Alarm Clocks

In Lonesome Dove

Did you ever get into bed on a night before a day off forgetting to switch off the alarm that you had set for the week?

This happened to me throughout the Christmas holidays. I deactivated the Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday alarms but somehow forgot to do the Thursday and Friday alarms. So Xmas morning and St. Stephen's day morning my alarms went off and then again this week. Days off and my alarm went off. My phone has a function - flip the phone to snooze. Just kept flipping until I woke even though I thought I pressed dismiss on the alarms but the sleepy head on me probably didn't and the alarm kept going on and off.

Did anybody else ever

Had to get up once to retrieve the alarm clock from next doors garden!

Cantremember

I eat clocks.
At last a relevant thread!
Wait a minute...

What happened there? Did your neighbours chuck their alarm clock in their garden or did you drop your phone in their garden?

I woke up one morning in a fowl mood (bad chicken curry the night before) bloody thing went off and I opened the window and chucked out!

Into next doors garden

PS: it was a real alarm clock in the days before mobile phones.

The snooze button has got to be high on any list of humankind's most useless inventions. Up there with the snake leash. https://www.google.co.in/patents/US6490999

You won't press the snooze on this one!

It's 2015 and people are still using alarm clocks?

Was this some preliminary exam to be a Home Appliance mod before you moved on to microwave and Hoover recovery?

I had three going off every morning for a couple of mornings, I don't even want to explain

These days I retrieve my kids stuff from the garden, Today I found a long lost copy of an Xbox game that was getting the better of No1 son last summer at the bottom of the garden while harvesting willow!

Was this during your Christmas holidays?

yeah, I was in on Monday and Tuesday of each week though, so I never turned the alarm off and then I got an alarm clock as a present for Christmas. The third alarm was on an old phone which I had reset a couple of weeks previously as my own phone was in for repair, when I got it back I forgot to disarm it, despite the phone itself being turned off. At one stage I was being woken by light, followed by the sound of birds tweeting just as my first phone kicked in, and by the time it had reached its third snooze, the old phone would start off.
