Imagine being someone’s personal alarm clock for three years, and then one day, you ‘forget’ to wake them up for work. Well, that’s exactly what happened with this 20-year-old woman and her 22-year-old boyfriend. They’ve been together for three years and living together for one and a half. She’s always been responsible for waking him up for work, but this time, he never mentioned his work schedule. So, she didn’t set an alarm, and all hell broke loose.
