We've all fallen asleep somewhere we shouldn't have, like work or school or for me I was riding an express bus in the Charlotte NC area and I fell asleep on the ride inbound. Charlotte spent some money on their express buses they are like luxury liners cushion seats with head rests and foot rests very comfortable.
This comfort allow me to sleep through its final stops and I woke up in the bus garage parking lot.
It was a hoot but hey least it was a good place to catch another bus

I fell asleep at Janet Jackson Velvet Rope concert in 1998. My ex, was extremely mad as heck for my sleeping. Although, I was a fan, that concert bored the crap out of me. I have seen her two times since 1998 and she gave an awesome performance.

Movies, in theaters, are like an instant nap, for me.

The only place that I've come close to sleeping where I shouldn't is behind the wheel late at night. That's probably not a good thing. Thankfully that's only happened 2 or 3 times. Otherwise, I can't sleep in a moving vehicle. No idea why that is - maybe I'm afraid I'll miss something interesting. One time I was miserable with the flu and the missus was driving so I crawled into the backseat hoping to just pass out. I should've known better. She would speed up, slow down and speed up again. We were on an empty interstate fer chrissakes! Her driving would keep a newborn alert.

Don't worry sweetie, I still love ya!

big shots from DC came to our office at regional. giving an enthusiastic speech on their new plan, i did not sleep the prior night so sitting on edge of my seat to stay awake. she perceived this as enthusiasm and begins to really put herself into the speech and get close to me, then my head suddenly slumps over. another downwardly mobile career move.

I have also slept in movie theaters. Probably the most unusual place I ever fell asleep (years ago when I was very sleep-deprived) was in a busy shopping mall around Christmas time.

My parents were BIG into evangalism and often invited the envagalists to stay for a meal or all night with us.

I had just gotten back from camp and was very very tired. We were having the evening meal and kept nodding off. Some annoying person kept elbowing me. I woke up to see Billy Graham laughing at me.

Talk about wanting to then crawl under the table!
