Chronically Late Alarm Clock

This alarm clock defies conventional timekeeping by continuously reminding users how late they already are. Its display cycles through various apologetic phrases and gentle reprimands to encourage timely rising. A built-in proximity sensor adjusts volume according to the listener's current stress level. As the day wears on, the Chronically Late Alarm Clock subtly amplifies its motivational messages, oscillating between guilt-tripping declarations ("YOU WILL BE LATE AGAIN") and inspirational affirmations ("TODAY IS THE DAY YOU START ON TIME"). Users who consistently rise before noon receive a special congratulatory tone and an optional "I'm proud of me!" sticker.
