Waking up is already one of the most difficult tasks of the day and the only thing that could make it worse is an annoying alarm clock.
Although one can vaguely see the humor in these clocks, especially the thought of someone other than you using them, it is almost torture to put them to use. If you're not a morning person like me, your threshold for composure would certainly be tested past its limits.
All the negatives aside, one must admit these annoying alarm clocks will certainly get a person up and awake. Whether or not that person gets up on the right side of the bed or not is the question.
