Before alarm clocks were cheap, people in Britain paid a stranger to wake them up.

They were called knocker-uppers. Every morning they walked the streets with a long pole and tapped on bedroom windows until the worker inside got up.

Some used a pea shooter instead. In London, Mary Smith fired dried peas at windows to wake her customers.

And who woke up the knocker-upper? People were asking that even back then. Tag the friend who needs one.
