App Updates Create Violence in the Home

Just a little more than a year ago my husband bought me a tablet.  It is a Samsung Galaxy tab II.  I really enjoy having it around and especially enjoy all of the fun little sounds that it makes when it wants to notify me of activity on facebook, e-mail accounts or my Etsy store.  Oftentimes I find myself  reading articles, browsing facebook or KSL just before dosing off to sleep (I know they say it's bad for quality sleep, but it helps me unwind).
Last night I was waiting for a few apps to updates, and was semi-dozing off, when everything finished updating.  The Etsy CA-CHING cash register noise, Facebook Message notification sound and e-mail noise all went off at once... at the highest volume setting possible.  My knee-jerk response was to fling the tablet away from me while simultaneously hitting my husband with my free hand.
  Once I woke up enough to realize what had happened I laughed so hard I cried.   Every time I thought that I was calm enough to take a breath, I would get that silly tickle as I thought about the hilarity of the situation and start laughing all over again.
  So be careful with your technology.
