Absolute WORST way you've been woken up

Post by 2000AD »

In retaliation to Einhanders "best" woken up thread, what is the worst way you've been woken up.

One of mine happened a few days ago. My mother came running into my room screaming like a mofo. Apparently school had just rang saying i hadn't turned up for an exam. I managed to pull my self out of bed and go downstairs to the phone. Turns out they've accidently entered me into an extra exam by mistake, therefor i've been woken up for no reason. Does it stop. Noooooooooooooo. My mother (ref: http://bbs.stardestroyer.net/viewtopic.php?t=10203) has now got the idea into her head that i've not been entered into half my exams and is so obsessed she wont just let it drop! SO before i can get back to sleep i have to call up the school again to make sure i've been entered for the right exams. (which i have)

Here's another one: my alarm clock goes off and dazed I flip the off switch. It keeps going. I flick the switch a few more times. Still going. I pick it up and shake it. Still going. I take the batteries out. Still going. I throw it up against the wall breaking it. Still going.

I remember I have two alarm clocks......well.....one now......

Wake up hearing faint scratching/rustling sounds. In dark look around a see something moving quickly around the wall. Spend the next few minutes hunting down that stupid hamster to put it back in its cage.

vacation at the atlantic coast in france.
we didnt have an appartment and had no tents, so we usually slept at the beech. one day we decided to sleep at the parking lot for whatever reasons. the night before was totally drunk and stoned. at 7 in the morning we were woken up by the light of flashlights which were pointed at our eyes by the "police de municipal" who then told us that it´s illegal to sleep on the parking lot. :evil:

After a party where I got wrecked on booze and hash brownies (brownies laced with weed) I woke up the next day with some chick lying on top of me. Which is good except
a)we were naked
b)I had no clue who she was
c)I had no memory of the last 8-10 hours
d)I had no clue where I was
e)I didn't know if we'd had sex or not

Trying to get my drugged and hungover brain to understand all this led to some serious panic before I got a grip on myself.

Bad dreams aside, I'd say the worst way was when a tree fell onto my tent while on a hunting trip. I was very likly I didn't end up with a broken leg.

A ringing telephone. Jesus, there's nothing like being in a deep, sound sleep and having a telephone ring right next to your ear. It's the one noise I can't sleep through. And it's always some rude motherfucker trying to sell me something.

That's the worst way to wake up in general. The worst ever was probably the time my dad came into the house after he thought he'd killed a man who'd darted out on foot in front of his truck on I-76.

The only solution is to have sex. That way at least you'll be sure whether or not you'd had sex with her. :D

Hey, at least I didn't say, wouldn't it have been better if you had gotten a grip on her? :D

My cousin howling after a sleepover. He only tried it once, since I beat the living shit out of him for it.

He woke up before I did, crept over, and let loose a bloodcurdling screech right in my ear. I sat bolt upright, awake in an instant, trying to cold-boot my brain and figure out WTF was going on. Scared the shit out of me.

When I was four, sleeping at a hotel, my brother very slowly and carefully poured water into my ear, filling it. I promptly screeched like some messed up brakes. A long time ago, but I remember it well.

On a school trip once everyone was lined up in bunk beds. I was beginning to fall asleep. Then one of my friends jumped onto my bed and started trying to fake hump me. It was scary, I punched him a lot, so he went back to his bed.

Lucky I've honed my defense aginst that, that got tried on me in boot-camp by my Drill instructor, needless to say niether of us where happy after I groggly spun around and put my still steel-toed boot into his left check/nose and probably just for fun got enough of him to give him a black eye and a good nosebleed

Of course the problem was that I final wake up a few seconds later peak over the edge of my bunk and find Sarge on the floor with a nosebleed and one eye open stairing at me and he says

"I'm gonna give you exactly ten seconds to start running then I'm getting up, You don't wanna be here when that happens"
Needless to say that was worth an extra twenty hours of PT plus of course the 1.7 Miles of "Overland Running" I got in that morning and the fact when he finaly caught me he did not displine me in the old fasion method(Which I was not to scared of my mom was liberal with the belt so I got used to pain) but rather the fact I had to do the 1.7 Miles back by upside-down walking(Took me about an hour and half could barley move my arms for two days after that :( But the memeory and the standing ovation I got when I hand walked up the steps back into the Bunks was worth it :) (Sort of) )

Ha! All lightweight chickenshit problems. Wanna know the worst way to wake up in the morning?

Your beloved firstborn son stumbles into your room screaming, with blood all over his face. The range of emotions and terrifying thoughts that swirl around your head as you force yourself awake and begin checking him for injury are something that no fucking human being should ever have to go through. You will rarely see a man transition from unconsciousness to perfect clarity of thought and action as quickly as he does in that situation.

Here's a nice one you can play on all of your friends; Name & Number. Basically down at my friends beach house, alway a great couple of days mainly because we gut as drunk as a skunk! But anyway as the drinking games begin (a very good/bad one is to drink to Placebo's Pure Morning every time they say friend, or watch SW and skull each time Artoo beeps, or Chewie roars), and then we all choose a number (you can see where I am going with this can't you).

So as the weaker ones, or the ones that went too hard too fast start to fall by the wayside, you beging the interogation. When someone is asleep (give them a good half hour so they are totally passed out), you bust into their room with a torch shining on their face and scream at them; NAME & NUMBER! NAME & NUMBER!

You continue this until they get it right, but you must be carefull not to get into people's swinging range (one of my friends learnt that the hard way, I am very happy to say that I gave him a nice shiner :D ). But yeah that's basically the absolutely worst way I have ever been woken up (three times now)!

EDIT: I think Mike beats mine though. Damn man, what happened?

The thing is, I never wake up easily. For some reason, this case was different. Usually, I need to be pried out of bed with a crowbar.

I think Mike wins the cake here.

The worst way I've ever woken up was due to a bad leg cramp that went on for a good two minutes. Utter agony.

Waking up thanks to gastrointestinal problems isn't particularly pleasant, either.
