The worst sound in the world

I think few will argue that one of the worst sounds in the world is that of an alarm clock going off. Each morning, anywhere from 3:30 am until 7:00, I hear my roommate's alarm clock blaring.  The problem? He doesn't.  He doesn't hear it for the first 5 minutes it's going off and when he does finally catch a listen, he presses snooze so it can do it all over again in 9 minutes.  Sometimes he snoozes for a half hour, sometimes he snoozes for an hour and a half.  Oblivious to the world that is trying to sleep around him.  This morning, a Saturday mind you, was no different.  For some crazy reason, his alarm clock was going off from 4:00 am until 5:15.  When it first went off, it went off for 11 minutes straight.  I had to actually get out of bed, (and go pee because who doesn't have to pee as soon as they are awoken in the morning) and knock on his door.   As soon as he heard my knock, the alarm went off and shockingly, another 9 minutes later, we did the song and dance again until 5:15, when he finally got out of bed.   How Rude.
