This happened about a year ago. I had an appointment at the doctor's office to get an allergy shot. Afterwards, I have to wait for 30 minutes in the waiting room to ensure that my arm doesn't fall off or I have a heart atttack or whatever. The room was empty, so I picked out a chair in the corner of the room up against the wall. It had been a particularly hard week and I was exhausted. I rested my head against the wall and and was soon fast asleep.
After what seemed to be about two seconds (in reality it was more like twenty minutes) I startled awake to find the waiting room full of people. They were all staring strangely at me. Even the people who were seated in chairs facing away from me were turned around looking at me. Embarrassed, I grabbed the closest magazine and tried to act cool and nonchalant.
I found out later from a college friend who just so happened to be in the room that when I awoke, I sat up suddenly in my chair and let out a load, blood-curdling shout.
Moral of the story: Don't sleep in public.
