TheScarf Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Mine does that too. Or more, sets maybe 5 pr 6 alarms in 5 or 10 minute intervals until it's time to get up. It's like do you not realise I can fucking hear them and are getting woken up by them too? What's wrong with setting one alarm for the time you want to be woken up at? Like people with actual working brains do. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daughter, like her mother was a pain in the arse in the mornings too. Her snooze alarm would go off every 10 mins in the next room until it reached the point of me banging the wall and yelling at her to get the fcuk up. T'was a great day when she moved out to flatshare with her friends. Alas, her mother's morning madness still persists. Fecking wimmin'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Mrs sets her alarm and is up immediately. That for me is mental behaviour, I need the snooze. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Mine makes a big fuss about not being up by a certain time, but then manages to find an extra 15-20 mins or so without issue whenever she's in a particular morning mood. I'll leave that open to interpretation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if my alarm is set for a 03.00am rise, for a 04.00am start at work, there's a high chance I'll be awake and switch it off before it even sounds, leaving the mrs in blissful slumber unlike when it's the other way round and she's up first. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if I envy or pity you. I'd love to be able to wake up before my alarm/bounce out of bed in the morning but I do enjoy that I'm a deep sleeper. The one drawback to my personal deep sleeping is that is usually comes with pretty bad night terrors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madwullie Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 (edited) 2 hours ago, 'WellDel said: Unrealistic alarm calls. All this week, and on many occasions before she's gone on about how much she has to do the next day, and how early she'll need to be up. Cue the alarm going off at 06.00, only for her to proclaim how she really is busy but too exhausted to actually fucking get up, before resetting the bloody thing for her usual 08.00 and promptly falling back asleep. I've been on the late backshift, so by the time I get in and have a quick bite to eat and unwind its between 1-2am before I go to bed. I am also a hellish light sleeper, so this fucking charade leaves me lying awake, seething, every time. Silly bint. My wife is a serial snoozer. No matter how often I tell her how fucking bad mannered it is she still does it. If she NEEDS to get up at half 7 she'll be 5 minute snoozing from about 6:50. Does my fucking head in, and to make matters worse, when she's ultimately late (as she always is) the blame is placed squarely on the boys (5 and 8 ) for not getting themselves ready in time (they're young fucking kids) or me, for some made up shit that only exists to make her feel like she's not to blame for being late. Absolutely infuriating. I can only really think of wiping your arse on someone's toothbrush as being more ignorant than forcing someone else to listen to you snooze your alarm for 40 minutes every fucking day Edited April 22, 2021 by madwullie 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet, on the odd occasion, when I set the alarm for 6am to get out for a run or a cycle I get the “make sure you’re quiet when you’re getting out of bed” Absolute madness considering she has 4/5 alarms going off (daily) when I’m still trying to sleep. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were in Hong Kong before where it's impossible to keep anything you don't need due to space restrictions. We have a clean out every 3 months or so here so no shite survives. Even the son's kiddie clothes and toys are sent off to various relatives once he outgrows them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd had enough of the same Tupperware problem and have chucked them all in the outside bin. Six months ago. If she's noticed, she hasn't mentioned it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better still try hauling the drawers off them - they will be out of bed in a flash. And on the odd occasion you may get lucky - win win situation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
