Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, my parents woke me up by pouring a glass of freezing cold water over my head. Their reason? They were "bored". FML

Freaky...
Today, it's the third time in a row that I've woken myself up in the middle of the night by pouring freezing cold water on myself. I didn’t even have water on my nightstand last night. I woke up in the kitchen. FML

Today, my mother woke me up by putting a beer on my face. After 15 minutes of her telling me to "just take a sip" and me rejecting it, I finally did just to shut her up. She then yelled at me for giving in to "peer pressure". FML

Today, I was taking a shower, when my dad decided to turn off the water to the house, run upstairs, and throw a bucket of freezing cold sludge into the shower with me. He wouldn't turn the water back on for 2 hours. FML

Today, my mother called me urgently from the kitchen. Thinking she was hurt, I ran to her as fast as possible. She threw a wet cloth at my head and ran away, laughing her face off. FML

Today, while relaxing in the kitchen drinking coffee, my dad suddenly rushed in, knocking me over and causing me to spill boiling hot coffee all over myself. Then, my dad thought it would be a good idea to grab the sprayer from the sink and douse me with cold water in order to "put me out." FML

Isn't it ironic, don't you think?
Today, my mom complained that I was being too loud, and she smacked my head really hard. All while screaming at me. FML

Today, I tried to put my friend's hand in lukewarm water while he was sleeping, to see if he'd pee himself. He woke up and punched me in the face. FML

Stupid mom! Boiling water would work much better.

Hey it's better than waking up with a punch to the face or sac tap just saying it could be worse.

you need to wake your ass up

A friend had a cat he used to spoil madly, cooking it an egg every morning for breakfast. The cat realized that he got his egg when my friend got up, so waking his owner became the cat's purpose in life. My friend learned to sleep through all manner of feline attacks -- but eventually the cat discovered that tipping the bedside-table glass of water onto my friend's head worked wonders. Even if there weren't immediate result, the cold, wet pillow forced him up pretty soon. His solution was to move egg time to afternoon. Maybe OP's mom started with the water because nothing else was working. Either way, here's hoping you can break your mom of this habit, OP. If nothing else, maybe start setting your own alarm for before your mom is likely to come in?

I had a teenaged son that I did that to. What he and probably the op will leave out are the ten times of asking him to get up with varying degrees of niceness. From "Good morning, time to get up" to "If I come up these status one more time, I'm bringing the water." Most moms do not go around pouring water on their children for no good reason.

Absolutely correct!!

My thoughts exactly. Maybe op just stays up all night playing video games and never wakes up until at least noon.which can get annoying; when everyone else in the family is already up hours ago being productive and helping out around the house.

Not necessarily. During the winter, several times, my stepdad wakes me up early by throwing snowballs at my face. Not because I've slept in or because he needs me to help with something, no, just for the fun of it. Some parents have an odd sense of humour.

There must be a reason! I've only done that to 1 of my kids, years ago! My son wouldn't wake up for anything!! After asking nicely, begging, threatening, what else can a parent do?

YDI! If you'd get up on time I'm sure this wouldn't happen again.
