Every morning there is a battle between my bed and the daily routine that awaits me.  It’s a routine I have grown to despise over the years because my bed rarely wins.  I already mentioned my addiction to the snooze button in a previous post, which is a habit that stems from my complete lack of motivation.  But even if the snooze had never been invented, I would still hate waking up after a good night’s rest.  There are few things that irritate me more than being confronted with my phone’s morning wake up call, even though it’s one of my favorite songs (Bob Marley’s “Don’t Rock My Boat”).  Whether it’s the monotone alarm clock beep or the sound of birds chirping outside my window, I despise being stirred from a slumber. 

This annoyance, however, is nothing when compared to the pranks some poor souls have to endure on a given morning (or afternoon/night).  For some sadistic reason, there are people out there who get enjoyment from participating in “rude awakenings”.  This type of behavior should usually runs its course in middle school, but some individuals carry this juvenile ritual into adulthood…and beyond.  Luckily, I don’t have friends who would find humor in waking me up with hand full of baby powder, or a bucket of cold water; and if I did, the friendship would surely end after I beat them senseless.  Here are some of the dirtiest wake up calls, and the thoughtless douchebags behind them:

Most people fell asleep in school at one time or another; I am just glad my teacher never thought of this:

A hammock is one of the best places for a siesta, unless you’re this guy:

Of course, our Japanese friends have decided to take the wake up prank to new levels:
