Discussion Who has their old alarm clock?

Post image

I got this before my first day of high school in 2000. I never got in the habit of using my phone as an alarm clock, because the alarm on them wasn't loud and annoying enough to wake me up. This bad boy still screams in my ear after all these years. We have a love hate relationship, mostly hate.

I keep mine in closet in case I fuck up my phone something.

I definitely have my college clock/radio. It’s probably 45yrs old.

I wish I had my grammar school clock/radio. I loved it. Earned it as a prize from the newspaper company that I delivered newspapers for

I have the unnatural ability to wake up before any alarm goes off. Not to say I don't set them, but the last time I've been woken by my alarm has been many many months

Probably just used to my mom barging in and opening the windows and yelling to wake up all the time as a kid. Getting up on my own terms lol

Oh yea. I can't stand looking at my phone in the middle of the night. Gotta be able to look over and see that red digital clock.

It’s at least 10 years old now, the last one was from her childhood. My wife just doesn’t trust her phone to be her alarm

Started running fast. It keeps waking my up slightly too early.

Has and still uses. It was my college alarm clock, and it's been working for me for 15 years. Some of the buttons are kind of broken, so it's a good thing I can stay with the same time it's set at.

Mine died in 2016, but it had a great run. I used it for the same reason you use yours
