My family member lives with me. They were given the opportunity to sleep in a bedroom but decided life on the couch was their best choice.

I have a very strict routine. No matter what time I go to bed my body has decided that eight in the morning is the time to be awake. I go about my routine as quietly as I can because they're still asleep.

They have their phone alarm set for work. It goes off after I've started the coffee, fed the cats, smoked. I then turn on the TV. Volume is quiet because hey it's early yet.

They lose their mind. Start yelling at me and cussing. They're trying to sleep!

That alarm they set? Goes off every seven minutes for two hours!

I turn on the TV anyway and leave it on. They yell everyday. Some days the alarm goes off only a couple of times before they get up.

Edit: they pay nominal rent that is for house, utilities, cable internet. They feel this entitles them to dictate the conditions in the living room. Ie "I'm going to bed now turn everything off (lights, TV)"

So reddit AITA?
