Stupid things you do when half asleep.

    Yesterday morning I went to put petrol in the car before work.

    Knowing I had a twenty in my wallet I decided to put a tenner of petrol in and I could use that tenner today to get my hair chopped.

    I just cruised into the petrol station, sleepily handed the girl(I think) the twenty while saying to her "Tenner on number 1" and walked out.


    I went until about 12 pm on my lunch break when looking into my wallet that I realised what I'd done, felt like a gobshíte. :o


    Any stories from the early morning when half asleep?

    Leave a pizza in the oven and come back 20 minutes later to see that the oven wasnt turned on. Nearly kill myself when driving.

    No, it was a straight out fail on my part.

    Fuck the tenner, I'm more concerned that you're driving around in a car whilst half asleep.

    I've done the oven thing too, a lot. A speciality of mine is lashing on the clothes and half out the door by the time I realise its the weekend. I often grab a sneaky nap for an hour when I get home in the evening, and with the bright mornings /evenings I wake up confused.. cue me running down the stairs again thinking Im running late :rolleyes:



    A lad I used to work with had to come down from the north every day, and upon asking him does he not be bollixed doing that all the time he said. 'ah it doesn't bother me anymore. sure I get into the car half asleep, and before I know it I'm outside the job, wondering how I got there.' :eek:

    Haven't so much done the oven thing, but I've done it with the kettle.

    Teabag in cup, kettle filled... off I go to do summit for a minute or two, come back and I forgot to put the kettle on :mad::mad:

    I wake up fully the minute I get out of bed but like you I see plenty of semi conscious idiots driving every morning :rolleyes:

    I'll have you know I'm an impeccable driver ;)

    Not one of the "no indicating, lane changing, tail gating, lane hogging" gobshítes I see every morning on the M50. :D

    What has my username got to do with it?

    Yes you probably are but not when you are half asleep ;)

    Symptoms of driving while half asleep ;)

    i cracked my missus square in the face with a head butt about a year ago. I was in a fight in my dream, she tried to wake me and ..em i dont know, but i launched in with a head butt. I didnt hit her that hard as it broke nothing, but it hurt none the less.
    Normally its only flying hammer fists or id be talking in my sleep- its at that point she fishes for informaton

    Attempting to tidy after breakfast, milk in cereal press and cereal in the press with bowls. All very confusing.

    Remember waking up one morning late for work, threw on the trousers and shirt and raced into work and tore up the stairs to clock in. On my way back down the stairs i saw 3 girls laughing !! My boxers that i had taken off the previous night were hanging out the leg of my trousers completely unknown to me :o

    (It happens when you (lazely) take trousers and boxers off at the same time :D)

    I can remember doing similar! Almost used Savlon Antiseptic cream once as toothpaste.

    I remember years ago going to have a bowl of Cheerios and there was no milk. I thought they'd taste well with just cold water. I was wrong.

    I had work at 12pm one Sunday, I woke up, saw it was quarter to 3. Got dressed quickly, Ran down the road in a panic, to realise it was only quarter past 9.

    Another morning, I poured milk into the coffee jar instead, ugh!

    My linen basket and toilet are directly opposite and twice I've stumbled into the bathroom sleepy eyed and lifted the lid on the toilet on to throw my jocks in there and then turn around and wizz in the linen basket.

    Also, I'm sure I'm not alone on this but put cereal in the fridge and the milk in the press...

    Sleepy-eyed or pissed? :pac:

    When I was pissed I did something way worse... Came home hammered, crawled into bed with the missus with plans of getting up to hanky panky, which we did briefly.

    I fell asleep then awoke in the middle of the night with a rampant urge to urinate. Went to toilet, began the process but didn't hear the splash in the bowl :confused:







    .....was still wearing the condom.


    Worst part was trying to wrestle it off without blasting myself in the face.

    I got home one morning and to my surprise there was milk and a sliced pan beside me in the car, I didn't remember buying it or where I bought it, I just knew I was hungry so I must have stopped off to buy it.Freaky stuff!
