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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my roommate set her extremely loud alarm clock for 5am and continued to hit the snooze button every ten minutes until 7:30. 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 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, 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 roommate pressed "snooze" on his alarm 14 times. I counted. FML
Today, my roommate has gone home for the weekend. She forgot to turn her alarm clock off. Her door is locked. 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
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
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, after months of living with my roommate's horrific snoring, I looked over to see her sleeping quietly. Elated that I might actually get a full night of rest for once, I went to bed. Just as my eyelids began to droop, she started making vile hissing sounds. Yes, hissing. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Six alarms...? I'm pretty sure I read it saying one alarm went off six times...

If you have to set six alarms, and you still don't wake sometimes. Then don't have an alarm, just get someone to wake you up

I personally have to have an alarm go off every fifteen minutes for an hour before I have to wake up to actually get out of bed. I need that warning. However, I turn it off within the first 3 secs and it's at a low volume. But when I lived with bf, she had them go off every 5 mins for an hr bc she kept hitting snooze. And would sleep through them all. That is until I would scream "Kortney your alarm!!" She would hear it then. Point being is, if your up wake her up.

18, don't be a dick. You know what #1 meant. I always set multiple times for my alarm to go off, as I'm sure a lot of people do, and it's common practice to refer to them collectively as "alarms", plural. People correcting spelling/grammar/actual mistakes is annoying sometimes, but tearing apart semantics just so you can "correct" them is ridiculous.

Agreed. Yesterday, while I was taking my timed online final exam, my roommate asked me to get him some milk. Inconsiderate roomies errywhere.

I'm guilty of doing that. I'll push snooze for like half an hour before I actually get up. My room mate hates it.

That's pretty inconsiderate...

You are the worst kind of person. I had a roommate like that in the college dorms. He would sleep during the day, hit snooze for an hour, then finally get up in the evening. Then he would work on homework while the other roommate and I were sleeping at night. Then he would take a nap until two or three in the morning, hit snooze for an hour on his alarm, and repeat the whole thing. Two years later, I'm still pissed about that stuff.

The ****. I have so much experience in this department it's infuriating.

Ask the roommate to turn it off next time instead of snooze if they know they won't be getting up so that you don't have to hear it repeatedly..

Eat your roomate's alarm.

Oh I hate when roomies do that! To be fair though, I'm sure we're all guilty of doing this sometimes.

Well unfortunately many people in this world are assholes. Lots of them even do it on purpose D:

Break her alarm clock... She obviously doesn't need it.

Put this extremely loud and obnoxious alarm into a glass and set it off right next to her head. She'll wake up, trust me. And possibly even pee her pants.
