Basicaly, my idea is for an alarm clock that, instead of turning off its alarm for five or however-many minutes, calls you a "lazy bastard"(with a censor or alternate word for the "sensitive") and begins ranting about its job being to wake you up in the morning and other such things in an increasingly loud voice when you hit the big "Snooze" button. To turn it off, you have to type in a password, to ensure that you really are awake.

That is what I really want to hear when I hit snooze.-- not_only_but_also, Jul 19 2005 I dunno. Looking through all the "alarm clock snooze" ideas, this seems to have been haflbaked atleast, well, uhm...for 5 minutes or so.-- blissmiss, Jul 19 2005 Can't find one taking this form [bliss]. Gets a bun from me. I'd like it to have a huuuge library of good insults, if it got repetative or stopped making me laugh I would eventually break it.-- wagster, Jul 19 2005 Definite Bun.
