Default Who The Hell Designs Alarm Clocks?

I just bought a new alarm clock to turn it off it's like a 4 step process. I'm sorry, but I have no mental capacity to turn it off when I first wake up. I spent 5 minutes trying to figure it out and then just unplugged it.

Just gimme a big OFF button you fuckers.

maybe they did it like that so you wouldn't accidentally turn it off and then not wake up.

its SO you have to think.

youre going to have to wake yourself up to turn it off, so you'll be less likely to fall back asleep.

I actually have 2 alarm clocks.... the one has 2 alarms on it, so I have 3 alarms in the morning. I set them just a few mins appart from each other. Makes me wake up and think... I have to, too many times I've gotten a call from work asking where I am because I turned off the alarm without actually waking up.

Happens to me too. I have one right by my bed that I hit snooze on for about an hour (I don't even realize this going on, but apparently I do)...and the other one across the room for me that's set up at the latest time I should be up "just in case" I don't wake up on time...that one ends up waking me up everyday.
