Worst way you've been woken up

[Jfswift]

Last night I was woken up by the loudest, most annoying hotel fire alarm in history, an hour after I fell asleep. I had to walk down 10 flights of stairs that smelled like piss, and stand in the 50 degree rain for half an hour in shorts and a tee shirt until the fire department cleared us to go back in. It turned out that there wasn't even a fire.

So Escapist, what's the worst, most annoying way you've ever been woken up?

That happened to me!! Only there wasn't rain and some overweight lady was being helped down the stairs by two gentlemen (and the three of them blocked it off from everyone else so you had to walk at their speed. Talk about panic!) It was cold outside and I only had half my clothes on - and there wasn't a fire either

Once I woke up with my face, head, and pillow drenched in blood. It had of course dried by the time I was awake and wondering what the fuck happened. To this day I still dont know, I like to think I may have gone on an axe rampage while sleep walking but it just seems a little far fetched.

Waking up to a bucket full of puke and a mother cleaning the carpets feeling like crap.

Scout camp way back when I was a scout. Some idiot in my patrol had left the gas lamp on and it had caught fire. Got woken up at some ungodly hour by a leader frantically shouting "WAKE UP!! GET OUTTA THE TENT! GO!! FUCKING MOVE IT!!"

I didn't understand until I saw the jet of flame and that horrible hissing noise of burning gas.

If he hadn't woken us I'd be dead...

all I can remember of one is evil jawa and an owl looking through your window at midnight both woke me up although I think the evil jawa was a mind trick due to lack of bring able to see properly and it being dark.

still both are pretty unpleasant was of being woken up.

My family dog running all over my bed. It's become routine.

Think it's the quickly-ripping-off-the-bandage as opposed to slowly pulling it off theory of delivering bad news? On the other hand, I passed on my father's news to my brother by handing him a glass of whiskey when I woke and told him.

Edit - So sorry about your girlfriend.

I don't think the whiskey helped but at least you did something else other than just saying it. Although bad news is bad news wether you take the direct or slow approach and nothing that someone is going to do or say isn't going to make you feel better.

I'm also sorry you had to go through that... I'd say I wish you or anyone else wouldn't have to go through things like that again, but it's innevitable. All the best!

This will probably seem timid compared to some. I woke with my balls squashed between my legs. I hate warm nights. You roll just the right way and *TA-DA* PAIN! It was also accompanied by a weird dream. Another time I'd fallen asleep in the wrong position. My arm was "asleep". Not just a little either I couldn't even move it. It was completely limp and floppy from the elbow down. It freaked me out a bit. Or a better one where BOT?H my arms were asleep. The alarm went off and I wound up smacking myself in the mouth.

...fire alarm...go to a University in Wales...Halls of Residence...'random' firedrill.

That's all you needed to say dude, I don't know who wires the bloody halls but they have the most heavy-duty alarms I've ever heard in my entire fucking life! My one is just a constant note, some pot-head (sorry Furburt but it always is) wakes up, fancies a smoke but doesn't fancy the rain since he can't use the shelter and everyone is woken up to:

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

It's the most caustically annoying sound anywhere in the history of everything ever, even the Enterprise had more soothing klaxons than this!

Myself I'd love to say this, but I have the unique horror of hamster-on-face. There is nothing like the confusion, mounting horror and annoyance of waking up after having had a hamster placed on your face.

Never had that one but I can definitely imagine it. I'd hate to wake up to rodent "fingers" on my face.

I'm not sure this can be topped, it was like straight out of a horror movie. I passed out on my buddys couch at a party and he woke me up with a chainsaw and hockey mask. I don't think i've jumped so high in my life.

My wife woke me up by licking my eyelids.

Christ.

Similar...

Air raid siren. All I was thinking at the time was "not a-fing-gain"... Eventually I just ended up sleeping in the basement bunker.

Waking up covered in my sister's vomit. When we were kids, we had to share a room and one night she was ill. She spewed everywhere. On her, me, our beds, she even hit the ceiling. The carpet stank so badly we had to throw it out that day, because nobody could bear to go in the room for long. She always says that the worst part was that she ruined her favourite stuffed animal (a lion called Zoo). But the worst part was definately waking up covered in that stuff. Not only did I get sick the next day, but I had a horrible rash where it had touched me. Fun times.

I opened my eyes and looked directly at a spider the size of my palm sitting on my face.

Oh my fucking god... If that happened to me, I wouldn't live to tell the story. ._.
No matter what anyone else has experienced, you have won the thread.

On a course in the military I woke up to this sound: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHApxh3pf0Q&feature=related about 13 times in one night. God did I hate my SQ course...

 

[TheSeventhLoneWolf]

In bed next to my (now) ex lover, realising she had broken up with me the night before.

 

[Fathoms]

on a vacation to Niagra Falls, I woke up to the joyus sound of car alarms at 1:30 in the morning after a moose wandered into the parking lot.

Waking up by falling out of my bed and hitting my head on the corner on my night stand...
