Back in my Melbourne days, I use to go to the Eagle Bar on a Thursday night, where I would party the night away. Now the next morning would be hell, especially when I had to go to Centrelink that morning. One fateful morning, I experienced something that I will never wish upon anybody, not even Oprah....
The Thursday night was standard, go to the Eagle Bar with my mate, get drunk, and get home around 2-3am. I always had a good time at this bar, made a couple friends due to this location that sells beverages. After returning home, I had a snack and a couple glasses of water , the usual routine, then stumbled up to bed and fell on the mattress to sleep it off.
I awoke to a startling noise, at 7am! It seems our house alarm was set off with no sign of robbers, so for 4 minutes we were kept awake to the shrieking noise of the alarm. The alarm stopped, and the house went back to bed, then a few minutes later, it started again. My housemate tried fixing it again, she did this while I was laying in bed ready to hit the Z's again. Once the noise stopped, I went to close my eyes, only for the alarm to re-return!!
This went on for at least an hour, hour and half! The reason it was going off was any movement down stair would trigger the alarm, so everyone was sent upstairs for a couple hours, then we tackled the problem once we had a decent sleep.
So there was my worst morning experience, it was terrible. I think I cried a bit during the ordeal as all I wanted to do was sleep! It wasn't much to ask, but thankfully my mate eventually worked out how to turn that alarm off, so we never experienced it again, and I pray I will never have to....
