    I went for a few pints one sunday lunchtime, with the papers,as you do,met a few old mates, drank a rake of pints and went home for a nap at about 4.30.pm
    Woke up in a panic at 7, thinking it was 7am on monday morning ! Drove to work thinking "the traffic is very light" and why is morning ireland not on RTE1 ?...DOH !!
    Got a pizza, a few cans, had a bath and an early night !!:D

    My granny did this. She went to bed at 7pm, got up at 10pm (thinking it was 10am), got dressed, got breakfast and proceeded to watch TV. She rang my house at 5am (which she thought was 5pm) and complained that her TV musn't be working as Coronation Street isn't on!

    Alzheimer's ftw! :p

    Night out, got home at 3am. Woke at 6. Dark outside. Was unsure if I slept for 3 hours or 15.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,822 ✭✭✭sunflower27


    I fell asleep on a bus once and woke up and couldnt remember for a split second if I was going in to work or going home. I glanced out the window and saw the Liffey was to my right and my heart sank.... I was going in :D

    That was a very long day!!!!

    Was at the Love Parade in Berlin a good few years back and was...well...er..stoned out of it basically. I was dancing in the crowd and remembered looking at my watch and it saying 5.30pm(ish)..next time i looked it was 7 and for the life of me i couldnt figure out whether it was 7pm or i had danced right through to 7am the next morning. I swear to God..i was standing looking at my watch with this bemused look tryin to make sense of the whole thing but finding it hilarious at the same time.

    Oh the memories (or lack of)..that was a great festival :D

    Went out over a weekend which included Sunday afternoon. Went home at about 4 and slept. Woke at seven. Thought it was morning. Got up in a haze and got ready for work. Turned on the tv at 8 to realise it was still evening time. Thank fcuk as I was wrecked from all the drinking!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,391 ✭✭✭GiftofGab


    Went to the student bar in UCD at 11am before. Drank for the whole day. Went outside for a smoke later that evening and the bouncer wouldn't let me in because I was too drunk. So I went to one of the girls houses. We were all sitting around drinking and I asked someone the time. They told me 10 o'clock only for me to turn around and say "Geez its awfully dark outside for 10 o'clock in the mouring". It was still 10pm. I totally lost track of time drinking for the day. I actually still made it out that night.

    Don't remember it happening to myself, but I remember a friend of mine had a house mate who was a real stoner, always out of it. We were back at his gaff one day at lunch time and yer man walks into the kitchen and made some comment about having a assignment to hand in Thursday morning, we looked at him and said that it 1 o'clock Thursday afternoon. He stood there, looked around the room in a daze and said "what happened to Wednesday?"

    I remember when I was in third year & my sister was in first year. We woke up, put on the uniforms, had our brekkie & began the trek to school. It was still kinda dark but then again it was winter so the lack of light wasnt any indicator as to what time it was. The roads were kinda empty & as we reached the school there wasnt a sinner about....we were thinking hmmmm do we have a day off???Went up to my classroom as the prefabs she was in werent yet open. Still completely at a loss as to what was going on. We sat there id say for about an hour......heard footsteps & in walks the principal....''girls what are you doing in this early'' us ''ehhhhhhh what time is it''. It was 5am when we had got to the school. Still to this day I dont know how we didnt see any clocks that morning or even how we woke up that early, all I know is that the principal made us tea & opened the vending machine & let us take what we wanted. Thats principal loved us.....then again it was a Catholic school.

    Got home from secondary school a few years back around 4:30PM. was knackered and fell asleep. Woke up at 7pm but thought it was 7am (which was the time my dad would wake me up for school). I got up, had a shower, got dressed, had my crunchy nut (the best breakfast) and went out to the van ready to go. my dad was outside and just said 'what are you doing?', and i said 'will ya come on, were going to be late'.

    twas a great feeling when he realised how confused i was and explained what was going on.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 431 ✭✭aido179


    ehh, closest thing i can think of was being really sick this christmas, and i my parents woke me up for some tea on christmas eve. i thought i missed the WHOLE of christmas day...worst feeling ever...though the feeling afterwards when you find out you have gained a day is priceless.

    i nearly came close to something like that today though...had an exam at 2pm. so i slept in, went to the exam like it was the morning. afterwards, somebody was waiting for a lift. they said just till their mum was finished work at 5.30, so i said "jesus thats hours away...what will ya do till then"
    they told me it was 5.20...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,494 ✭✭✭citizen_p

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,454 ✭✭✭mink_man

    I've done it a few times when I was half asleep. I remember waking up a few years ago and seeing 5:00 on my clock. I thought to myself "Why is everyone in bed at 5pm? I have missed school, my mam has missed work. I'd better wake them up and ask wtf..."

    Got up, was on my way to wake everyone up, when it finally dawned on me that it was actually 5am.

    I assure you.. it wasn't a lie.

    Considering it happened over 2 years ago, I can't remember exactly what program my granny was looking for (I said Coronation Street as it is a typical OAP program). It could've been Judge Judy (she loves that for some reason).

    Anyway, she has Alzheimers - she'd probably mix up the kettle and Coronation Street :p
