I Threw Away the Alarm Clock By Mistake / myLot

January 12, 2025 11:11am CST

A few days ago I ordered two things from Amazon: a travel pillow and a travel alarm clock. The box came the next day and I got out the travel pillow. I didn't see anything else in the box. I threw the box away. A couple of days later I wondered about the status of the alarm clock so I inquired of Amazon and said it wasn't in the box with the pillow so they ordered a replacement for me. When my husband woke up I told him about it and he went out and dug the box out of the garbage can and sure enough the alarm clock was in the box that the travel pillow came in. Oops!

I'm glad that you were able to find it before trash pick up.

That’s a message: retired people don’t need alarm clocks.

Well, dagnabbit. At least you found it, and now you will have two alarm clocks. I never use one. I wake up naturally pretty much the same time every day.
