RedRocket1647545505 Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Or am I the only one this happens to? Set alarm clock for 6:30am, wake up at 7:40, work starts at 7:30......fuck. I specifically remember setting it last night, too. Now usually I wake up before the alarm anyways, but last night I was extra tired. Damn I hate being late for work. Only happens about once every few months, it seems. This happen to anyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nurkvinny Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Yes. I also figured it just happens to me. I figured it was payback for all the clocks I've smashed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Good thing for me the last few times it happened my daughter got me up. Don't know where I'd be without the wife and daughter keeping me in line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sciongirl Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 yeah thats happened to me before.. to the point where i went and got a new alarm clock. hasn't happened to this new one yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudiOn19s Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 My old alarm clock had a touchy switch on it to where if you didn't have it set right in the middle of the on position it wouldn't go off. Luckily our dog is pretty set in his schedule and notifies me it's time to wake up before I'm really late in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Main3s Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Nope, maybe you should get a better alarm clock. When I set mine to 6:30am it goes off at 6:30am. Now I have set it to 6:30PM by mistake then it doesn’t go off at 6:30am like I need it to. There have also been times I thought I hit the snooze button and ended up turning it off and instead of waking up 9 minutes later its 39 minutes later. Waking up late does sucks ass.

BIGGU Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 happened to me also, luckly I just set my phones alarm and thats the one i go off of. sucks having 2 alarms tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRocket1647545505 Posted December 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 It's a fairly new one; only about a year old. And it's not the type that one could just ignore. It's loud and won't shut up until you do something with it. I've also pulled the stunt where I turn it off (it's across the room so I have to get up to do so), go back to bed, only to wake up 15 minutes later on my own and go, 'why the hell did I just do that?' Ugh, sleep walking FTL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty2Hotty Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 My biological time clock normally screws me. I tend to stare with hateful scorn at my clock every morning around 5am. Then proceed to fall asleep, only to be woke by the horrible shrill of my alarm clock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akula Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 I have done it where I set it for 630pm meaning to get up at 630am. Or not turned it on before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tbutera2112 Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 my cell phone alarm clock does that sometimes... had to go buy a real one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragknee66 Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Happened to me before.. my old one did it a few times and I smashed it ya. Being late for work is NOT good. I use my cell as a backup though.. its set for the "you need to get your ass up rite this damn moment" time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brrcats Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 It used to happen to me all the time when i had to wake up at 4am for rowing practice. Doesnt happen so much anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImUrOBGYN Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Or am I the only one this happens to? Set alarm clock for 6:30am, wake up at 7:40, work starts at 7:30......fuck. I specifically remember setting it last night, too. Now usually I wake up before the alarm anyways, but last night I was extra tired. Damn I hate being late for work. Only happens about once every few months, it seems. This happen to anyone else? Had it happened, too. I do have a few possible excuses for it, though, as it's happened quite a few times with me. Even with different clocks. After a few times, I wasn't so sure it was the clock's fault. Here are my possible reasons: (Having a hard time thinking/talking right now thanks to this bearded fuck (can't remember his name) yelling at me on this Mighty Mendit infomercial.) Okay, he's gone. 1. You set it for pm instead of am. 2. You just plain forgot to turn it on. 3. You shut it off and forgot about it. 4. It went off, you slept through it and the snooze alarm. (If your clock has one. And some only go off once, etc. If yours snoozes, how long does it znooze for, can you adjust the time it goes off for and/or the duration?) This is a plausible explanation if it catches you in a deep sleep or REM cycle. 5. It's a piece a shit and doesn't always work. 6. Someone's sneaking into your house and turning it off while you sleep. You can try just using a different alarm clock to wake up to for awhile if it's a problem, though you did mentioned this was a rare occurence.

kenny Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 I do that all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87GT Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Buy an alarm that has at least 2 presets. Set one to your normal time and set the other to 10 minutes later. Then if really drunk before going to bed set the cell phone alarm. Works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putty Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Happens to me all the time. I just say "you piece of gipsy junk shit!!!" then call and say i'll be late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 Sweet Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Or am I the only one this happens to? Only happens about once every few months, it seems. This happen to anyone else? YES! Only happens once every couple months. I thought I was the only one who experienced this. I will tell people that my alarm just doesn't go off sometimes, and they say I'm crazy.
