When staying in a hotel with an unfamiliar alarm clock and up late enough/tired enough that you decide to change the alarm time, it is a good idea to double and triple check that the little AM/PM dot is indeed set to what you think it is.
That is all…

And am I glad we don’t have the AM/PM trouble here in Europe…

I am always afraid of that, because there is no standard in the alarm clock industry.
People wonder why I love 24-hour time.

That drives me nuts. Some clocks have dots next to a mark that says “AM” or “PM” some have light-up “AM” and “PM”. It’s even worse when you get a new alarm clock and they work differently. It makes me long for 24hour time becoming standard in the USA.

Oh, dude, I hate when that happens. Now I always set the alarm on my cell phone when I’m in unfamiliar places. I’m sure those fancy communication devices you’re carrying around have an alarm buried in there somewhere.
There’s always the wake up call, too.

Ah yes, always trust your mobile so long as you change the time zones as well
