I'm due a new one, I was given this one in like 1998

3/24/2010 1:40:06 PM

6th grade.

which was around 1994.

3/24/2010 1:40:44 PM

old. at least 10-12 years. and the maid ripped the antennae out a couple years ago so i dont get clear signal. half the week i wake up to classic rock, the other half to shreaking static

3/24/2010 1:46:43 PM

I don't have one.

Way to rub it in, rich boy.

3/24/2010 1:47:49 PM

Maybe 10 years. Although I don't even know why I keep it plugged in anymore. I pretty much only use my cell phone.

3/24/2010 1:49:50 PM

I pretty much only use my cell phone.

3/24/2010 1:50:53 PM

1995ish

3/24/2010 1:51:11 PM

[Edited on March 24, 2010 at 1:51 PM. Reason : punchmonk uses my 1990s era alarm clock though]

3/24/2010 1:51:18 PM

I went thru like 6 my freshman year of college

Top bunk + smashing snooze + tile floor

Current one I've been rocking since '06 or so

Nothing snazzy, but it does the job

3/24/2010 1:51:46 PM

3/24/2010 1:52:18 PM

I have a couple, as I used to be very hard to wake up

one is a giant silver alarm clock I bought from Target, but its' from like 2002

3/24/2010 1:52:41 PM

^^ i need one of those

but

2000. paid $40 for it way back then. with inflation it would probably cost $1000 today

3/24/2010 1:53:27 PM

I always use my cell phone. But I don't need it. I always wake up before the alarm.

3/24/2010 1:54:46 PM

i use my cell phone and it does the best job, although i do wake up before the clock when / if I get to bed at a decent time

3/24/2010 1:58:59 PM

I spilled water on mine when I was drunk, and now the alarm doesn't work.

3/24/2010 2:00:39 PM

I've killed a few by slamming my fist down on the snooze button back in the day, then woke up late and pissed because I dreamt my alarm didn't go off

3/24/2010 2:02:27 PM

I honestly do wonder this about people. I inherited Ken's after mine died. He tells me 1994.

[Edited on March 24, 2010 at 2:06 PM. Reason : Ken needs both his cell and the alarm clock. SLACKER!!]

3/24/2010 2:05:19 PM

I use my cell phone, but I have one by my bed that's set 15 min faster. I have no clue why I did that because I automatically think of the right time when I look at it. Oh and I've had this one for about 6 years.

I'm so behind the times, but I really need to get a docking station for my ipod that has an alarm on it and all that. I think I'd use it then.

3/24/2010 2:07:08 PM

hahah I never have my time set correctly on clocks by my bed

always random times ahead so I don't know how long I have to get ready

it's hard to do math when you're sleepy

3/24/2010 2:09:38 PM

another good question is if your alarm clock is set ahead? Our's is set like 7 or 8 minutes ahead. I always freak myself out thinking I don't have enough time.

[Edited on March 24, 2010 at 2:11 PM. Reason : ^, ^^]

3/24/2010 2:11:20 PM

I've had mine for about 20 years, but usually use my phone as well.

3/24/2010 2:18:25 PM

I think it's from ~2001. I, too, use my phone most of the time as well. I am paranoid about setting two alarms in case one of them doesn't work or something.

3/24/2010 2:20:50 PM

26 minutes fast

But I know that so I always act like I have 26 extra minutes

So its pointless

I need one that randomly sets itself 5-30 minutes fast every night, so I won't be able to outsmart it

3/24/2010 2:20:52 PM

I remember setting mine 47 minutes fast for a long time, because that's how long it took to get up, get a shower, eat something quick and get to work on time

My current and last cellphone's alarms aren't reliable at all. My clock is late 90's, early 00's

Also, ^^

[Edited on March 24, 2010 at 2:25 PM. Reason : except my clock is 9 minutes fast]

3/24/2010 2:24:48 PM

I need someone to set that and my microwave clock like 5 minutes fast without telling me.

3/24/2010 2:26:51 PM

I wonder if there are any links that make your computer an alarm clock that can be set to randomly jump ahead each day?

3/24/2010 2:27:15 PM

i got my clock radio as a christmas gift back in 5th grade

its so simple and the best. i only use my cell phone to wake up when im traveling.

about a year or so ago i thought it died so i bought a new one at target that even changes itself for DST but it was too complicated because i could set multiple alarms so i just put it in the guest room when my old one somehow came back to life.

3/24/2010 3:20:02 PM

this is the exact model i have. GE. my parents gave it to me and they had it a long time. it doesn't have any dates on it, but i'd guess it is at least from the 70s or 80s.

3/24/2010 3:33:53 PM

I had that same shit

with more dust

3/24/2010 3:34:47 PM

3/24/2010 3:47:54 PM

I don't have a clock radio. I use my cell phone. If I were to get an alarm clock, I'd get one of those rolly things

3/24/2010 3:51:23 PM

I got mine when I came to college. The CD player in it doesn't work anymore but I just use the radio. I don't trust my phone to wake me up, especially after having a Razr. I set my clock 5 minutes fast and it slowly increases the time which is nice because it keeps me guessing.

3/24/2010 3:56:59 PM

1996 or so. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. My wife or daughter wake me up if it doesn't.

3/24/2010 3:58:41 PM

I just replaced my old one, but it was easily 10 years old. I probably spilled drinks on it at least 30 times over that decade. It once was white, but when i finally got rid of it it was brown.

Whoever invented the clock radio should be a millionaire. Those fuckers last forever.

Although actually, that wouldn't make him a millionaire because people only have to buy 1 per decade

I have clock radio, he cannot afford

3/24/2010 4:07:40 PM

Around 25 years old.
I was about 6 when I got it.
We went to Roses and there was an alarm clock with a green display. Not red. GREEN.
I told my parents I wanted an alarm clock with a green display for Christmas and got it.
Had it ever since.

I bought a Sony clock about 10 years ago because it played sea shell and jungle sounds or some junk to help you sleep. That thing broke in less than a year and I went back to old trusty.

[Edited on March 24, 2010 at 5:02 PM. Reason : s]

3/24/2010 5:00:59 PM

about 10 years old. I had an identical one before this, but it died. I've had this model for about 17 years.
Though, I have an alarm clock on each side of the bed, and the second one is about 7 years old.

ancient

3/24/2010 5:23:46 PM

I use my cell phone.

I have one those alarm clock lamps that gradually turn the lamp on to help you rise more naturally.. But it's ugly so I don't use it.

It's a full on lamp, not a cool bubble light like Joie's.



[Edited on March 24, 2010 at 5:54 PM. Reason : Here it is!]

^i use my phone as a backup.
its saved me once or twice.

[Edited on March 24, 2010 at 5:55 PM. Reason : ^that one looks pretty cool though!]

i need a light alarm

fuck you DST

3/24/2010 6:00:16 PM

^ i have that one in cary

3/24/2010 6:05:05 PM

wish it didn't work so well so I can justify getting a new one

3/24/2010 6:06:28 PM

i think i got mine around 10 or 12 year ago.

its currently set 15 minutes fast, but i change it up every couple of weeks. i don't know that it really helps either way.

3/24/2010 7:43:50 PM

^^^^ i left that one in a chicago hotel

3/24/2010 7:46:32 PM

got it freshman year...so like 6 years old?
