Worst way to be woken up

I hate being woken up when I'm asleep. It is bad enough being woken up from the alarm clock or a 2am phone call, the phone ringer was changed the night before to moan the word brains zombie like which I forgot about that early in the morning. It is even worse to be woken up by something unexpected like something big moving around and sniffing the tent I am sleeping in, or waking up to the smell of burning wood because my at the time roommate decided to throw a wooden cutting board with a pizza on it into the oven. The worst way I have been woken up was from a cane spider landing on my face.

So, what is the worst way any of you have been woken up?

    The worst is when I'm woken up for no other reason than someone thought I shouldn't be asleep. That just angers me and ruins my lovely sleep.

    I did wake up the other night because the cat peed on me. That was pretty bad.

    I would die of a heart attack if a spider woke me on my face or on my body anywhere. I would not be alive to write this post.

    Burglar alarm went off when I was like 6. Holy hell it was the loudest alarm. Woke up screaming cause thought I was gonna die or something. Turns out the dog was sleeping against the door just enough to crack it open a bit.

    But warm, yes? :/

    I thought she was being cute, putting her warm paw on my side...then reality hit. It got cold quick.

    Sound asleep and my 5 year old crawls into bed with me... and then has a nightmare and kicks me in the junk. Unfortunately, with 6 kids, it has happened far too many times...

    Ugh. That too. Or the occasional puking on you...

    I always figured those Indian villagers had the worst way of waking when the tiger chomped on their head.

    I was crossing the ocean on a ferry in the winter and woke up to the ferry's emergency alarms going off. I thought I was going to die, and visions of Titanic kept going through my head. Worst way to wake up ever.

    6 months ago, helicopter EMT's had to land in my circle where I live to transport a neighbor to the hospital.. Not only did it sound like the world was coming to an end, but it looked like a tornado hit our little part of the neighborhood.

    Getting included in a group text about nothing which interests me. This happens way too often.

    OP I take it you don't have kids? Once you do uninterrupted sleep becomes a distant memory...

    Neighbor next door lit off more than a few M80s. Unexpected noise caused severe heart crushing panic.
    That wakeup was beyond bad.

    I was sound asleep about 15 years ago. Innocently just minding my own, dreaming of fluffy kittens and puppies and maybe I was snoring or drooling a bit on my pillow. I'm not sure.

    All of a sudden I jumped up, my heart pounding in my chest.. I was soaking wet, the bed was wet and there where bloody ice cubes all over the place. And in the doorway I see 3 people, roaring with laughter.. my best bloody friends at the time... And they *kitten* woke me up, on my 15 year old birthday, on a holiday in Mallorca by dumping a bucket full of water and ice on me! Who needs enemies anyway?

    That's probably the worst way I've even been woken up...

    Being set of fire seems like a bad way to wake up.

    To blood curdling screams. Half way out of bed when I remember my brother and his wife were staying the night and she has night terrors.

    Kid knocking on the bedroom door because they peed the bed in the middle of the night.

    The sound of the fire alarm beeping every 30 seconds and saying "low battery" in the middle of the night, when you're out of batteries, and you didn't yet know that hardwired fire alarms could be removed.
