    Well this morning i woke up behind my couch, which is probably in the farthest room from my bed room, seeing as I'm in the attic and the sitting room is on the ground floor, but not only that i obviously pulled the couch away from the wall as to sleep behind it...:rolleyes: so just wondering, where is the weirdest place you have ever woken up in?

    In a student dorm - legs outside the door to my room and my upper body inside the room. Alcohol may have been the cause of this state.

    Sadly, a bunch of nettles.

    did you fall asleep in nettles or was that due to sleep walking? :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,986 ✭✭✭✭mikemac


    Work night out in Templebar and needed to get home to Artane.
    If you don't know where that is, it's about 4km north of O'Connoll St.

    No taxi's so walked it.
    Must of got tired on the way there as I woke up in wasteground on the North Circular Road.

    Not sure how I cleared the gate with barbed wire while drunk.
    It certainly took me ages to get back over the gate.

    No...it was one of those unexplainable blackouts. One minute, I was with the lads, drinking, it was still quite sunny and warm out, go to take a sip of my drink - and the next second - literally, it genuinely felt like one second later - I was lying in the pitch black, in a bunch of nettles, going...what the deuce....

    It was seriously like time travel....very freaky! Even now looking back I think there was something suspicious going on there...

    if you changed the end of that to say "and woke up in a shítty bathroom with a chain around my ankle" it would have been the perfect start to Saw IV

    Nah I think Saw IV should be virtual...like Cube and Tron mixed together...or something.

    I went out on the lash with a load of college friends in first year to celebrate finishing out exams. We went to all our usuail haunts in Cork such as the Franciscan well, the brog and so on. Great night all the way up until we started on the Jegenmeister and red bulls, woke up very hung over the next day at 2:00 in a stange and unfirmilar bedroom in an unfimilar house.
    Went down stairs and a family were having lunch at the table.
    Very uncomfortable situation as I knew no one there...
    Turns out that my self and the lads got in a car with a friend of a friend going to a house party in mallow....
    I made my appollogies and left going to the train station and back to cork.
    Weirdest night ever and havent drank as much since.

    In a garden with my legs still hanging over the wall.

    It was a short wall which i sat on while i was zombified, i obviously fell backward and fell asleep. How my new Caterpillar shoes werent stroked i'l never know. It was outside ziggys nightclub about 10 year ago.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,886 ✭✭✭beans


    On the grass behind Christchurch cathedral, near the civic offices. Jacket, bag stolen.

    Had been drinking in Handel's on Fishamble St., second pint, felt woozy and went outside for air. Woke up ~45 minutes later. Can only assume that my pint was diddled in some way, very disconcerting.

    dunlaoghaire pier, 5:38am, wearing nothing but a fishing rod and a life jacket. I had been out drinking in cornelscourt until 12 ish, then bam there i was. I did eventually find my clothes, much to my relief.

    A few years ago I was out at 42nd Street nightclub in Manchester and by the end of the evening I was rather over-refreshed. :D

    Can't remember what had happened towards the end of the night but next thing I knew I woke up in a seated position and was in complete darkness. It was darker than night, I literally could not see my hand in front of me. I reached out to get some idea of my surroundings. I felt around and realised I was enlosed by four walls in a very small space indeed.

    Eventually I found what seemed to be a handle or something and managed to get out of that room into another larger, but equally dark room. I was very confused indeed and had no idea where I was or what was going on.

    I eventually found another handle and made my way out of the second room into another space. It was equally dark but I could somehow sense that it was a larger space due to some draughts blowing about. I was really starting to get bewildered now. Then I noticed a small yellowish light in the distance. Having no idea what was going on it made sense to go towards it.

    I had to negotiate quite a few obstacles along the way and cracked my shins of a few things. Anyway, I eventually approached the light and there was some text emerging from the light. The text said "Strongbow". It was a friggin Strongbow tap.

    It was then that I realised that I must have headed off for an aul drunken sleep in the toilets in the club before kicking out time and no one checked the toilet I was in. I didn't know what to do. I was worried about getting into trouble and needless to say the phone had died on me. I started to head towards what I thought was the way out and pushed through an alarmed door. Suddenly a mad alarm started going off which panicked me even more. I now just wanted to get out of there asap. Eventually pushed through another door and fell out onto a side street only to be greeted by several vehicles full of Greater Manchester Police.:eek:

    It was 5am.

    Thankfully they realised what had happened and that I was no criminal so just told me not to be such a drunken bollox and to go home. I went home.

    I was on holidays in Greece last week, having a very pleasant dinner on our last night with my bf. Finished the meal, suddenly felt dizzy and blacked out. I woke up on the floor with 5 Greek men and my bf standing over me. I had no idea where I was for about 3 or 4 minutes, I thought I was in some wierd European film. Then the Greek waiter got really upset because he thought he'd poisoned me. I thought he was going to cry... that was a pretty wierd night. Expecially as i hadn't had a drop of alcohol.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,579 ✭✭✭jimi_t


    Clinging to the banks of the dodder, half-in half-out of the water... Had a nasty jagged tear from knee to crotch of my jeans from climbing in through a construction site over razor wire. I've no idea how I didn't absolutely mutilate myself on the way in...

    But I mean, if you're only going to have one major blackout in your life, make it a big one :o

    In one of those large commercial wheelie bins in Killarney. Lucky too, what woke me was the vibration and noise as the bin man was pulling it over to the truck.

    I'm afraid it is true but there's no possible way I could elaborate, or prove it without implicating myself and others
    Don't mind if people don't believe me, I wouldn't.
    But rest assure, it happened!
    And I'm not talking about the grounds either!

    Woke up naked in a house I did not recognise, under a fold out couch bed that had flipped, whacked me in the face waking me up, and left me covered in blood.
    Luckily it turned out to be a friends house.

    Under a tree in west Philadelphia.

    To this day I've no idea how I got there.

    1. A street in downtown manhattan (longgg story)

    2. A single bed with about 6 polish people sleeping on it in New Jersey (the house didnt have electricity and there was loads of Polish people drinking vodka straight in the dark the previous night, it was very blurry)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,790 ✭✭✭cornbb


    I woke up in the hot press once when I was a kid, complete with blankets, duvet and pillow.

    My parents told me I must have sleepwalked in there.

    In hindsight, I think they played a hilarious prank on me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,789 ✭✭✭✭ScumLord


    On a footpath in Bunol near Valencia surrounded by thousands of people just before the start of La Tomatina. I got sprayed with freezing cold water then some **** riped the t-shirt off me.

    A sunday morning woke up in a pile of puke on a main rd while people walked passed on the way to mass. I was young and blue label vodka meant nothing.

    Sitting shirtless on the EuroStar, on the way to France. My face all blacked up like one of those old time minstrel dudes. With "I love 11 year old boys" tattooed across my chest in permanent black marker and a teddy bear glued to the side of my head. I instantly stood up, only to find that my pants were down at my ankles and the stem end of a rose had some how managed to get itself lodged in my anal cavity.

    I love my friends :)

    My wierdest place to wake up is definitely this:

    I was in Adelaide, staying in a hostel. Remember getting back after a night out, got to bed no problem. Woke up next moring in a different bed, in a different room. No pillow, my head very fuzzy from drink. I looked across the room, and there was a guy in a bed on the other side of the room looking at me in a puzzled manner.

    I asked him 'how did I get here', to which he replied 'I don't know, when I went to bed there was a girl asleep there'. I had no idea how I got there. I was on the first floor, my room was on the second. To top it off I had only my jocks on me. There was a toilet across the corridor from this new room, and I can only asusme I went looking for a toilet in the middle of the night, ended up finding this one, and just went into the nearest room to go to bed again. I have had a few sleep walking while drunk incidents, but this is definitely the weirdest one.

    C'mon.. this is a story that needs to be told, albeit with characters 'X' and 'Y' etc.

    I woke up in a disabled toilet once, no alcohol involved. One of my mates came home from a night out, jarred, and crawled into bed with his parents, but I'd imagine he wasnt there for long!

    I am prone to sleepwalking but drinking tends to make me fall asleep in the most bizarre places especially if I go out after working a 10hr shift after a week at college.

    Have woken up at the bottom of the stairs, legs stretched out in front of me and head on the floor, very sore.

    Have fallen asleep in the shower with my clothes on. Also wearing my shoes of all things?

    Once whilst living with a rather serious middle eastern flatmate I fell asleep after falling on the way to the bathroom entangled in a telephone cable in the corridor. He wanted me to attend AA!

    Have also woken up after going to bed in my own room only to find myself wearing different pyjamamas in my friends bed.

    There are other stories probably much better but far too embarassing to share.
