Eternal calendar alerts

I can't get my calendar alerts to shut up.

I set a 25 minute reminder so I won't be late for my 8:00 am job. at 7:35 it kicks off great, but then it will continue reminding me until the phone decides I've had enough.

If the phone is off, and the alert brings up the lock screen, i sleep and wake up the phone to get rid of the snooze button, and then i try all of the following:
1 pull down shade and dismiss alerts
2 pull down shade and open alert, then tap dismiss all
3 pull down shade, open alert, open calendar item

#2 is what the directions from the manual say to do, but my calendar continues to alert me for more than an hour after the event has started. which is really annoying.

I must be doing something wrong, but I don't see any other way to dismiss the alert. I've had edit my calendar (online) and remove my reminders.

Any suggestions?
