I recently watched “The Bear” on Disney+ (highly recommmended show!), and there’s this one episode (one of my favourites, btw) where the character Richie is staging at a restaurant and has to get up early in the morning.

So in several subsequent scenes you see his alarm clock go off at:

  • 5:38
  • 5:35
  • 5:32
  • 5:30

and finally at 6:36. I know it’s stupid, but… this irritates me so much!

First - this is a digital alarm clock. Who in the world resets it every evening to a different time?!?

Second - 5:38?!? 5:32?!? What’s with these times? These are times when you are born or when you die, but not when to set your alarm clock to. I mean, seriously.
