Today, after coming home from an AFL match in Melbourne at about 11pm, I saw a woman asleep on the train as we neared the end of the line. Being a nice person, I went to wake her, to which she started screaming and trying to punch me. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I fell asleep on the train after a long day at work. I woke up when someone gently tapped my shoulder. I opened my eyes to see people smiling at me. I'd been snoring so loud that the conductor had said, “Please wake Sleeping Beauty up, this is the last stop.” I had drooled on my tie and missed my actual stop by an hour. FML
Today, while on the bus, I began to fall asleep. Suddenly, a man next to me started laughing very loudly, scaring me and jolting me out from my nap. I was so scared, I reflexively punched the girl in front of me in the face. I was pinned down by three other men while the cops were called. FML
Today, before I went to work, I wanted to kiss my wife goodbye while she was asleep, She punched me. FML
Today, there was a pretty girl sitting near me on the train home. I thought about asking for her number., but instead a drunk nitwit decided to wander around the car and came very close to touching her. She got up and moved to the other end, while I had to deal with a belligerent hobo who was now intent on fighting me. FML
Today, on the train, I was sitting next to a cute girl I didn't know. She fell asleep on my lap by accident and I just let her for the whole train ride. This is the closest I've ever been with a woman. FML
Today, while on the skytrain, a woman leaned on the railing bar that I was holding onto, crushing my hand. My first instinct was to move my hand when she turned around and began loudly yelling at me for, "Touching her waist" and "Sexually harassing" her. FML
Today, I bumped into a lady, apologised and tried to continue on. She screamed assault and tried to citizen's arrest me. I've got better things to do, so I ignored her but she latched onto my leg like a toddler. I ended up dragging this insane woman up the street until she finally let go. FML
Today, I was quietly reading in the subway, when all of a sudden, at a station, the man sitting next to me stood up, slapped me, yelled "Bitch!", and rushed off the train. FML
Today, while riding the train, some druggie got into a dispute with some random passengers. Even though I didn't even look at them fighting, he decided I was a threat and punched me, a pregnant woman, and some bikers. Now I've got a black eye. FML
Today, I was having a dream that I was climbing out of a well. While almost out, I felt someone grab my knee; I screamed loud in terror. When I opened my eyes, nearly 25 people were staring at me. The lady across from me apologized for hitting me with her bag. I was on the C-train. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Although she shouldn't have done that, you never know what might have happened to her in the past to make her have a reaction like that.

You probably just scared her. Don't worry OP, you did the right thing, sometimes people react in a negative way due to no fault of your own.

This reminded me of a scene in step brothers "NEVER WAKE A SLEEP WALKER!"

A lot of people wake with a fighting spirit. Imagine what the alarm or her husband must go through lol

My mom just about punched a nurse once when she was waking up from surgery, so I'm not surprised by what happened to OP.

Was it the Frankston line? If so, I feel your pain.

she shouldn't have done that, but everyone's fighting a battle in their own backyard. just try to be understanding bc maybe she's been through something traumatic for a reaction like that one

approached, not neared.

Might want to check yourself before you try correcting people, neared is also valid.

That's why if I noticed that here, I'd just alert transit and they'd probably send somebody out to check on her and handle it but I don't how easy that is where you are, here I could just tweet them. People can be violent when they're woken up, I've swatted at my mom when she's woken me, because I was startled. Imagine how terrifying it would be to be woken by a stranger? I'd freak the hell out if I woke up to a stranger touching me. Plus I know from experience here a lot of people passed out on public transport are drunk bums and they get quite scary. I'd rather let authorities deal with it, they're more experienced in handling such situations. It is great that you tried to be helpful, but imo it's best to just leave it, report it if you're concerned.

She was probably having a bad dream.
