Strange places you've taken a nap

jester77

After reading this story and remembering a story of some lad out in Bulgaria or Hungary breaking into a shop and sleeping in the bed in the window it got me thinking that some people do tend to take a nap in some strange places, especially with a few beers on them. Nothing wrong with this of course, I'm all for naps!

So where's the strangest place you've taken a nap or seen someone taking a nap?

I don't think I've ever taken one anywhere strange, slept in the porch of someone's house once, that was about it. I had a friend staying with me and he couldn't get into the house as I wasn't home so he went to building site next door and slept in the skip, using the wood, rubble and bits of insulation as a blanket. I also remember walking home from the pub one night and seeing a guy asleep standing, bent over with his head balanced on a 4 foot wall. Tried waking him but he was totally out of it, was impressed that he was able to actually even do that!

Skip

But that was alcohol related and more of a deep sleep.

Pj!

I've slept in ditches a few times. In various city centres. Never robbed.
In a bus shelter.
At the bar in my local a few times.
Oh and in an alley-way.

All drunk and all very true.

:eek: mad, that was one lucky bloke on the train track! I love that his only injury was a bang on the head when he woke up gold

Cant think of anywhere too weird other than the usual bus, train, plane, office, church type places, bathroom floor

Slept in a ****ty ryanair airport in belgium once, longest night ever!

That guy is a legend !


The freight train driver saw the reveller on the track and slammed on the emergency brakes.
But the train was carrying 3,000 tonnes of freight and was unable to stop in time.
It past over him - missing his head by inches - as the man slept through the ordeal.
But he did not get away completely unscathed.
He was taken to hospital with bruising after he woke up and banged his head on the underside of the train.

My dad fell asleep sober and supposed to be working, at a rugby match in landsdowne - he was wrecked

Rabies

while driving (scary)
getting a b/j (i was drunk)
supermacs toilet (drunk again)
on a stone stairs in greece (once again drunk)
bar
horse feeding room
on he ground outside a 24hr bar that was closed. false advertising, I was drunk so slept outside and waited for it to open


I'm sure there are many more stupid places to come.

I arrived back from a night out in Sydney, I was staying at a hostel.

Anyway, I had just been to the local kebab house, about an hour previous, and it was asking to be let out.

So, I went to the communal bathroom, entered the stall, whipped down the jeans and boxers, sat down, and fell asleep.

Someone robbed a recently bought trilby had from my head, but didn't bother to wake me up.

I woke up the next morning when some other poor soul needed to use the stall.

Cathmandooo

Someone robbed you while you were sitting on the toilet? that's hillarious! was the door wide open?

Just remembered I slept in a suitcase once, back in the day when I was seriously girly and needed to bring my whole world on hols with me :rolleyes: I lay in the suitcase as a joke and fell asleep, it wasnt too bad a sleep actually

Maple

Doorway of a pet shop in Galway. Went there without booking any hotel and went straight to the pub from the train. Only started to worry about the accommodation crisis once the pubs/clubs closed. Eventually myself and my mates settled down in the doorway of this petshop. We sat there drinking that brutal Hooch alcopop muck and entreating the random passersby to bring us home.

Quality name.

jester77

Reading some of these are after bringing back some memories.
I slept in a bus terminal in Stockholm.
I slept in the train station in Amsterdam, myself and a mate went there on the spur of the moment with little money. We were totally out of it but I still found it hard to sleep there. As I was nodding off I head a loud groan and saw a security guy standing over my mate, he was after giving him a boot to the midsection!
I fell asleep on top of a girl during sex, needless to say there were no phone nums exchanged the following morning!

On a plank of wood, in a boilerhouse, in a convent;)

Fell asleep in the garden a few times, grass is surprisingly inviting after a few drinks. Fell asleep on the roof once on a warm sunny day when messing about with the Tv aerial.

dr strangelove

Back in the UK, me and a mate were walking home in the pouring rain after a night on the pop, when we came upon a garden center with a large display of garden sheds. After a nod and sly laugh we picked one each, broke in (undid a twist of wire) and snoozed until some poor trainee found us at 8am the next day, not sure who was the more surprised - me or the poor bugger asking me if i was dead.

smashey

In an empty bath. It seemed like a good idea at the time.

Where the hookers hang out???

So maybe that's what Delia Smith meant when she took over the microphone at half time and shouted "let's be having you". I'd embed it if I knew how. But here's the link.

Third_Echelon

Toilet of an Aeroplane.

Somewhere between Paris and Mexico. The need to use the bathroom woke me up from a pretty deep sleep (No. 2s ). Got to the bathroom, began the proceedings and fell asleep as it turns out...

Someone banging the door woke me. They'd been waiting for 15 mins

Have fallen asleep at several concerts, usually backstage on or in a flightcase.

Charming. That's why someone needs to invent the plane toilet-armchair seat!

1. In the doorway of a tool hire shop in a pool of vomit.
2. In a bathtub,I fell in and it was too much effort to get out.

AlmightyCushion

Where to start?

In the middle of one of my lectures.
Leaning against a wall in a nightclub.
Leaning against a wall out side of said nightclub (Different night).
Leaning against the bannister in my friends house.
In the middle of the footpath.
On a car.
I think I may have also slept in a bath tub but I can really remember what happened that night.
And last but not least, while sitting on the toilet.

AckwelFoley

... when i was about 19 i fell asleep in a foot and a half of my own vomit.. can never understand where all the carrots came from

.. when i was about 25, i fell asleep in my sisters friend... you'd think Jailbait would be more interesting.

HashSlinging

Apart from the obvious floors and late buses that everyone's fallen asleep on, my sleeping habits are pretty incident free, with one minor exception. I have a very low boredom threshold so I have a tendency to nod off during presentations or particularly boring meetings at work. A couple of people know this and tend to watch out for it, sometimes to give me a nudge, but more usually for their own amusement. B*st*rds!

Nightwish

In work many times. I had my own office, so I could just put my head down.
In the shower in a hotel.
In a bus shelter in Helsinki.
In the check in queue in Helsinki airport.
In the car, while in the queue to drive onto the ferry at Holyhead. When I woke, mine was the only car left and the boat was almost ready to leave.
The kiddies playcentre on the Rosslare - Fishguard ferry.

Wishbone Ash

In the dentists chair (several visits) regardless of how painful the procedure is.

I don't understand it as I wouldn't usually be one for nodding off anywhere outside of bed.

johnnyskeleton

A guy I know feel asleep, mid-conversation, sitting in a chair but with his head and shoulders twisted 90 degrees so he could talk to us, with his arm under his head in the position of the thinking man. He had been working a double shift, but he stayed in that position for about an hour. It took us a good 20 minutes before we even realised he was asleep - he looked like he was engrossed in the conversation.

Zaph

A couple of times while out on the batter we had to leave behind a guy I knew because we couldn't rouse him from his slumber other than for him to tell us to p*ss off because he was happy where he was. The first time was on the steps of one of the Georgian office buildings on Leeson Street, the second was the bonnet of a Jaguar in Baggot Street.

orestes

I've done all the classic street and doorway stuff, but one stands out to me.

Down in Kilkenny on my lonesome for the comedy festival in 2006 my accomodation for the last night fell through so I figured I'd just get hammered and see what happened. Ended up sleeping in the grounds of a hospital under a hedge. And then I tugged one out just because I like a pre-sleep handy and I'm a creature of habit. I honestly dont know if I should be proud or ashamed
