Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
Today, I got pulled over during my driving test. FML
Today, I was told I have narcolepsy, and I've it for a year and a half. When asked why I didn't go to a doctor before, I answered that I'd always assumed it was a normal adult thing to fall asleep randomly because of how everyone says they're always exhausted. Apparently not. FML
Today, after a long work shift, I was so tired that I took a nap in my car to avoid driving half-asleep. When I awoke, there was a huge truck in front of me. I thought I'd fallen asleep while driving and was about to die. I only realized it was stationary after I pissed myself. FML
Today, I got in a car accident on the way to the DMV to take my drivers test. FML
Today, after my boyfriend broke up with me and I'd chained-smoked all night, I had a driving test. With only 3 hours of sleep, I literally drove through a red light during the test. FML
Today, I studied all night for a big test. I ended up falling asleep on the bus ride there. I woke up in a different province. FML
Today, I found out that I can't pass a field sobriety test while sober. FML
Today, I passed out in my car in a McDonald's parking lot. I got woken up by a cop. FML
Today, my family and I were on a road trip. Everything was fine until we discovered that my dad, the driver, was not only fast asleep, he was also snoring. We were in the middle of the highway. FML
You've got this!
Today, I took my driver's test, whereby I forgot everything, panicked, and closed my eyes while yelling, "Jesus take the wheel!" FML

I have narcoleptic syndrome, which is basically all the symptoms but without the genetics to have genetic/true narcolepsy. This causes daytime sleepiness. And my sleep apena is 75% obstructive, but 25% central where my brain actually forgot to told the body to breathe. All this means I better use a CPAP before I drive! You better find a sleep doctor and ask about a CPAP. Let me guess, are you overweight with a thick neck? And snore?

Sorry, OP. Glad you survived the experience.

If you wait a few years, you can buy a self-driving Tesla, fall asleep in the back, and be completely oblivious to it running over an old lady, or bursting into flames.
