What is the worst way you've woken up?

I can't think of the worst way. But there were many unpleasant ways.
When I was a little girl and not sleeping in my nightgown properly, the blankets were all off me and it had ridden up, exposing my naked ass. Mother woke me up by smacking me on it. Which I thought was unfair because it's not like I knew as I was alseep.
And if you count waking up then going back to sleep... then one time, I scratched my knuckles on my wall. Hurt like hell but I was really tired. I remember groaning in pain, sucking on it to soothe before I was out.
When I woke up again, I saw it in the light. Pretty bad.

This was quite a few years ago, but the worst way I was woken up was in my college freshman dorm by my folks surprise visiting at 8am. With no pants to my name. Half-broken glasses. A bottle of everclear on the desk. And still totally hammered.
Most awkward day ever.
Captcha was BE CAREFUL.
No shit.

Similar to yours but with me I managed to hit myself in the face when I tried to move my arm -_-BlazeRaider said:
Three different ones.
First: Physical pain:
Waking up because of a charley horse in my calf super painful.
Second: External interference: needs a bit more explanation:
When I was a teenager I had thrown a party at my house. Some stayed overnight, and the next morning I was sleeping (obv), and two of my friends decided to get my laptop, open it up to goatse, place it right in front of my face and scream in my ears to wake me up.
Oh god I freaked out so much.
Third: Internal disturbance

I had a dream that my cat was running around, and she went to jump up on a curtain to climb it (like she's prone to do) but instead of catching on the curtain gives way and she goes out the open window behind the curtain. She lands on the ground like 4 stories below, and her back paws break off and she's trying to crawl around :'(
I woke up immediately, I was so terrified. I just wanted to move and feel tha she was okay and safe next to me. But my body was so cold (I've rolled around in snow banks in a bikini before, and that was like sunbathing on a beach in the summer sun compared to how cold I felt waking up there).
I tried so hard to be able to move my body, but my mind was just freaking out way too much for me to move.
Never watching another horror movie again. Positive that's what made this happen
(I'm freaking out more than a little bit just remembering it)

Sleep paralysis sucks. I'm lying there with my eyes either pasted closed or pasted open and having a total night terror. I don't know what I'm afraid of, but I'm scared sick of SOMETHING, dagnabbit!
It's only happened three or four times, but all of them sucked.

friend of mine once thought it would be hilarious to wake me up by stomping on my balls. I threw up from the pain and shock.
I got my revenge though, the guy has a crippling fear of snakes, so I got a corn snake (perfectly harmless), slid it into his bed, and filmed the whole thing.

Freezing cold with mosquitoes biting at me (as they were the night before) and birds right outside that wouldn't shut the fuck up.

Being kicked awake by my neighbour for passing out on the outside staircase leading up to our units.
Came home drunk as a teenager after hooking up with an older girl and my dad caught me. In one hand he was kind of proud of me, but on the other, he was pissed and was determined to make me suffer for it.
Apparently that day I promised to clean up my room, but didn't, so when I came home drunk I told him I'd do it in the morning because I was gonna pass out at any given moment. He wasn't having it, so by the time I fell asleep on my futon he threw a bucket of cold water on me and told me to get cracking (at like 2 am). I said "fuck'm" and tried to go back to sleep shivering cold, until he came back in like 20 minutes and physically threw me out of bed.
Was the first time me and the old man got into a fistfight, but not the last. Family tradition at this point.

I've had that half a dozen times, have narrowed it down to sleeping on couches with my neck crooked over the armrest. Each time it was like waking up without control of my body, and not being able to open my eyes or breathe. In 1-2 of the situations I was able to focus on getting one arm to work as commanded, usually straining to reach up at thin air just to get my faculties back until I take that deep breath and wonder what the fuck is going on.lacktheknack said:

You unfortunate enough to have a nightmare right before it. Basically, in sleep paralysis, your brain wakes up before your body. This results in awareness and sometimes small motor movement (eyes, for instance), but your body is still asleep. This can cause extreme cold (as happened to you), auditory/visual hallucinations (those suck so hard), nausea, and general terror (your brain totally panics during the experience). And, of course, paralysis.

It's often known as "The Devil On Your Back".
So far, there's no way of decisively triggering it if you have isolated experiences, so your horror movies should be safe. It's really really freaky when it happens to you and you don't know what it is, so I hope I helped.
When I was around 14 I brought a combat knife home with me from Thailand. Well my older brother (6 years older than me) thought it would be amusing to poke me with the knife while I slept. so yeah you can imagine it ended pretty badly. I woke and saw a knife coming at me and I did what I think any person with a sense of self preservation woudld do, yeah you guessed it I stuck my hand out to protect my body and ended up nearly cutting my fingers off.
The surprising thing is that it didn't even hurt, but there was bloody literally eveywhere and I mean everywhere. Had to rush to hospital to get it all stiched up and my mum practically killed my brother for being so utterly stupid. So yeah I 'll just conclude by saying the following, 'honestly who pokes a sleeping perosn with a kinfe and expects it to go well?' and he's supposed to be the older more mature brother (rolls eyes).

This morning, with my mom losing her shit because wait for it... last night, I accidentally took out quartered chickens, rather than whole chickens to defrost. Not to mention yesterday. Renovations, fun for the whole family! I need my beauty sleep! I'm not even in my own room for the next few weeks!
