Alarm clock...must...die
Well this day has already started off peachy. Aside from the mystery call beeping me awake at 5:45 a.m., which from what I'm gathering by the sounds is probably my mom accidentally calling me from inside her purse, my next door neighbor's alarm clock has been going off. This isn't just a sleeping-through the piercing beeps kind of "going off", oh no, that would be too easy, that way my pounding on her door would've resulted in it being shut off. She left last night to go home and forgot to un-set it. For the sake of my frustration and the earliness of this rant, yes, "un-set" is a real word. The real kicker of this one is that it seems to be one of those that progressively gets louder as it beeps on; this alarm has been going off since 8 fucking a.m. If you notice the time I'm typing this, it's quite a long time after that. We might as well have placed a jackhammer against my headboard by this point. I should also point out that our rooms are divided by a solid brick wall and I was still ready to rip my own ears off.
My 8am class had been cancelled today and I was looking forward to a peaceful sleep-in. Sonofa-

Typically, an alarm clock will go off for an hour before it shuts off. Can't you get your floor manager to do something about it?
UPDATE: It is now 9:07 a.m. and the piece of crap is still going off.
Does your neighbor lock her door?
My junior year at Luther, a girl down the hall a few doors had an obscenely loud alarm clock that went off every night at 9:30 pm. The noise lasted forever, and my roommate and I weren't very happy about it.
After about three nights of this, I made the serendipitous discovery that these girls did not lock their door. So I went in and reset the offending clock to something like 4:30 am and left the alarm set to "on."
Amazingly enough, the problem never recurred.
