Whats the most horrible wake-up you've ever had?

I've had two really creepy ones but am only listing one here.

I had watched Mythbusters earlier in the day and they were testing how to get out a car when underwater, which most likely brought this on. So, I was the passenger in a car which crashed into a river. The car went under and as the water entered my nose I woke up in a fright. I still briefly had a feeling of water in my nose, it was horrible.

Yes, yes but was the Myth busted or not?:pac:

Years ago, waking up with a massive hangover after a house party i reached for an open can of beer and took a mouth full...it was full of piss, tasted salty. Didnt drink beer for a week.

Party at Bear Grylls house?

after a staff party few people came back to mine for a few more woke up in the morning with my landlord in my room screaming at me to get my stuff and get out of his house. Unpleasant.

a funny one woke up to phone ringing at about 7 in the morning from a number i didn't know, answered it and said hello. Guy on the other end in a thick Dublin accent goes to me "Darren, tell me, is it you or Lisa selling the hash" me in my Kerry accent goes "I think you have the wrong number" he just says oh in a really embarrassed tone and i start roaring laughing down the phone at him.

Woke up in A and E with my head wrapped in bandages and blood all over the place. Had been in a pretty bad bike crash. Still can't remember what happened to this day.

One night I dreamt that i was awake,but when i woke up i was asleep

I was put in cast, "for a minimum of 6 weeks", the night before we had been celebrating finishing school and starting our summer holidays, those of you that have experienced it will know that having a cast during the summer holidays as a young fella is horrific

It could have been worse.

I woke up to some lad screaming. He was in the hospital bed opposite me. His screaming woke me up quite often over the next few weeks. Seems I was involved in a car crash. I was on the bicycle (the pedal type, not the motorised type), and went through the windscreen window. You could see the windscreen wiper imprint on my bicycle helmet :eek:

Well, it seems I woke up for the first time a few times before, after waking up from a 3 day coma, for something like 2 weeks I think. Temporary amnesia my folks were told. The crash happened the week before the end of 5th year in primary school. Got out of the hospital about 2 weeks before 6th year started, so just enough time to get a school uniform. No broken bones, but had a lump of skin (3" by 4" wide & a few mm's deep I think) taken off my left knee that had some glass (from the windscreen) in it.

Back on the bicycle a few weeks after that :pac: Stayed cycling until last year when the back wheel slipped on some black ice and I broke my elbow. Now I only cycle when the weather is good during the summer.

Woke up one morning to the phone ringing...20 seconds later my Mam walked up the stairs in tears, walked into me and simply said 'Mark hung himself. I replied with 'Oh right' out of complete shock and just stared out the window for a few minutes, then rang a mate and off I went to see the worst possible image in my life

Also, I once let the dog sleep in the bed. I woke up in the morning covered in doggy diarrhea. Not nice. Although the dog seemed fairly happy.

Waking up on a gurney in the Mater Hospital A & E in serious pain the night after an accident in which I broke an arm and a leg.

Fortunately, none as bad as most here though I do have an awful knack for spasming out just as I drift off to sleep.

I refuse to sleep on public transport if a stranger is sitting beside me anymore, the last time I spasmed was on a bus when I kicked the person sitting in front of me and elbowed the person beside me in the gut.

I remember having a sleep spasm on the train as well. Spasm'd and flung my mp3 player into the seat infront of me. Person must have thought I had physical tourettes or somthing. Still 15 minutes left on the train journey too
