Maternity staff find big, drunk, smoking baby
German sets new standards for stupid places to wake up after being drunk: a baby incubator in a maternity ward.

I still can not believe this... I mean: WTH?

To add some discussion worthy stuff: Where have you woken up after drinking too much?

in a laundrette with my legs in one of the dryers

That must have been one messed up pregnancy :p

And the weirdest place I’ve ever woken up is in my bed mainly because of how far away from my house my last memory was and because I’d lost my key the day before

To add some discussion worthy stuff: Where have you woken up after drinking too much?

always home, or at least in a house, once on the floor under a table, not really impressive. but that's partly because i have good friends/parents.

you shove unwanted babies down chutes?! :eek:

Damn, now thats drunk. I wonder what he thought when he finally woke up.:p

Edit: I agree whith Smunkee: WTF? And to think everyone considers AMERICA barbaric.

I still can not believe this... I mean: WTH?That is brilliant!

To add some discussion worthy stuff: Where have you woken up after drinking too much?In strange, strange places. I've awoken to find myself in a foreign country a couple of times, and once on a deserted beach in wet clothes, with no idea how I got there. But the most memorable place I've awoken was in a dumpster. I initially thought I was trapped in a coffin. Hitchcock & Poe were never the same after that.

I have no idea how these boxes look like but I guess the concept of them is less barbaric than not offering these people help...

I suppose there are worse places...

And I guess the weirdest place I woke up was under the bed in my friend's dormroom...

You do not happen to live in Andorra, Liechtenstein, Luxemburg or a similar nation?:)

I always manage to get back to the homestead after drinking.

I think we can all sympathise with that desire to go back to the womb, so I guess the maternity ward might be the next best thing.

I once woke up worshipping the porcelain goddess.

I'd been kneeling there having the great drunken dilemma ("Am I about to throw up, or can I go back to bed?") when I fell asleep :D

What a way to get your 15 seconds of fame. :p

oh, in the article it talks about sliding down chutes and post boxes and I imagined a garbage chute type contraption, thanks ;)

those are pretty cool. We have safe haven laws here but you are supposed to physically hand the kid off to a nurse or doctor.

You do not happen to live in Andorra, Liechtenstein, Luxemburg or a similar nation?:)Nope, but I've woken up with a hangover in all three countries :p

... I used to drink & travel a lot.

Those bloody, drunk Germans! Oh... wait.

Anyway, I bet it was nice and warm and cozy if maybe a little tight in the incubator. Crazy guy. Just glad no baby had been placed in there before he climbed in.

Except for "at home with all my clothes folded up nicely and placed on the chair, bike locked up, etc." and I have no idea that I would do all that on autopilot or the "foreign bed, foreign apartment, foreign people - where am I? And where the hell are my pants?" just the usual...
This one was special, though:

In the middle of a patio sitting in a very comfy chair that I remember occupying for some "5 minutes of rest only".
Next thing, the sun was shining in my face, that's why I woke up. What was weird was that the whole place had been abandoned after college party the night before, yet cleaned up, the birds were singing, and I had lost my watch the night before - so I had no idea what time it was... If you didn't know that there was a party the night before, some people might just have considered me crazy for sleeping outside in a chair...
Luckily, I got my watch back that night and when I got home earlier, it was only 10:30 so I didn't really waste a whole day sleeping in the sun.
Just funny that nobody tried to wake me! (Or maybe they did?)
I sometimes wonder how many people have walked past me that morning...

Anyway, that was during a time when I drank as much booze as I could literally stomach, trying to deal with my PTSD.
With the medication I'm taking now, more than a liter of beer will give me a headache (albeit not hangover-headache), which is a shame, 'cause that's the minimum it takes for me to feel slightly buzzed...

I woke up naked on my dorm room floor my sophomore year of college and was informed at lunch by the guy next door that he walked me back to my room after finding me asleep and snoring while sitting on the toilet naked. :eek:

Come to think of it... I did pass out twice while sitting punchdrunk on the loo. Once at a "conchie"-party - everybody had left when I regained my senses, and the other time on Father's Day after a whole bottle of Jägermeister... Mmh. Gah. Nevermind.

To add some discussion worthy stuff: Where have you woken up after drinking too much?

- On a sofa in front of a window overlooking the German embassy in Warsaw.
- On a living room floor in a house full of total strangers. (Apparently I'd met them in the pub the night before.)
- On a motorway bridge. (I'd got lost on the way home from a club.)

I believe I might have been out in my yard smoking a cigarette and woke up on a picnic table. I barely remember, so I don't know..

Meh. I never passout anywhere weird.. :(


EDIT: Aha! I woke up in a tub that was overflowing, I was naked and covered in bubbles.

That's the night I drank a bottle of gin and rum and wine and beer. God I love alcohol.

The most interesting place I ever woke up was in a hospital bed. I wake up and I see a tube in my arm. Major wtf.

I woke up naked and ducttaped to another naked guy. :p

I kill so many fun topics this way. :p

That's hilarious! I love the caption under the pic too :D

That article makes it sound bad, but the concept actually makes a lot of sense. People who fear the hassle of formally adopting their babies away for whatever reason can now anonymously ensure that they will be looked after by professionals.

If these wards weren't there, they might be left in bins or boxes on the side of the road. Ask yourself which is preferable.

EDIT - oh, I see I was beaten to it by a link. Nevermind.

In a paddock somewhere in rural Kent, after trying to walk home from the pub.

Under a big, bushy tree, because it had been raining heavily as I was trying to walk home from a party.

Naked on a beach. Apparently someone had the bright idea of going skinny dipping. I made it there, but didn't make it back. :p

Never been drunk. Not sure what this says about how stupid I may or may not be, though.

Ah, the Metro. Always bringing us the important news. Such as this... (http://www.metro.co.uk/weird/article.html?in_article_id=41311&in_page_id=2)

Anyway. Weirdest place I woke up was standing in front of my mirror with excruciating cramp in both legs. How I managed to stay in an upright position for several hours while drunkenly asleep is a total mystery.

Another brilliant caption from the Metro :D

Been there, done that. I also had the president of my fraternity there, yelling at the doctors and nurses, "You are NOT going to pump his stomach! It's not necessary! I know, cuz I'm pre-med."

He was a philosophy major.
