Not OP's clock/idea. Old as the internet.

[–]rjwelch17 7 points8 points ago

Good Point.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

but still good.

[–]hungry138imp -2 points-1 points ago

aha i get the irony of this joke.

[–]rjwelch17 1 point2 points ago

I hoped you would see the sharpness of my wit. *insert trollface here

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

How does his joke convey an unexpected outcome?

[–]mag1cdr4g0n 0 points1 point ago

It's called a pun, bro.

[–]jakedemian 3 points4 points ago

Wait hang on. Hang...the fuck...on. Correct me if I'm wrong Sandy, but are you trying to imply that someone on the internet just lied?

[–]psykiv 0 points1 point ago

MIND. BLOWN.

[–]xiipaoc 12 points13 points ago

What time is it set for?

TETANUS TIME!

[–]Thesilverbullitt 195 points196 points ago

Good idea but, ahem, tacky job.

[–]Shitragecomics 46 points47 points ago

But OP has a sharp mind for coming up with the idea.

[–]JontanD 43 points44 points ago

He got straight to the point.

[–]Thesilverbullitt 43 points44 points ago

And is now very punctual

[–]Traherne -2 points-1 points ago

What a bunch of pricks.

[–]Neafie2 6 points7 points ago

Don't be picky now.

[–]jantzn 6 points7 points ago

That was needless to say.

[–]TheTalentedAmateur 2 points3 points ago

I agree, the comment was unnecessarily sharp.

[–]SimplyAmusing[S] 1 point2 points ago

these puns are so pointless

[–]MadroxKran 0 points1 point ago

We just want to take a poke at you.

[–]BaconOverdose 30 points31 points ago

Nailed it.

[–]dggeek 8 points9 points ago

I don't want to alarm you, but this is a repost.

[–]Xedma -1 points0 points ago

[–]Mythid 2 points3 points ago

This is a repost it wasn't his idea

[–]Strange1130 75 points76 points ago

whats with all the reposts lately?

[–]Se7en_Sinner 69 points70 points ago

Lately?

[–]rhubarbbus 39 points40 points ago

Yeah, Reddit was great like 4 months ago when I started, but now it sucks.

[–]dexterduck 5 points6 points ago

It's funny how when I first started using reddit there were no reposts. Now they're everywhere. It's a conspiracy.

[–]slexd8 30 points31 points ago

it's because you didn't know the reposts were reposts. ah, ignorance is bliss.

[–]PGLubricants 30 points31 points ago

That's the.. nevermind.

[–]soawesomejohn 1 point2 points ago

I now view the nevermind as a counterpoint to the hivemind.

[–]Omegle 0 points1 point ago

yeah... thats the joke...

[–]slexd8 3 points4 points ago

it's cool i realized. thanks for trying to save the day though haha

[–]I_am_salad 1 point2 points ago

Definite repost.

[–]TruKiller -4 points-3 points ago

I say the same thing yet I started 9 months ago. I think it's just one of those things that is great at first but sucks after awhile.

[–]semisane8 -1 points0 points ago

Reposts are allowed my the mods in /r/funny now.

[–]Drachri93 0 points1 point ago

That doesn't mean the community likes like them.

[–]Thesilverbullitt 23 points24 points ago

What's with all them reposts of late?

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points ago

You made a better effort than most reposters. You at least changed around the wording a bit.

[–]phambam 1 point2 points ago

Why are there so many similar posts?

[–]Eddie_Dingle 5 points6 points ago

The thing is, I would carefully pinch one of the tacks and press down on the snooze. At 7 AM, not much can come between me and 9 more minutes of sleep.

[–]ydoug 7 points8 points ago

How I feel in this thread

[–]hotlawndream 7 points8 points ago

calls in "bleeding" every day

[–]Kryten_2X4B_523P 12 points13 points ago

To make it reaally work, cover the tacks in AIDS.

[–]Lyrneian 0 points1 point ago

[–][deleted] 10 points11 points ago

Remember to post a picture from the morning you forget about them.

[–]HE_WHO_STANDS_TO_POO 0 points1 point ago

/r/wtf stay tuned...

[–]killer4u77 18 points19 points ago

This is a tacky repost

[–]Mr_Pockets 2 points3 points ago

OP didn't even make his/her own.

[–]aazav 8 points9 points ago

I'm*

The fucking word is I'm.

[–]happyFelix 15 points16 points ago

Upvote for bravery Mr. Insanity Wolf.

[–]nick041 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, I don't see this going horribly wrong.

[–]dirtymartini74 1 point2 points ago

...but now can't do my duties at work due to the bandages.

[–]lankalicous 1 point2 points ago

This could have been made better. You could have simply pierced each tack through a length of tape, then stuck the tacked tape on. More stable too.

[–]bossmanjr 2 points3 points ago

This is the only reason i came into the comment section. I'm glad to see i share the need to be an arrogant, know-it-all, asshole with you lankalicous. Cheers

[–]Grizzant 1 point2 points ago

tetnus

[–]Ralph_Baconader 1 point2 points ago

I want to play a game.

[–]Alv53 2 points3 points ago

I have that same alarm clock!

[–]alien3434 0 points1 point ago

Me too!!!!

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points ago

Oh look, a repost.

[–]bholzer 8 points9 points ago

What a surprise, someone complaining about a repost!

[–]danish_sprode 9 points10 points ago

How fascinating, someone bitching about someone else complaining about a repost.

[–]inlinevoid 4 points5 points ago

Oh hey, someone observing someone bitching about someone else complaining about a repost.

[–]keeponchoolgin 2 points3 points ago

Oh look, someone... ah forget it.

[–]xXSEEKERXx 9 points10 points ago

Fuck you! you lazy ass, ill do it. Will you look at that, someone is observing someone who is observing someone else is veiwing someone bitch about complaining about a repost.

[–]natedogg89 0 points1 point ago

WE NEED TO GO DEEPER!

[–]JKELL -1 points0 points ago

One too far.

[–]lern2spel 1 point2 points ago

That just seems like it would ruin your day, but as long as it works, right?

[–]Max_Powers42 1 point2 points ago

"Now I'm always late to work after spending 20 minutes every morning sterilizing and bandaging my hands."

[–]pandame 0 points1 point ago

Life, hard mode.

[–]wolfmann 0 points1 point ago

Id just pull the plug.

[–]ddes3 0 points1 point ago

Pull the plug...

[–]teaeyepea 0 points1 point ago

This only holds true if you work at a hospital/doctor's office.

[–]emcoffey3 0 points1 point ago

A little nerve damage is a small price to pay for promptness.

[–]KallistiEngel 0 points1 point ago

I do have trouble waking up and often turn alarms off when I shouldn't. This would not work for me though. I use the alarm on my phone rather than an actual alarm clock.

[–]sme00 0 points1 point ago

i'd be late pulling tacks out of my hand and cleaning up blood...

[–]middledigitman 0 points1 point ago

yeah because you wouldn't learn to pinch and then push !!!

[–]Kim2107 0 points1 point ago

I'd manage a way around it. While sleeping. I'm terrible.

[–]lepillfight 0 points1 point ago

I'm having some seriously problems these days getting in time for work. I could really need something like that! I have also thought of buying a boat horn connected to my alarm clock. Either it kills me or I get deaf but I think I would get in time for work.

[–]Santas_Dick 0 points1 point ago

I'd still be late, and have a bloody dick.

[–]konan375 0 points1 point ago

I feel sad because there is something to be put up on a wall somewhere and those tacks aren't going to hold it up.

[–]urgit39 0 points1 point ago

i'm just sayin i'd be able to avoid the thumb tacks and hit the base beside the points inside of 3 days

[–]nilbog1089 0 points1 point ago

i know I would end up gently feeling for a gap in the tacs and pressing the button with one finger

[–]volume_100 0 points1 point ago

Or you could advance your time by 15 minutes.

[–]Tallain 0 points1 point ago

A mousetrap works wonders, too.

[–]jwbrooke 0 points1 point ago

too soon. Wait at least a few more months before recycling material.

[–]Airazz 0 points1 point ago

There are some purpose built versions with a similar idea.

[–]lartones 0 points1 point ago

Or you could go to bed earlier?

[–]Pyowin 0 points1 point ago

...and dying from tetanus.

[–]mobyhead1 0 points1 point ago

I had to audition alarm clocks in the store to find the loudest alarm I could (a Sony Dream Machine), then I had to place the alarm clock on the other side of the bedroom so I must get out of bed and shut it off. Previously, if I placed an alarm clock conveniently close to my bed, it was entirely possible for me to turn the alarm off in the morning, oversleep, and have absolutely no memory of turning the alarm off. So I can sympathize.

[–]gradeahonky 0 points1 point ago

...unless you have to swing by the hospital first

[–]TheSoup07 0 points1 point ago

all i could think of was the butterfly effect

[–]Serviceman 0 points1 point ago

Of course his partner thinks they have an alarm clock that goes "Ow Fuck! Ow Fuck!

[–]Chenanigans 0 points1 point ago

I have the same clock.....we are one..

[–]krispwnsu 0 points1 point ago

If I did this I'd be late for work and also anemic.

[–]Philymaniz 0 points1 point ago

His hand is sure going to hurt in the morning.

[–]Cheeseyx 0 points1 point ago

Wouldn't a hospital trip just slow you down even more?

[–]sgrodgers10 0 points1 point ago

If you have an iphone, get the Sleep Cycle app. I love it

[–]lordtater3 0 points1 point ago

In all seriousness, this is genius.

[–]Stephen_Fapking 0 points1 point ago

I've been wanting to make an alarm that would send an electric shock upon touching the snooze button.

[–]brandonkiel27 0 points1 point ago

Can this repost please get downvoted faster? Ive clicked it three times on my different computers fell for it every time

[–]foolkitty 0 points1 point ago

Now you'll never sleep!

[–]pygo 0 points1 point ago

How about you stop being a lazy fuck and get out of bed! You'll probably do that much better at your job if you actually try. This leads to promotions and ultimately more money! And work will be easier.

[–]RAMCADO 0 points1 point ago

Fucking brilliant!

[–]Idiotank 0 points1 point ago

I don't know cleaning up the blood might make you late.

[–]malvoliosf 0 points1 point ago

I would be late to work with bandaged fingers.

[–]IHv2RtrnSumVdeotapes 0 points1 point ago

if i did this people would say they didnt know they made my alarm clock i red.

[–]JohnAbruzzi -3 points-2 points ago

Just unplug the cord. The only way to get yourself out of bed is discipline and going to sleep on time. My way is to leave the curtains open at night. In the morning the daylight won't let me sleep.

[–]gk306 2 points3 points ago

Thanks, mom.

[–]magicbullets -1 points0 points ago

It's hard enough to refrain from throwing the alarm clock at the wall. This would be the final straw.

[–]snicklefritz618 -1 points0 points ago

Clever I suppose, but why not just develop a little self discipline and get out of be when you need to?

[–]hell_in_a_shell -1 points0 points ago

Ow. I would so lose the nerves in my hands after a few days.

[–]murphmurphy -1 points0 points ago

This should really be in pro life tips

[–]I-Am-The-Cheese -1 points0 points ago

No blood?

[–]JustAddAnS -1 points0 points ago

I'm

[–]chiisana -1 points0 points ago

X-Post to LifeProTips?

[–]nayrwilliams -1 points0 points ago

scary 0.o

[–]TheTalentedAmateur -1 points0 points ago

Other people are crying "REPOST!" However, perhaps the first 15 times were 'PRE-Posts', preparing the Reddit community forTHIS one.

[–]toomuchmeat -4 points-3 points ago

Or you'll just get stabbed every morning. :D

[–]BuckDollar -4 points-3 points ago

What is that? Crack needles?

[–]777TheOneAndOnly777 -1 points0 points ago

No, you're still late. You just have a bunch of holes in your hands now.
