What if we could have objects that talk? Some would be our gist partners while some, out of frustration would want to stop working for us because they feel we have used them for a long time and it's time for a replacement. There was a time I looked at a friend's slippers that had torn at the edge but still managed it, and I said to her, "If these slippers should come back to life the second time, they won't come close to you" or something like "If only this slippers could talk, they would have expressed their feelings and asked for a replacement because they are tired of being dragged on the ground when they could have been thrown away and replaced".
Then, I would conclude "What if these objects speak, would you wait or run for your dear life?" 😃
Okay, let's not go there. What if your alarm isn't just a buzzer but a chatterbox with a personality? What if it could talk, what would it say? Join me as I explore different quirky, inspiring, aggressive and funny messages our alarms might deliver if they could talk.
One thing the alarm does when you set a particular time is to remind you of a schedule you almost forgot about. We set alarms for various tasks and for someone like me, I set different alarm clocks for different purposes and sometimes set more than 3 alarms for the same purpose in case I miss one, the other will wake or remind me. So, let's explore different voices of alarms for different tasks.
Alarm set for morning workout: Since we want to be reminded the next day of our workout and not miss the time, once we set the time and it reaches, the alarm would give the message "Hey girl, wake up! Time to rise and grind. Let's crush that workout. Get up now!"
Alarm set for a workday: "The day is bright, get up and start your day. The world awaits your productivity." I wake up every 5 am and I am sure this is something my alarm would say to me, hearing the message would make me get up to start the day on a beautiful day.
What if I set an alarm and it keeps snoozing continuously, it would be angry, then what you would hear is "Hey sleepyhead, don't you hear me at all? Get up now and don't be a lazy ass in bed".
Then comes the frustrated alarm where you'd set different alarms but refused to get up to any, and the voice would go like this "I have been ringing for ages! How much longer would you continue to ignore me? If you feel like snubbing me every time, then stop setting me up please, arrrgh"
Let's talk about the exhausted/drained alarm. This is an alarm that is tired of the same routine every time. It is already used to the same time when you have to get up, brush your teeth, take your bath, dance in front of the mirror and repeat the same thing the next day. The alarm would just angrily voice out and be like "Hey, what is this same routine all the time? I am tired! Can't you change the pattern? I need a new routine and not going in the same circle every day. Don't try this tomorrow because I might have to disappoint you"
When you set an alarm and nothing is being done. Like you keep pushing the alarm away from your side or tapping the red button because you feel you need more time to sleep. Sometimes, it happens to me when I don't want to get up and the alarm keeps buzzing forever. Out of annoyance because it is what happens every time, the alarm would scream "Wtf! Even if I keep buzzing all my life, it still doesn't make a difference. I want to resign immediately as I do not give a fuck to one who doesn't want a change anyways"
Did I try? I want to believe these are some messages our alarms would deliver depending on their mood and situation if they could talk.
