i would like to expand on this point;
when you guys set a few alarms seperate from each other by at least 10-15 minute margins, do you actually intend to get up on the first alarm?

i do exactly what waltermcphilp does, but i really just do it so ill be able to 'sleep in' without actually being late and to wake up gradually, instead of just jumpin' out of bed like a trainwreck.

i set my alarm for 7, but i can get up as late as 7:15. usually my girlfriend is already awake though and once my alarm goes off once she'll start bugging me to get out of bed

heres how spoiled i make myself-

in my bathroom is my washer and dryer. before getting in the shower i throw in my wrap around towel (connects like a skirt with velcro) and a dry off towel in the dryer.

when i get out of the shower, i pull out the towels and they're piping hot. its absolutely fantastic.

a wrap-around towel? what's the point? do you sit around in your towel after you get out of the shower?

I hate my phone's alarm - everytime it goes off I pick up the phone and answer it, of course with no response. Makes me feel like an idiot every morning. :/

that indeed sounds amazing, but your electric bills must also be quite spectacular

waltermcphilp · 10-31-2007, 02:25 PM

what's worse is when i wake up on the second alarm, not expecting the third on for a while, and the shrill ringing scares the crap out of me.

Eulogy · 11-01-2007, 12:22 AM

so i've been working on this paper in here for a while now, and my roommate is now playing some shitty foreign techno shit. and i can't focus. i could leave i guess but he could put some GODDAMN HEADPHONES ON.

yes i know i should just ask. so it's my own fault blahblah. but whatever. i mean, what the fuck.

I only had roommates in college for probably 2-3 weeks at a time. I was usually good as scooting in at 4am on an acid frenzy and scaring them off. I guess the word spread because I always ended up with a double room to myself.

paranoid · 11-01-2007, 01:20 AM

roomates fucking SUCK.

I generally get annoyed with people easy but when i live with them, oh fuck.

my current one is lazy as hell.. tends to eat a lot therefore the dishes are always piled up, bringing to our kitchen some friendly fruit flies. so a week ago i ask him to make sure he does his dishes when he's done with them, therfore they wont pile up.

so a week passes, i notice there are NO dishes in the kitchen period, none in the cpboards, none in the sink, none in the dish tray.. so i go into his room to investigate and find all the dirty dishes hiding in there.. on his desk, the floor, his bed, his nightstand, everywhere.

i loled at first but got pissed pretty quick. i called him on it, and he threw a hissy fit calling me an asshole, im too much like his parents, im not cool, blah blah blah. he's a god damn grad student for fucks sakes.

oh yeah we also share a teaching assistantship for a class of 150 students, this week we had to read and correct 150 papers, supposed to be done by this past tuesday.. i got mine done by the weekend, he hasn't touched his yet.. so to avoid our boss getting pissed at ME, i corrected the rest, making sure i signed off MY name on every damn paper.

boy did that suck. hopefully he gets his ass fired and i get hte extra $$.

k srry, end roomate rant.

monkeyfritters · 11-01-2007, 01:22 AM

i want one of these alarms, they are a lot nicer than stupid buzzers.

i don't have to work until 3pm, leave the house at 2.20pm, so i set my phone alarm for 1.30pm just incase i'm still asleep from a big night before or losing track of time.

but most of the time i'm just up and bumming around the house, not expecting an alarm anymore since i'm awake, and when it goes off it scares the shit out of me.

Boycott Graceland · 11-01-2007, 02:16 PM

i know a guy who routinely sleeps through his alarm for four hours plus, even though it's blaring loud enough to wake everyone else in the house up

Eulogy · 11-05-2007, 01:30 AM

are. you. fucking. kidding. me.

i've been working in here since....9:00 or so. and he strolls in and turns his fucking music on. again.

and last night, me and my friend were hanging out in our other room, and he comes in with a smelly fucking cheeseburger and then proceeds to eat it while chewing with his mouth wide fucking open. i blasted the TV and it still couldn't drown out HIS NASTY-ASS CHEWING. HOLY FUCKING SHIT. she hates open-mouth chewers more than i do, so we were both doing everything we could do not jump up and punch him in the fucking face.

ahhhhhhhhhhhh i mean if i were friends with the guy, this is all stuff i could laugh about and tell him to stop because it's so terrible and douchey. but since i can't stand him at all, i don't feel comfortable saying anything.

Tournée d'adieu · 11-05-2007, 01:42 AM

Wow, this pretty much describes the situation with my roommate...although I'm the asshole with the alarm. Then again, I get up within 15 minutes of it going off. It's set for 7:45 as well.

Anyway, I hate doing it. I get so annoyed when he jolts up in bed (I can see him...layin' there across the room). Of course he can't help it, but I'm irrationally angry that he hasn't gotten used to it and thus will stop making me feel bad by waking up every morning.

wHATcOLOR · 11-05-2007, 01:43 AM

i accidentally punched myself in the balls. i had one hand full of shirts, walking toward the laundry. the other hand i had my keys, and i was fiddling through them, trying to get one specific key to open the door i was walking towards. well the keys started to fall, so instinctively, i quickly tried to slap them against my body to prevent them from falling, and bam, right in the balls.
