oooh yeah i hate it alot!! my dad frequently has this bad habit. most irritating is when u don't have to wake up for anything and then suddenly at 7am you get awakened by the alarm and you have to get out of bed to turn it of. but now the good part: you open the door of your parent's bedroom, the curtains are open so u get bright light in yur face and then you have to search for the button to turn the damn thing of, at least i have to! and the birght light makes me unable to go back to sleep immediately :(

This is just awful _hope_, says she who no longer needs an alarm. LOL
Actually it is most annoying I agree, and even worse if you are staying somewhere or with someone else and the alarm keeps on going. Unless they are really close friends it is a little hard to scream out "turn that b thing off before I chuck it out". LOL

I don't know about that, my youngest was up at 7 and my oldest was up about 7.30 I think, they weren't in a bad mood or anything, they were really lively and jumping all over me, I only wanted a little lie in!

Yes my Dad has had problems where he lives as the power
can go on and off a fair bit upsetting his alarm clock.
We tried lots of different ways like the battery back up.
Something that has puzzled us is the fact you can not buy a winded up clock for love nor money:(. The answer to his
alarm clock woes was to the set the alarm on his mobile phone which has worked like a treat for him.

What my hubby does is set the alarm for 8 am the night before. Also the night before he will tell me to "please make sure I get right up at 8!" So he will when the alarm goes off, hit the snooze button, I will try my best to wake him up and he will say he is getting up, he will hit the snooze button for about an hour and a half. Than he will get up for a few minutes and go back to sleep until noon or so and leave by 1 PM. Grrrrr..... It is now 10 am today. He told me to make sure he gets up.. The alarm is going off right now. How many times will he hit the snooze button today....

Yes it is very annoying, you're just in a lovely sleep not realising that it's nearly morning and then the alarm goes off and you realise it's you who forgot about it! It's nice when my son leaves his alarm though because that wakes us up with water sounds which is lovely, except it makes me need to get up and go to the toilet, which I guess is a good thing because it means I have to get out of bed!

Yes it is annoying although I'm usually in charge of the bloody thing... Even just this morning I thought I turned it off when I got up, thinking I will let my partner sleep a little longer but No I had moved it the other way so when it went of it was the loud beep instead of the radio I was already down stairs making my partners Lunch when I heard it and thought what the hell is that then I realised "You Idiot" so I ran upstairs and turned it off.. Argghh I was still so tired, I felt like such a fool :D

Oh I do that and my wife surely does complain about it ... but it is different if she does it. where is the logic in women sometimes? It only happens sometimes and I think we should be forgiven when it does and anyway it is probably time they got out of bed ...... at least that is what I tell the wife. she doesn't listen and just gets cranky with me and makes me get my own breakfast as well. women are strange creatures.

I must admitt I can be guilty of not turning off the alarm, I can be very forgetfull at times, so to keep me organised I have alarms to remind me of things, eg wake up, leave for work, (specially needed if I"m caught up on the computer before leaving for work. lol) feed the fish, ect. My diary/alarm is my 2nd brain.. I would be lost without it... lol...
