Worst/weirdest place youve seen people fall asleep

Collie D · 11-07-2016 10:30PM

In a pub toilet. Sat down, trousers around ankles, head against door. No idea how long for. Had told friends I was leaving but went to toilet first. When I woke they were gone.

Can't even claim it was a moment of drunken youthfulness as it was only two summers ago.

Knew a guy that fell asleep at a table, tipped out of the chair and promptly fell back asleep curled up on the floor

I found a friend sleeping on his back on the footpath outside a neighbour's house. Still holding onto his bottle of beer though. His brother pulled him by the legs across the road and in his own front door. That woke him.

my uncle in Kerry used to take donkey and cart to local every night. At closing time he would get in cart and donkey would know way home and stop in yard while my uncle slept it off until 5 am/
All the locals knew this and one night they were waiting. they lifted him off the cart, unhitched the donkey. and took the wheels off the cart.
They brought him.the donkey, cart and wheels into the farmhouse kitchen, reassembled the whole lot and put him back in the cart.
Course he woke as usual at 5 am.......thought the fairies had got him/
Tried to tell his friends but ( all knowing what happened) told him he was dreaming

Fell asleep in a Cinema when I was about 16.
Woke up alone and in total darkness.
Had to break out of the place and got in unbelievable **** because I broke a tiny window in the toilets to effect my escape.
Got fined, had to pay for new window glass, and barred for three weeks from said Cinema.
Jeez, the injustice.

I'm deleting the oul subscription to this thread because there are hardly any "Thanks" to posts and I'm particularly pissed off that nobody "Thanked" my post about actually falling asleep on top of a woman during sex. FFS! Can there be a worst or weirder place to fall asleep, considering your knob is inside another person!!!!

Saw a young boy, couldn't have been more than 5 or 6 asleep on the pavement outside the Hilton hotel in Ho Chi Minh, dressed only in a light vest and shorts. It was a fairly respectable part of the city with a lot of international hotel chains in the area which probably made it all the more jarring to see a small child so destitute. Here was this tiny little fella fast asleep on the footpath with tourists passing in and out of the hotel not paying any heed. I had never encountered that level of poverty before and wasn't sure how to respond. Eventually a police woman came along and gave him some food so at least somebody was keeping an eye on him. I still think about him, wondering if he ever managed to find a more permanent home and a safer and more comfortable place to sleep at night.

When I was small, I used to pull the laundry out of the dryer when it was dry but still hot, pile it into a huge laundry basket my Granny had, and climb on top. It was so warm and soft and heavenly. I'd still do it if I could fit.

I have a tendency to fall asleep in the foetal position under the duvet at the foot of the bed. I seem to spend more of my time in hospital than out of it, and during my most recent stint, several times the alarms were raised because the nurses doing the hourly checks thought I'd gone AWOL. When in fact I was just curled up at the wrong end of the bed.

Oh and another night I went to the loo, came back and spooned in a friend's bed across the ward from me. Imagine!

She took it well, thankfully she was sound and just laughed the next day and told me I was a gob****e, but isn't that a nightmare ... going into a psychiatric hospital, and having one of the other patients cuddle-raping you in your sleep!

Good Post

It's actually horrendous how some kids are forced to live.
Yet Vietnam is able to spend vast amounts of money on it's Army while some of it's childern are desititue.

Although in saying that we're not much better
I've seen mothers with their kids sleeping in their arms begging on the Streets of Dublin.

The jax of the Left Bank in Kilkenny. Woke up to see bouncers arms coming over the door and I fought them off thinking I was seeing things. We all had a good laugh as I was being casually escorted out.

My friend fell asleep in a hotel corridor at a wedding. The night porter found him and couldn't get any info from him so put him in an empty room just to get him out of corridor. He woke the next morning to a room identical to his own but it was obviously empty of belongings.

He had no recollection of what happened so he marched to reception saying his room was robbed 'they took absolutely everything' until the receptionist told him what happened he piped down a lot then. Very embarrassing for him but it gave us all a bit of a laugh.

I was awoken one night by two gardai that had a report from a distressed young lady that she couldnt get up the stairs to her apartment due to a naked gent asleep midway up the staircase.

I had been on the lash and sleepwalked out of my apartment and promptly fell asleep out there.

The Gardai questioned me briefly and brought me back to my apartment door and knocked for a while before waking my girlfriend and asked her if I belonged to her!

A few other questions as well as in had we had an argument or something before they would release me back into her care.

Best thing was I had a police scanner in my bedroom blaring away and they assumed it was coming from their car parked 3 floors down.

I was very lucky now that I think of it... I fell asleep leaning over the edge of the ferry leaving Aranmore Island in Donegal one morning at 8am. We had gone straight through the night partying and I decided I had to escape the debauchery. I drifted off while I was staring at the waves. The deck hand woke me up when he came round looking for tickets approaching Burtonport.

Miss Demeanour · 13-07-2016 01:03AM

One night was out with a fella who my dad happened to like very much.
Same fella proceeded to knock back about 10 pints and copious amounts of shots. He after "walking" me home collapsed on my da's car bonnet and rolled under the car where he promptly went into a sound sleep.
Knocking on the door panicking I happened to get the blame "you are very selfish making the poor lad go out when he was working hard all week!....he's obviously wrecked!!??"
Dafuq!? I didn't even drink at the time!!!

The Raptor · 13-07-2016 01:08AM

I was on holidays last week. It was hot, was out touring all day, i couldn't stay awake anymore, so i sat down on a bench for 5 minutes. Then i lied down and fell asleep. It was only meant to be a power nap. woke up when some random stranger ran up to me and slapped my arse.

rodge68 · 13-07-2016 01:11AM

What a great thread and something I hadn't thought of much and now realise how many stories I have..best/ worst one is waking up at the bottom of my parents bed after crying my eyes out...very drunk..
Jeez I have fallen asleep in so many places, under cars, boots of cars ..Outside of Leisureland Galway in December..
But the best story is of my friend falling asleep against iron railings (Cork city 1990 at Prince) his head slipped through the railings and he got stuck, everyong gone..no mobiles back then..tis a good thing a young Graham Norton didn't come by..

Another 2 stories..
Friend of mine found his father asleep at the wheel ...he ( the father) was a Garda at the time..
Heard of another lad who drove his car into a flood, stalled it and woke up hours later with queues of people either side..he got pneumonia afterwards..he learnt his lesson..

Fell asleep on the toilet one time. Was experiencing the absolute worst case of gastric flu I've ever had - genuinely wishing for death at some points - and my hubby came in to check on me and found me out for the count on the jax holding my puke bucket in my arms. Classy.

Also fell asleep while getting a tattoo and during an MRI. Not sure how I managed that!

Lady is a tramp · 13-07-2016 03:12AM

In a roofbox stored in my parents garage when I was a kid. I climbed in there to read a book (as you do) and my mum found me asleep there a few hours later.

I also used to regularly take naps in the hot press!

Fell asleep in the dentist chair.

Blind drunk tourist falls asleep on roof of Darwin shopping centre ....soon as I saw that I thought...he must be Irish.

I fell asleep in the jacks of a bar in Cavan. Woke up to find only the cleaners in the place.

jamesbere · 13-07-2016 08:16AM

Fell asleep outside a petrol station before, had a notion to thumb home and obviously didn't get very far.

Speedwell · 13-07-2016 08:37AM

I used to regularly fall asleep in the dentist chair, but I used to go to an enormous university dental school for my treatment, so they would numb me out and then concentrate on their work instead of trying to converse with me. Bored to death with nothing to do so I just "checked out".

My mother, however, had narcolepsy and regularly exhibited "automatic behavior", so I'm in the running to win the thread by default.

No, really. Narcolepsy can put your waking mind to sleep in "sleep attacks" while leaving some part of it "awake" and doing things. Her best story was about having a sleep attack while making potato salad for a picnic. She woke up and realised that while asleep she had cut up the potatoes without peeling them, had put most of the dish together by memory without looking at the recipe, had used commercial sweetened whipped cream in place of mayonnaise and added maraschino cherries, and had eaten about a third of it.

My best story of her falling asleep while functioning is that when I was eight or nine she used to do it fairly regularly while driving. She would follow the traffic safety rules, everything very right and proper, but we'd wind up in some random place ten or fifteen minutes away from where we intended to be. Never an accident, never pulled over. Nothing I could do about it when I realised it was happening, either, because it would have been more dangerous to attempt to wake her up. I mentioned it to her doctor and he sorted her medication dosage out right quick.

Lad i know fell asleep in the toilets of a well known kebab take-away on Dame Street. He woke up about 6 am ..the place closed and the shutters down. banged on the shutters and the alarm went off , the Gards and the owner showed up. The owner was very apologetic, seems the staff never bothered to check the toilets before they closed up.
