"Ah, I don't have to get up as early as usually, so I have more time to get ready in the morning."

Escape room? I just call it November.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 13 hours ago

I will escape with exactly one minute to spare every time

It's raining heavily, chilly, and you just pulled the covers up over your back, which was cold from being exposed.

You flipped the pillow to the fresh side just before pulling the covers over you.

That was this morning. I texted everyone that I'd be late and went back to sleep. I failed the escape room, but it was worth it.

Bonus round - you have a heated mattress pad, set to 3 (or whatever is perfect for you, I’m a 2-3 with my pad), and enough pillows around you to give you that snuggly feeling (for me it’s 3, but there are an additional 3 supporting pillows to allow the 3 comfy pillows to do their job optimally)

And your cats/dogs are all cuddled against you. Because warm.

Good luck.

But the blankets are warm. That's part of it.

"Sorry I'm late. I woke up in an escape room this morning."

That's not an escape room, that's the world's nicest supermax prison.

*and your friends just cancelled plans

Five more minutes?

Level 2: You hit the alarm off, not the snooze.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 13 hours ago

Think to self, it has probably been 5 minutes already, I should get up. Look at watch, hmmmmmm that can't be right, how did 45 minutes just disappear?

That's why I'm glad I work in homeoffice and have a job phone
