my car alarm went off during a funeral. Three times. FML
Today, my neighbors left for their nine month excursion, and armed their security system. One of the features is a loud series of three beeps every three seconds, 24 hours a day. I can hear it, clear as a bell, throughout my entire house. FML
Today, I attended a funeral. During the minute of silence, my phone went off. My ringtone is "It's good to be alive". FML
Today, I'm dead on my feet. My flatmate's alarm went off for 20 minutes at 5 a.m., which I heard and he didn't. A car alarm went off outside my window for half an hour at 7 a.m. My building fire alarm went off twice, at 8 and 8:10 a.m. Just let me sleep. FML
Today, I forgot my headphones at home. When I got to work I found out that today was also the day the band next door had decided to practice their only song for 8 hours. FML
Today, I got woken up by Hallelujah blasting outside my apartment windows for 30 minutes straight. FML
Today at 10:00 pm, someone rang my doorbell 4 times, while I was sleeping. I thought it was an emergency and I opened the door to my neighbor who just want to ask if I had a blackout at noon. FML
Today, I started my spring break. My college is letting the students stay in the dorms for break, so I figured that staying here would mean getting more sleep than going home. Not so much. The fire alarm has been going off every 20 mins since 7:30am because they're "fixing" it. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I had the same problem in Italy.. On holy days they play songs every 15 mins.. Our house was directly beside the church too. Feel your pain OP.

Wait so if they rang every hour why didn't the ring at 2am bother you?

Yep. Same thing when I stayed in a monastery in Nome, France. And no one spoke English, so meals were basically just charades with food.

I kind of had a similar experiense in Japan. I stayed in this quite small village for a week and every single morning at six o'clock they blasted this morning stretch routine on the streets. They actually play the same routine in Battle Royale at the end of the movie.

YES! This happened to me when I stayed at my grandparents' house in Italy. It would bong 15 times at 12:45, and was legitimately right next to the room I was staying in. A few yards from the window

If the bells go off every hour wouldn't you be confused on which hour you needed to be up? I know that it dings the number of hours of what time it is but like at my grandmas house it plays songs and doesn't ding.

Who needs an alarm clock when you've got church bells, and there is no snooze button.
