Kitchen.

Seated at the table, moments after finishing an omelette, and in the middle of a conversation with my mum (that I wasn't able to finish, given the circumstances).

A week-day and late, about 9 am, I rushed to call at work to get the day off for me and the colleague I had drinked with the night before - he had gone to sleep early and made me promise I'd excuse him from work too. They were giggling on the phone, but I thought they'd figured the drinking night and that was that.

Next I called my colleague to tell him I'd made the call to the office; he was a bit nervous, but I thought because I woke him up.

The next day I was told I had actually called twice at work (hence the giggling) and twice at my friend's (hence the will-you-let-me-sleep). A used bus ticket in my pocket suggested part of the way home was made by bus.

Seems I had come home, called the office, called my friend, had mum make me an omellete, ate that while speaking to her - than "woke" up in the kitchen, sitting in front of the empty plate, called work etc. Before that, I remember leaving a pub and heading home, broad daylight with people on the street - some 7:30 I guess.

In the next days I managed to squeeze a slight memory of letting go of a loud beer-inspired "power-chord" on some street midway home, so loud that it drew the attention of people on the opposite sidewalk - which made me laugh loudly, I only remember laughing and the reason, but not the event itself.

About an hour of my life totally erased from memory. I never slept the whole while, but I still find this story on-topic somehow :)

In my friend's closest along with 5 people....
 
How did I end up there? Stern Smile
 
Probably because we were tripping on shrooms and acid.

I am so happy I made this thread and have it to read when I am very high, such as right now.

I never woke up in an odd place after parties or trips, besides bus-stops, but when I was about 10 I went to bed and woke up in the bathroom on my knees, my hands folded and my head down like I was praying and my pillow was laying in the washing basin thingy before me.
 
I think I just walked there in my sleep but it was pretty odd to wake up like thatLOL

LOL I woke up in my own bed man, but my head managed to fall back off the end of it, so when I woke up and lifted it up, I felt like I brain was going to explode. Dead

Think about the future. If we reach interestellar travelling, perhaps one day you'lll take the wrong rocket, and instead of waking up in Europe (continent), you'll wake up in Europe (Jupiter's satellite). That'll be weird.

That could be mildly embarrassing -

Passenger:    zzzzzzz ++start++ Where am I?

Conductor:    The Horsehead Nebula

Passenger:    I've only got a ticket to Luton!

Conductor:    You're fed

My bedroom is upstairs, and one time I woke up downstairs. Confused

It's a wonder I'm not dead. Our floor is slate, too.
Another time was under my parent's bed. They were still in it.

With my head in the bottom bathroom cupboard using towels for a pillow ...I wasn't even drunk or anything, I was just sick and throwing up all night.

it never happened to me; however I remember being on a party where someone was so drunk that he didn't realize what was going on; they stripped down his pants and underpants and tied a ribbon with a neat bow around his penis. I didn't witness his moment of waking up, but I surely would have liked to

    A bench in Cambridge. Which wouldn't be an immediate problem except that I had to catch a four hour train home from King's Cross in the early afternoon.

According to Gurdjieff:

By making frequent efforts to activate our attention in small things, such as walking, speaking or sitting etc., people can gradually wish to become more aware of themselves as living beings through the development of their attention instead of spending their lives asleep in dreams.

 
Most of us spend most of our lives sleeping.
 
This is why Kevin Ayers famously asked " Why are we Sleeping"

Another situation worse than the place. Actually, I was quite happy with the place
.
My gf and I fell asleep in her bed and her parents came home. They probably got the wrong idea. My age is... well... underage. That was really awkward.
