- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

I never understood the concept of wake up calls. We have had alarm clocks since a long time
When I was in my 20:ies, I had my alarm clock at the other side of the room and still managed to oversleep. I ended up having it under my bed close to the wall, so I had to crawl in under my bed (quite narrow space) pressing my body to the cold floor to turn off the alarm... and I never managed to turn that off in my sleep. But I would have preferred a wake up call... so, even though I have never used the service when staying at a hotel, I can see why some people use it.
I get it, I can also barely force myself to get out of the bed. It just feels a bit demeaning to have an employee call you to wake you up. But maybe that's just a personal thing
