So I realized twelve hours ago that I wouldn't be sleeping tonight in order to finish a CS assignment, so I've spent all night out in the hall on my laptop.
As soon as 7:30 rolled around, about four alarm clocks on the floor went off...
It's been 12 minutes and the one closest to me is STILL going off. The kid either died in his sleep or just sleeps through his alarm or something. Both him and his roommate, I guess.
He left his door open. I'm currently debating going in and waking him up, or turning the alarm off.
Don't mind me, just some randomness spawning from exhaustion and irritation :) |

| If he can sleep through it, I guess everybody else is supposed to, right? LOL |

| Under normal conditions, I sleep about 5 hours a day. The past few months have been anything but normal around here. They have been very stressful, and when I get stressed I get insomnia. I am down to about 2-3 hours a day now. Even then, I seem to wake up on the hour and have to forced myself to try and get back to sleep. I'm starting to feel like a zombie. |

Whilst at college my daughter used to have to have a room with the fire alarm bell/siren just outside and also a college mate whose designated role if there was a fire, was to get her awake, up and out! She takes after her father who also failed to hear anything when asleep - although he's a lot better now he's "grown up"!!

Run in the room and yell "FIRE, FIRE, FIRE!!" at the top of your lungs. That should get him and at 'em.
Just kidding. |

| I get up everyday for work at 3 am to get out at 1pm so I can pick my boy up from school. Lately I'm usually up late editing photos, so I typically get about 3-4 hours in. Weekends are nice and I get to sleep in until 6 or 7, although I usually get up every 2 hours for some reason. |

If they are dumb enough to be that asleep with their door open, I would say you are justified in dousing them with a bucket of ice water or spraying them down with a fire exinguisher.
I had a roomate that would party 'til 3 or 4AM then sleep through his alarm. I kept a few tennis balls by my bed to pelt him with. One morning he got up, grabbed his alarm clock, walked down the hall and threw it down the stairs, came back into the room and went back to bed.

What someone needs to make are earplugs with built in alarms. Maybe just a wireless reciever that gets a transmission from your own clock.
Anyone know how to make some? My wife would love it if my alarm didn't wake her or the kids up. Be a life saver for people with a baby nearby... |

I think I would have done the same thing. LOL

A couple times I dropped down in the corner of a hallway in the CS building to nap. I set my laptop as an alarm clock and put headphones on. It's about the closest you can get right now, I suppose. Although the volume level does hurt a bit.
So after about half an hour of listening to the alarm, I decided to be a nice person, close the door to his room, and went back to my own. When I went out into the hall again an hour later, it was still going off o_o
Seriously, I wondered for a moment if both him and his roommate died. |

Waaay back when I was in university residence/dorm, my roomy was crashed out after an exam he'd pulled an all-nighter studying for. It was dinner time, so I gathered a bunch of guys up & told them to grab all the hockey tape they had.
We all tip-toed in and simultaneously taped him down to his bed. He only had his gitches on and a sheet over himself. We lifted the bed up, took the legs off, and proceeded to carry the entire package out of the room. The bed couldn't fit out the door flat, so we had to tip it sideways, but there was so much tape that he stuck fast.
We carried him out of our co-ed residence to the all-girls residence. We deposited him in the first room we came across with an open door. The girl was at her desk and immediately started yelling "No, no, no, don't bring him in here!" We put him down and walked out without a word.
We went for dinner, then back to our rooms. A couple of hours later my roomy still hadn't returned, so a bunch of us went back to the girls' residence to see what was up. To our surprise, the room was full of chicks! They had my roomy still taped down, and the head of the bed propped up on a chair. They'd painted his toenails and fingernails. His hair was all spiked with sparkly gel. His face was extremely made up. He looked hilarious. And, they were feeding him booze through a straw.
He was totally enjoying it. We decided to carry him to the pub for some drinks with all the girls. They wouldn't let us in the pub with him taped to the bed as it was a fire hazard, so we had to let him out, but he really had to pee anyway.
A good time was had by all!

That is an amazing story. I only wish for a chance to do something equally as ridiculous in the next few years XD |

Even a simple spur of the moment gag could get turned around and made better by a victim who's creative & gutsy.
Each two rooms shared a bathroom, which connected the two rooms via separate doors to each room. All rooms also had a door to the long hallway. People who share a room are called roommates, or course, and pairs of roommates who share a bathroom are called canmates. The bathroom doors could be locked from the outside, so canmates could keep each other out of their rooms. This also made it possible to lock someone in the bathroom, which was a no-no.
One of my canmates was in the shower one evening, so I snuck in & took all the towels, except one small washcloth, out of the bathroom. Then I went into his room & locked the bathroom door from inside his room, then went out through the hallway back into my room.
Voila, now he would be forced to leave the shower through my room & out through the residence public hallway back to the front door of his room. Which would be all the more comical as he'd only have a small washcloth to hold over his bits & pieces. I gathered up a few female friends to hang out in my room to share in the comedy.
Eventually we heard some loud complaining from the bathroom, as he finished & discovered all the towels were gone. He heard our evil group laughing, found the door to his room locked, & eventually put two & two together. He peeked out into my room & saw us all having a laugh at his expense. He ducked back in & the bargaining began.
The bargaining didn't end to his satisfaction, so he eventually made his way back to his room. Only he wasn't modestly holding the washcloth where I thought he would, walking with his back to the walls... he came out full force, washcloth slung over his shoulder, walked around the room like a model, with his johnson happily flapping around, to the shock & delight of all the girls. He stood in the doorway for a moment & had a few words, then went to his room to dry off.
He turned that gag around, man, that was funny stuff.
