Today, I had a rough day and was extremely tired. I took a nap on the couch, and woke up to a guy robbing my house. I pretended I was still sleeping, waiting a chance to grab him or run out safely. I ended up falling back asleep. FML

College Life
Packed lecture halls, a sketchy roommate and frat parties: welcome to college, the real thing.
Today, I fell asleep on the couch and woke up to find that I had slept through my house getting robbed. FML
Today, I took a nap on my couch. I woke up three hours later to my neighbor knocking on my door, asking if I was OK because looking from the outside in, they thought I was dead. Guess I sleep like I’ve been hit by a truck. FML
Today, after a long day at work, I fell asleep in my living room. When I woke up, I saw a man leaving my bedroom wearing my pajamas, and I started screaming as he casually left. The cops came and apparently he's mentally ill. He truly believed it was his house. FML
Today, I woke up in the middle of the night to get a glass of water. Groggy and disoriented, I bumped into several pieces of furniture and made a lot of noise. My dad woke up, mistook me for a burglar, and knocked me out with his fist. FML
Today, I was really, REALLY tired at work. I went to the restroom to take a little break, and must have dozed off, because I was awoken by my boss, knocking on the door of the stall. Apparently, I had been snoring. FML
Today, I put my headphones on and laid down to relax to some music. I fell asleep, and woke up later to a police officer busting into my house. My neighbor had been knocking on my door, then looked through my window and saw me on my couch, and was convinced I'd died. FML
Today, I couldn't find my key so I sat against the wall to wait for my roommate to get home. I fell asleep. When I woke up a few hours later, I could hear her inside. She chose not to wake me up and let me in. FML
Today, I came home to a homeless man sleeping in my living room. It turns out he thought my house was abandoned due to its disheveled appearance, and decided to break in. FML
Today, I snuck into my boyfriend's house because I knew his parents wouldn't be there. Later, I woke up in a hospital bed because his sister thought I was a burglar and tased me. FML
Today, I woke up to a burglar holding a gun. He yelled at me to get up so I did. He then paused and laughed. I was sleeping naked. FML

Well atleast he didn't hurt you. Hope the robber gets caught OP

That really sucks. I wouldn't really say you deserve it, considering the robber could have been violent if they noticed you were awake, but how could you feel comfortable enough to fall back asleep?

I'm sure the robber will get caught if he/she isn't able to see somebody is sleeping on the couch.. I doubt they even checked if anybody was in any of the rooms. OP YDI for not taking action, even more so because you fell back asleep.

This is why I sleep with a baseball bat behind my bed

Too bad bats behind beds don't help when you're on your couch.

That's okay, OP, I go to sleep when I don't feel like dealing with things too.

I sleep with my replica elder wand on my nightstand. It makes me feel better..

I try to keep a fixed blade knife in every room of the house, and under my pillow.

OP needs to become a ninja. Then he can attack in his sleep.

Talk about being a heavy sleeper.

The bright side is OP wasn't robbed of a couch.

OP must have been super tired, how do you fall back asleep after being startled like that?!
YawMoney 14
OP was probably very tired
Sports_guy3 28
#63 And #74, it says "extremely tired" in the FML

He was already being robbed of material possessions, the last thing OP wants is to be robbed of his nap as well.
woainishamu 21
Or robbed of his life

Some people sleep through earthquakes, you slept through a robbery.

I slept through a rocket launch into space. The whole trailer shook and I slapped my dad in the face when he woke up.

Oh a guy is stealing all my stuff? Possibly with guns or a very big knife? Possibly getting stabbed/shot? **** that I'm going back to sleep

see you need to sleep with a gun so you dont have time to fall back asleep and ydi for fallimg asleep i mean it was a potentially life threatening situation no excuse not matter how tired
Godsofdracos 15
Your spelling and grammar is a potential life-threatening situation...
MzZombicidal 36
A gun would have just escalated things to a whole new level. OP didn't get hurt and only lost material objects that, no matter the price, can be replaced. Unlike a life.
DARKDAY07 16
well the sleep with a gun was a joke because lets face it thats just stupid to do and yes my spelling and grammar do suck because i have big thumbs and click the wrong key sometimes so sue me
tymarie2012 31
Sue you? Ok ;)

I sleep with a replica of the Elder Wand in Harry Potter on my nightstand. I find it a comfortable substitute to a gun. I also have my sonic screwdriver on my bookshelf. I'm sufficiently armed.

A gun is not a bad idea to sleep with if it's safely contained, ie in the night stand etc
dabears1011234 27
At least your ok

You're* Sorry. I had too

54: It's weird that you're correcting 7 on their grammar, when you have also made a mistake. =)
