It’s Not A Good Idea To Wake Me Up Before I Should Be Up

its-not-a-good-idea-to-wake-me-up-before-i-should-be-up

My morning did not start off well. Why you ask? Because my husband is a douche. Let me go on.

The first time this happened, I let it slide because it was the first time and well, shit happens. In any event let me preface this by saying my husband had decided to pick the most obnoxious sound as his alarm ringtone: a fucking rooster crowing (since when did we start living on a farm?)

Wednesdays-Friday I have to be up at 7 because I work from 8 until 10. He gets up around 6, which means that when his alarm clock goes off. I never hear the first one, but when he decides to start pressing snooze every time it goes off, I hear it each and every time, which means I’ve effectively lost my hour of sleep prior to getting up. Couple this with not sleeping well because I’m on an uncomfortable bed (his sleep apnea prevents us from sleeping in the same room, which makes this all the more worst, as you can determine how loud his alarm is) and it takes me awhile to sleep, I get about 4-5 hours of sleep at most. I can function off that if I have to, however I cannot function off 3 days of that.

In any event, his alarm finally stopped, but low and behold a few minutes later my alarm starts blaring at me. Obviously I’m annoyed and frustrated because this is the second time this has happened even though I’ve already talked to him about it.

After finally dragging myself out of bed, I go to my computer and start setting it up for work. Imagine my surprise when I hear, “Hi, baby.” That in itself sets me off. I ask, “You’re not going to work?” He responds, “I’m leaving in a few minutes.” So I say okay whatever. 2 minutes later, “Weasel is being really cute, come look.” I respond saying, “I don’t want to get up.” He counters with, “She’s being particularly cute.” I repeat, “I don’t want to get up.” So than he asks, “Where’s you camera.” I tilt my head and say, “Over there.” He says, “Where?” Now I’ve gone back to being annoyed, and say very pointedly and point my finger, “Over there.”

At this point he seems to be catching on that I am not happy because as he walks over he asks, “How are you feeling?” I say, “Annoyed.” He than ask, “Why are you annoyed?” I respond (with even venom in my voice to stop a black bear cold), “Your alarm.” At that point he mumbles, “Sorry” and proceeds to set up my camera. He walks over to take the picture and I try and tell him to put into one-shot mode because it’s currently set to remote/self-timer but he ignores me. Then he says, “Well, that’s not what I wanted.” To which I respond, “I tried to tell you to put it in one-shot mode.” He than snaps and says, “Well, how the fuck am I supposed to know what one-shot mode is?” I reply, “It takes one-shot.” He then stomps off into the bedroom and comes out a few seconds later with his phone. So at that point I’m annoyed and frustrated and ask him what he’s doing. He says, “Calling out of work.” My annoyance and level of pissiness rises, “What made you change your mind?” He responds, “I’m in a bad mood.” At that point I ignore him and let him do whatever the fuck he’s doing.

My level of irateness has increased considerably since I got up because a, I was once again woken up by his fucking alarm, after we’d had a discussion on it previously, and b, come to find out I was woken up for no fucking reasoning because he decides to call out on account of a bad mood.

So am I pissed? You bet your ass off I am– oh and the kicker, he’s sleeping again and I’m half tempted to set his fucking alarm to the G-ddamn rooster tone he’s chosen, hide it, and just let it go off until he gets out of bed. /rant

Ughhhhhhhhhhhhh my husband pulls the same shit with his alarm. It makes me want to freaking throttle him, because a lot of nights I go to bed AFTER he does, so I’m starting out with less sleep than him, and then wind up with even less. If you’re going to press the snooze five fucking times, just set your alarm for an hour later, dammit!

Since your husband uses his phone as an alarm, tell him to stick earbuds in his ears… let the alarm wake him up that way. ;)

UGH Id kill him lol. Thankfully Im up before Mike on most mornings cause the earliest he goes in is 9 but even when Im getting ready for work his alarm starts going off and he just sleeps right through it. And mind you, its an annoying alarm as well so I am half tempting to smash it lol.

Side note: I wish I could call out of work because of a “bad mood” :(

Luckily I always get up before my husband. I’m really good with my alarm too. I get out of bed the second time it rings. I hit snooze only once and it rings for about half a second. I only use it as a reminder once and just stay in bed for some extra cuddles.

I’d totally rooster his butt!

@Caity: When my alarm goes off I don’t hit snooze button. I turn it off and linger in bed for a bit and then get up. He, however, will hit snooze and hit snooze and hit snooze. I hope the sleep study helps once he gets treated because I’m seriously on my last leg here. :(

Tell that husband of yours that it must be nice to call out simply from a bad mood. I wonder if everyone else at his place of employment does it or if they even know thats his excuse. If my husband tried that reason, the Army would just laugh at him, tell him to suck it up and get his ass on location pronto.

@Angela: My husband has a very cool boss who wouldn’t care if he told him the reason he was calling out was because he was in a bad mood, especially since he has the capability to work at home if he wants to. While it irritated me before, I know that in large part the reason he didn’t go in is because he’s exhausted due to his sleep apnea which will hopefully be addressed next month. In any event, he apologized for his behavior and I understand. We all have one of those days. I was just pissed cause my sleep was interrupted.
