"What is the worst possible way to be woken up?"

Reddit top voted answers...

My friends dad woke him up once by pouring a gas can on him. When my friend realized what was going on, his dad was lighting a match and threw it at him.... The gas can was filled with water. Never overslept for school again.

I was sleeping on an air mattress & my friend dove onto the other side of the mattress, bouncing me up into the air. I woke up not touching the ground, weightless, falling. It sure got the adrenaline going.

Waking up from a 9 year coma to find you're in a hospital in Cyprus, and armed men are slaughtering the entire staff and patient base in an attempt to assure your death that should have come long ago.

By an alarm, 7:30 am on a monday morning

For those who have dogs or cats: "The sound of GUH GUH GUH GUH" as your dog is about to throw up all over your bed or your floor.

Wake up, People, NSA

No Means No.

Agitprop video. They're trying to get us exercised about forfeiting our privacy. You see, *hand on hip* when you enjoy privacy as stone cold solid you tend to take it for granite.

Until it is taken away.

They say that in the video.

That part got me. Privacy like a physical thing that, whoop, there it goes. Who did that?

If you are like me you have no patience for videos like this. Zero. It ran and the guy droned in the background. I could have written it myself with my eyes closed and one hand tied behind my back and the other hand tangled in a mousetrap. Possible exaggeration there. And I imagine everybody similar to me.

And yet, the comments to this show a vast span of difference in opinion. That's why I'm bothering.

The whole premise of the video pisses me off. It does not work for me because I am not sleeping (on this issue), the assumption is offensive. They're talking to somebody else. Talking down to somebody else. Maybe you. Maybe this works for you. I would hope not.
