Today, my roommate's extremely loud and obnoxious alarm went off six times, waking me up each time, before she finally gave up on hitting the snooze button and went back to sleep for good. 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, 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, I set 3 alarms so I wouldn't miss an early morning event I was volunteering at. After I slept through the first one, my roommate turned the other two off without waking me up because they were annoying. I missed the event. FML

Morning routine
Today, my alarm went off. I snoozed it, and went on to dream that I got out of bed, did my business, brushed my teeth, took my breakfast, changed into my working attire, and was ready for work that morning. My alarm rang a second time, I had to do all that over again. FML

Today, like every other day, my roommate's alarm began to go off at 7:30am. What time does she have to wake up? 10:00am. Why does she have her alarm go off for two and a half hours? Because last semester she needed it to go off then and she is too lazy to change it. FML

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

SHUT UP!
Today, my smoke alarm started chirping at 3 a.m. I replaced the battery, reset it, and got back into bed. Five minutes later, it chirped again. I searched for the source before realizing it was my roommate's alarm clock. FML

Why didn't you wake him up yourself?

You should've poured ice water on him. Cliché, but effective.

I had two roommates in college who use to do this on the only two days i didn't have class or work earlier than they they did. They would set it for 7:30am and not get up till 10 minutes to class time for them. Imagine two alarms going off, one every 5 minutes and the other every 7 minutes. My best solution was to leave the room and get up two hour before my alarm was going to go off. Let them deal with my alarm since i wasn't there. After they confronted me about my alarm going off while i wasn't there i told them about their nasty little habit of hitting snooze. They stopped hitting snooze as much and i never left my alarm on while i wasn't there. Another solution is to tell them to put their clock across the room on a dresser so they have to get up and turn it off.

Good for you for counting. I would have turned it off.

Sometimes people, myself included, find its easier to wake up when they get a slow wake up. I will set an alarm 30 minutes before I need to be up. Then another alarm 15 minutes before. Then 5 minutes before. If I don't I will 6 times out of 10 not hear my alarm clock. I have never had any complaints for that so far.

At least your roommate wakes up. My brother can sleep through the sound for up to 8 minutes.

A few days ago my flatmate managed to sleep through it around 15 minutes, no kidding. And it was a loud one, too. I finally entered his room to check on him because I thought that maybe he wasn't there or he's unconscious or whatever - nope, just sleeping. Good thing is, he usually wakes up late in the morning, when I'm already on my feet for some time, but it's still annoying when I try to study for the exams.

I do that, too. If I even wake up to that sound. My boyfriend usually wakes me up then, because he gets annoyed.

My roommate used to do this in college, two hours before I had to wake up, 4 days a week. It made me hate her for the rest of the year. I talked to her about it and nothing happened. Then when I realized she didn't care, I started cursing every time she hit snooze, or setting my alarm to just after her first one and leaving the room so she got stuck listening to my alarm while I got dressed. She eventually got the message.

Count louder next time.

Now that's what I call procrastination.

With the average 'snooze' time between alarms is 9 minutes, that reaches over two hours. I personally would have used the alarm clock and 'snoozed' him on the head within the first hour, but that's just me.
