Worst wake-up call ever?

Dave!

Hey folks,

had an unpleasant wake-up call this morning. It being Spring, and quite warm, I decided to leave my bedroom window open. There's a roller blind and curtains still keeping any unwelcome critters from waking me from my slumber. Or so I thought.

Woke up this morning with a really sharp pain on the back of my head. I thought it was my sister pinching me to wake me up, but then I heard a REALLY LOUD and REALLY SCARY "buzzbizzzbzuzuzbuzzzbizzzz!!!" and then I knew it was a (edit: bumble) bee. I jumped out of bed, and still hearing the buzzing, thought it was in my ear, so started shticking fingers in there to get the bee out, but it wasn't there. I stripped nekked, grabbed on a pair of shorts, and legged it outa there!

I had never been stung before -- it hurts!!! Especially first thing in the morning!!!

I went back in to find the culprit, and there he was dancing in victory on the window ledge. But I'm a nice guy, and I don't hold grudges, so I captured him in a glass, and set him free (out in the garden). Now he's off to kill again . . . . .

What's your worst wake-up call? Dog jumping on your groin? Girlfriend accidentally kneeing you in the groin? Mate throwing cold water over you? The alarm goin off and smoke billowing in under your door?

So what happens if there's an actual tornado on a Tuesday then? Will everyone assume it's just a drill and go back to bed? That could be some wake up when your roof flies off and you end up visiting the Wizard.

You see, this is exactly why I like Ireland.

Haha...excellent one....I hate cockroaches more than any other living thing

I didn't know that cockroaches could fly until I went to Queensland. What a shock that wsa to me first time. I thought it was bad enough they scuttled all over the palce, but flying too? Ugh. Horrible things.

Its worse being woken by a real warning, scared the bejaysus out of me a few weeks ago when one ripped right through here, wasn't sure what to do or what to expect.

Didn't know Oklahoma was a tornado hot-spot. Nearly got into a spot of bother when I was there years ago. Ended up in this place called Sherlocks, and the locals didnt take to kindly to the Irish? Know it?

Man i get wasps in my bedroom EVERY summer. I dont know where the f*ckers come from, but im so used to it now, that no matter how deeply asleep i am, as soon as i hear that buzz im up and out of bed like a light.
Worst ever wake up call was about 18, brought some absolute munter home from the pub, i was so drunk when i woke up id totally forgotten about it. Sat up in bed, my head is banging, and i think 'why the f*ck am i in my parents bed??' Look to my left, see said munter, and let out a groan of 'ohhhhhh f*ck'. I think she heard it too tbh...

I've seen the place but I've never been, it doesn't surprise me one bit the welcome that you got though...I find it pretty hard to fit in here, want to move state asap.

Boyfriend decided to be nice and bring me in a cup of tea one morning when he was calling me, but he tripped and spilt the tea all over me. Not the nicest wake up call I've had.

Hah, reminds me of when I was younger on a plane going to Spain with my family. The stewardess was offering tea, so I obliged. She filled the plastic cup and gave it back to me. I was at the window and my sister was beside me.

The tea was hot, as my sister was soon to discover, as it landed all over her

That's a pretty unpleasant wake-up call!

*snore* "Turn up the heat it is getting a bit nippy in here". It goes off at exactly 9am on the first Tuesday every month so if a tornado hits then, we're all ****ed.

My cat kneading my scalp with his clws demanding to be fed at 7 am (for fe..k's sake i was loving opposite the school and could have crawled out at 10 to nine) Never had a lie in cause of him.

The worst was when i was rudly woken by my mother to tell me about Princess Diana's death.

Around 4 times a year we head down to Tramore for a monster session in a college friends house. Each and every night we get mangled, and more often than not, one of the following songs is heard belting out of the speakers before 10 the next morning:

Purely random:
Islamic "Call To Prayer"
The Tokens "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" (wee-ah-mumba-way!)

Hardcore/Gabber/Trance (never good for headaches!)
Klubbhoppers "Buddy Joe"
3 Steps Ahead "Gabbers Unite"
Eddie Halliwell "Such Is Life" or "Murder Was The Bass"

Emo/Indie (because only an arse or a trendy would like either genre nowadays!)
Anything by Rise Against, Something Corporate or Fallout Boy.

God I love Tramore.

Worst wake up ever was waking up on the last morning of a ski trip and being in complete agony.. The day before i'd taken a bad fall and somehow managed to twist my testicle. Cue a lot of puking induced from the pain and a 2 hour ambuance journey in the snow... Followed by an operation and having to stay on my own in france for 4 days when EVERYONE else went home.

I win!

(Lads: to get an idea of the pain imagine the initial first two seconds of pain from a kick in the balls that goes right into your stomach just before the pain subsides... then take away the pain fading and instead of 2-3 seconds imagine it for seven hours
Ladies: Forget childbirth... this you will never understand)

Sounds horrendous....Did you get the amazing 'the pain is gone' euphoria at the end? Hope you were wearing clean undies!

No the pain is gone feeling was applied via anaesthetic

Peter, wake up! Thomas died in a car crash last night. :eek:

A bat flew into my room one night. I didn't know wtf it was. I guess that's what I get for leaving the window open. I turned on the light after hearing something flying about the place, hopping off of everything. When I turned on the light the room was shaking like mad (not really, the light was shaking of course!). The ****er was about the size of my hand and he scared the **** out of me. I promptly turned off the light and slept on the couch. I still don't know if he's in there, I was moving house the following morning.

Have you checked the bathroom?

Went to bed about 4am after work on a Saturday night. Woken 7am Sunday morning (does such a time exist?) to find a mouse in the corner of my room.

Mr. Mouse met Mr. Umbrella.

The headboard thumping me on the head and then seeing the fridge walk across the room:eek:

Then realised it was an earthquake... about a 5.5, I think,
I was on the fourth floor,
After the fridge stopped walking, I want back to sleep.

In Athlone!? When was this? You sure you weren't on acid?

Woke up one morning to see a VERY large spider looking back at me on my pillow. He said "Alright" and went on his merry way. It took me ages to get myself down off the ceiling.

Fog Horn.... not only was it a horrible way to wake up but it ended up ruining my day....
