Keep a glass of acid beside your bed it will come in handy.

Don't go bed stay out on your porch with a shotgun works wonders.
Downside you will never sleep.

Booby trap your room so there are limited safe places to step.

Around Christmas there were lots of break ins around my area (very rural). Mr M was away for several weeks. I'm normally never scared at home on my own, but I had a nervous night or two when community alerts were bleeping on my mobile every evening. So I took the defrosting spray for my car, you know, the tall spray bottles you get in Lidl. I kept it there, beside my bed, sure does no harm.

I'd defrost the ****ers like chickens should the need arise.:D:cool:

Any trouble I reach for my piss bottle.

In case you're ever broken into, get yourself a small safe. Fill it up with pieces of newspapers. Lock it up and put it somewhere that you can easily see in your living room/kitchen. If you're ever broken into, they will more than likely take the safe thinking there's money in it.

If someone walked into the room to attack me, what would I do to defend myself?

Maybe a pair of blunt toe nail scissors, but I'd have to rummage to find them and I'd probably be murdered by then.
Should we all sleep with a knife under the bed? :pac:

I'm usually too tired to care.

Claw hammer in the bedside cabinet next to me here, as the bedroom window is double glazed and only opens at the top I want to be able to get out in a hurry in case of fire. Should also suffice to embed into the skull of anyone intending harm

I have a bat that I named alfred on my side of the bed incase anyone broke in, missus house was broken into when she was the only one in the place, so is sensitive to the issue hence alfred

Yep. My bigger dog wouldn't hear an intruder until they were beside her and then she'd probably give them a lick and lead them to the valuables.
My terrier on the other hand can't let a leaf blow by on a breeze without waking me to warn me about it. He's incredible. I don't think he ever truly sleeps.

I'm lying in bed thinking of what do i do with my life. I'm mid 30s, stuck in a job where I'm the office scapegoat. Trying to figure out what to do. I can't afford to go back to college for the third time in my life. And for what, for it all to go tits up again. I'll be 40 with no life and broke after college. Wouldn't be able to travel at 40 and can't exactly afford a mortgage now, i don't see that changing any time soon.

I'm getting older with nothing to show for it. I wish i can take 20 years of my life and start all over again at 18. That's what I'm thinking lying awake in bed tonight.

Yes. I'm sure all of us from time to time lay awake worrying about things. I do, I know.

It could be work-related, financial, or just general angst like worrying about dying. And worrying about dying is perfectly rational; I’m sure we all do it since we all know we’re going to die.

What’s not rational is worrying about dying because someone sneaks into your bedroom at night at kills you. That’s probably about as likely as being killed by a meteorite.

Worry about causes of death that are actually common.

I have a "That's not a knife....THAT'S a knife!!!" knife under my bed. Been there so long that it's probably rusty. Last time it was used was to pare a scratchy toenail when I couldn't find a pair of scissors.

And it might end up on Boards as another "I found a safe" thread

I have a Bob. Aka my other half.

Bob will slap with things..

I would use knifes and bricks..

Be like Bob. **** an object at them.

Using knifes might get a week of jail or a bill for bricks.

Bob would fire a few items that would kill a burglar.

If someone comes into my bedroom, I'm expecting someone to die!

I would ask them if they smiled at the cameras on the way up the stairs. Then leg it out the window.

The op was about what would happen if someone came into her room while she was in bed. This is not limited to murderers on the rampage, it could include thieves and even drunk people who get lost on the way home from the pub

(genuine story. After Munster won the Champions cup in 2006, my brothers wife was woken up by a young fella stumbling blind drunk and confused into her bedroom. He turned down the wrong corridor in a block of flats and somehow got into her flat. Yer man hadn't a clue where he was and thought she was in his room and was demanding that she get out.. )
