    Default Just Plain Weird

    You guys have anything strange happen like this?

    I woke up this morning because my cell phone was beeping. So I get up and go through the morning routine, shower, shave, make the coffee, and out the door I go. Look at the car clock as I pull onto the road and realize it is 2:00 in the morning ( I usually leave at 5)! Talk about a Pavlovian response, here the beep from my phone wasn't the alarm clock, it was an alert for a text message.....Not a good start to the day...lol, but it sure beats waking up dead!

    Anyone else have some funny stories?

    I have had kinda the opposite experience.
    Got home in the late afternoon a couple years ago tired and decided to take a nap before going out with some friends. Got up at 8:00 shaved, got dressed and ready to go out then realized it was 8:00 AM the next day.
    Guess I was a lot more tired than I thought.

    I had worked a ton of overtime for weeks on end. Then it came to a point where we had caught up and I got off at 2pm. I was exhausted and went home and fell asleep on the couch. I woke up at 7 and rushed to get to work for 7:30. When I arrived people were drinking beer and lounging because it was pm not am. I did not have to be at work for another 12 hours.

    I woke up one morning late for the school bus; didn't even have time to brush my teeth or eat.
    Threw my clothes on, grabbed my gun & ran outside to catch the bus.
    Then the daylight woke me up, as I stared at the neighbors house, I was 35 years old.
    Walked back into the house, crawled back in the bed pi$$ed off.

    I had a problem with the daylight savings once. When the clocks went forward I forgot change mine. I was supposed to be teaching a Sunday school class, but when I arrived they were all leaving; someone else took the class in my place. That was twenty five years ago and if I see any of the kids (now adults obviously) that's still the first thing they remind me of...

    I think he was dreaming of being young again (yes, we all know you WERE young once John ) Then he woke up and found he was old...
