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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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 dad set the smoke alarm off at 6 a.m. as a "practice drill." I was woken up so suddenly, I fell out of bed into the bucket of sick I had been throwing up into the night before due to flu. Dad yelled at me for not getting out of the house in time. FML
Today, at around 12 a.m. I went to bed, happy that I get to sleep in because I had nowhere be in the morning. Sadly that came to an end when I woke up around 7 a.m. to my mom coming home and screaming because she saw a mouse. FML
Today, my dad thought it would be funny to wake me up by sprinkling catnip over me then dropping my cat on top of me. FML
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
Today, I woke up to my disabled mother screaming for me. Fearing the worst, I hopped out of bed only to find that she was yelling because her cat had brought a field mouse inside as a gift. The problem? It was still alive. I had to get it from him and throw it outside. FML
Today, after my dad insisted that the trash go out last night, even though I always take it out in the morning because of the stray dog problem in our neighborhood, I took it anyway to appease him. He woke me up banging on my door and screaming because the strays had thrown the trash all over the road in the night, and he blames me. FML
Today, my dad woke me up for the second time to get me ready for school. Wanting me to prove I was really awake, he made me sit up. As soon as he left my room, I dozed off and faceplanted my nightstand. FML
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 was awoken by my dad yelling into my ear. In shock, I jumped up off the couch, and came smashing down into the coffee table. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

FYL I don't know I have tried everything. 6 alarmclocks all a minute apart all across the room(One of them being a new high-tech one) all set a minute apart all very loud and one of them is set to go off ten different times all one minute apart but I just turn them off not snooze and go back to sleep. Mayn't that will make me up but with a rat trap.

The last thing that I want to be woken up by is unexpected pain like that. He should have set the clock a few hours forward instead. That always works for me. And to everyone who's saying "YDI for being lazy", not everyone gets to sleep at a reasonable time. Maybe the OP is in university or something and has to work/study at late hours. Or maybe he just has trouble getting to sleep. Doesn't make him lazy, just means he needs more sleep.

Odds are that youve been bitching for a long time and are taking advantage of whatever your father does in response (like coming in and waking you up). So YDI it's not that hard to get up pussy. Stop being a prissy little girl and just get the **** up when your alarm clock goes off. Or your dad will put a mouse trap on it.

You kinda stated your whole opinion on one big assumption then didn't you? Btw for some people it IS hard to get up, for instance when im really tired, sometimes the noie just gets incorporated into my dreams, or i self consciously turn it off.

I wish I could vote agree and ydi together. that's freaking hilarious on one side and very infuriating on the other!

Well, YDI, but I still feel bad. I use to either just not wake up from the alarm or shut it off in my sleep, so what I did (I don't have to anymore) is put my alarm clock on the other side of the room. That way you have to get up to shut it off, then right after that turn on the lights and the radio. Oh and have the radio kind of loud. And make sure your parents know what time you should be up, so they can make sure you are up. But that's really funny he put a mouse trap on the snooze button, but I still feel bad!

I have a problem with that too, but putting it on the other side of the room doesn't help. It SAYS it will keep going, but it automatically shuts off after a couple of minutes. When I put it on the other side of the room, I wake up with my pillow on my head.
