What is the worst thing that has ever woken you up?

[OliveCrab]

A fire

Some of these are horrifying.
Mine was friends wanting a lift home when I was sleeping off lots of booze and nowhere near capable of driving.
My ex,on my birthday, telling me the dog was on the bed(get her to get off, then?!)
My dog throwing up on the pillow.
My parents arguing when I was a small child.

Phone ringing too early in the morning… with my Mum to tell me that my little sister took her life an hour earlier.

We had a poltergeist in my childhood home numerous times I would wake up to someone jumping on my bed. When I got older it got worse thank god for jack daniels!!!

The pain needs investigating if it recurs

The nearby water works was bombed by the IRA. I was about 8 at the time (height of 'the troubles' at the time). The ironic thing was my dad was in Belfast on a work trip & I had been terrified that he would get blown up.

Got woke up by huge bang and thought a bomb had gone off. Turns out our neighbours house had been hit by lightning and was on fire. I've never heard anything that loud in my life.

The sound of my dad having a heart attack at the top of the stairs and falling all the way down onto the tiled hall floor. He didn’t make it.
