When you set an alarm clock, that is "coming on." When the alarm clock sounds, that is "going off." When you push the button on the alarm clock to make it stop, that is also "going off." There are many other things in the world that is kinda backwards like that, so don't feel bad, lol.

Why do we park on driveways and drive on parkways? Why do they call them apartments when they are so close together?
