This is a local news story about Ross Township, Pennsylvanian Jerry Lynn and the alarm clock that’s been going off inside his living room wall every day for 13 years. It’s not a very chill alarm either. I’m….pretty sure I would have burned the house to the ground 12 years and 11 months and 29 days ago.

Jim says he dropped the clock, tied to a string, through an air vent. Set to go off ten minutes later, it would let him know where to punch a hole in the living room wall to pass a wire through for a TV hookup.

“As I was laying it down, all of a sudden I heard it go ‘thunk!’ as it came loose,” he said. “I thought, well, that’s not a real problem. You know it’s still going to go off. And it did.”

So why didn’t you ever knock a hole in the wall and retrieve it? Were you trying to make yourself go crazy, because I feel like that would work. I imagine they probably just told themselves the batteries were about to die anyways, so why bother. 13 years later, here we are. I’m one of the world’s laziest people but I would have ninja kicked a hole in that wall and broken the alarm clock over my knee by day two. Then left a gaping hole in the wall, because I’m lazy. Eventually, my roommate will cover it with a poster like the rest of the holes I’ve ninja kicked through our walls.

Keep going for the news report.
