Don’tcha just hate it when you accidentally flip your alarm clock to display the alarm time rather than the current time, so that when you glance at it at some point in the night, you think you’ve awakened a few moments before it’s going to go off, so you turn it off, get up, take a shower, and only then realize that it’s still too dark out and you’ve actually arisen at 2:00a, rather than when you should have?
Yeah, me, too.

If that’s the worst “Friday the 13th” story I have today, I guess we’ll be in pretty good shape.
I’ve never had an alarm clock that lets you do that. I’ve always had to hold down a button to see/change the alarm time.
Wow, this has never happened to me.
Though, leaving the alarm on, having it go off on Saturday morning, getting up, turning on NPR and wondering why the Weekend Edition folks are on Friday does happen every so often. ;P
I have had roommates who let the snooze alarm go off every six minutes for an hour before finally getting up. I’ve never understood why they prefer that to another hour’s uninterrupted sleep.
My current roomie does this, even though the alarm is set for about five hours before she leaves for work, and she doesn’t get up when it goes off (especially on her days off). “It is a puzzlement.”
My alarm clock is … special. https://www.hill-kleerup.org/blog/2005/09/23/alarm_excursion.html
I am seriously thinking about treating myself to a Fathers Day Weekend Gift of a new alarm clock. How sad is that?
Heh. Reading your old post reminded me of a scene from The Bob Newhart Show. Bob and Emily are scrambling around, late for work, and Bob says grouses that they’ll have to change the station the clock radio is set to. “It’s impossible to wake up to Swan Lake!”
Ha!
I feel so Old School, commuting to work on the train. Heck, my *dad* used to do that …
