Today, I woke up to find that my parents had replaced my regular alarm clock with a walking one that requires you to get up and find it. The alarm was set to 5:00AM, which would have been fine if it wasn't the weekend. 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 woke up and saw that my alarm clock had fallen on the floor. It read 9:05 am. I panicked because I was late for work. As I frantically got ready, I went to pick my alarm clock up to place it back on my nightstand when I realized it was upside down. The actual time was 5:06. 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, 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, I'm on holiday, but my alarm clock isn't. It rang at 6 o'clock. FML

Today, I set my alarm for AM instead of PM. Woke up at 5AM to realize I have nothing to do. 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

Today, my phone alarm went off at 3 AM. I don't remember setting it, but it turns out I'd somehow activated an old "Wake up for a meteor shower" reminder. Despite it being the wrong day by months, I got up, looked outside, and only then did my brain kick into gear and I realized it was set for the wrong date. FML

Today, just like every other day, I was woken up 2 hours earlier than I needed to be, by the alarm belonging to my upstairs neighbors. They won't wake up until their real alarm goes off: me, pounding the walls and yelling in frustration. FML

Today, I woke up at 5:30 and made the half hour drive to work only to find out that it was my day off. After finally getting back home and into bed, my boss called, requesting that I come back to work since I was "already up". FML

Sounds great - you get awakened and some exercise at the same time.

Roosters crow at all times during the night, not just the morning. That's just my bit of useless knowledge. :)

Is that your weekday wake-up time? They say waking up the same time every day is good for you. I don't do it, so let me know how it goes.

Ah, a perfect time to start your trumpet practice.

No need for a trumpet when the African lady behind me has a pet rooster :l (and yes, African, not African-American)

Geeky is not synonymous with good grammar. Trust me. A rather surprising amount of geeks have an awful grasp of spelling and grammar.

To clarify that since my phone will not let me edit: I am a geek, and I am often surprised how bad my friends grammar and spelling can be.

#25, 34, when someone talks about murder, you might not want to point out their grammar errors. I love the English language, but I'm not willing to die for the correct tense. (The misuse of "literally" is another story.)
