Unfair degrees of rug-pulling

I had no idea what my alarm was this morning. I’m talking serious moment of panic. This weird beeping noise coming out of the walls, my phone hopping around with these unfamiliar lights coming out of it… and this was after waking up in the middle of the night and spending a bleary few minutes trying to figure out how the walls had reconfigured themselves without anyone noticing.

Seriously disoriented. On the other hand, great hair today.

    I walked past you at Merrion Square earlier this afternoon. Your hair didn’t look that great to me, Bucko.

    I remember hitting the snooze button once, bad hangover day you know the way. Five minutes more I told myself. After about two or three minutes I realised the phone was still making some kind of small tinny noise. I picked it up and put it slowly to my ear to hear an increasing loud and irate voice screaming down the phone.
    Where the fuck are you? get your fucking arse in here. How fucking dare you ignore me on the phone… It was my chef. I was an hour and a half late for work and I realised I hadn’t actually set my alarm at all.
    Great hair day too, though. Must be a guy thing

    I didn’t sleep last night, so anxious was I that I don’t have a job to get up for or anything to live for anymore.

    And it doesn’t matter what my hair looks like.

    Exact same happened to me at 4 in the morning, had no idea where I was and I felt like crying when I had figured it out.

    My hair is usually pretty bad so all is good

    So, people: not so happy. This will cheer you up.

    Thank you Darren. Given the way these comments are going, I’m tempted to remove the hair reference in the post to confuse any future readers.

    Ever seen those helicopter alarms? When it activates it starts beeping loudly and then fucks off across the room with it’s wee propellors. Head wreck.

    Having to chase one of those badboys across the room would wake you up pretty sharpish.

    I’ve seen alarm clocks with wheels, but helicopter alarm sounds much cooler.
