There's going to be a really awkward conversation at his next dinner party.

"Remember that nifty alarm clock you gave me last year? I finally got around to trying to set it up and....wow, what a piece of shit. I'm an engineer and I couldn't even get it working. After wasting an hour trying to set it up, I just threw it in the closet. Whatever engineer designed that thing probably doesn't even use it. It was a fun idea, but probably more useful for throwing at burglars. Thanks again haha"

Any of my friends/family would be laughing along with me, and giving me shit for not being able to setup "something as simple as an alarm clock".
