As far as rude awakenings go, a recent Reddit post is a total bombshell.

The post has all the elements of a well-told tale: it occurs 30,000 feet in the air, there's an angry dad, and even some drool.


Reddit user u/GermansOnAPlane is notable for two reasons.

First, that's a solid throwaway handle and tastefully relevant to the oncoming post.

Second, he has the just about the "cringiest" story in the universe to tell.

Giphy

Right out of the gate this guy has no shame for the underlying motives at play here, understandably.

The actions produced by that conviction are out and out horrifying, but that's coming later.

"This morning I fell asleep on the plane. It was an early flight. Napping was inevitable."

Giphy

Fair enough.

The guy goes on to even share some conscientious thinking.

"Now, when it comes to sleeping on a plane, I always get insecure about my slack-jawed coma face. Hence, window seat."

A real poster-child of politeness we got here.

"I was able to comfortably doze off without facing the passengers next to me. Whom, by the way, was a dad and his teenage daughter who only seem to speak German."

After slumbering for an undisclosed length of time, u/GermansOnAPlane was struck by a brutal turning point.

"The moment my eyes opened, my face was on the daughter's boob while the dad was frantically shaking me awake."

Dear God.

The poor soul.

It feels important to mention that the idea of doing anything "frantic" with about 3 inches of leeway is a startling image. That seems like prime conditions for an injury.

Giphy

Now awake, our storyteller faced the aftermath.

"The daughter, who also happened to be asleep, woke up the same time I did and immediately started ranting in German."
"I backed as far away from her boobs as possible and profusely apologized to both of them."

Again, the situation offers about the same amount of space and mobility as a cryogenic freezing tomb. "Backed as far away from her boobs as possible" likely impressed nobody.

Giphy

Our man then became a bit too conscientious.

"If that wasn't awkward enough, I also felt compelled to offer the daughter a tissue to wipe away my drool from her chest."

They say when you're in a hole it's best to stop digging.

The mishap ended with some on-cue fatherly temper.

"The dad wasted no time making his daughter switch seats with him. She didn't seem too happy about that, but he didn't give a f**k."
"His primary objective was to provide a barrier between my face and his daughter's breast."

Immediately, Reddit was johnny on the spot with how the guy should have played it.

"Assert dominance and sleep on his boob too"u/Axelaxelaxe
"Fall asleep on the dad to show him your sleep is serious and holds no discrimination" u/MrMiao
"Did you have a phone on you? I'd have been using Google Translate to frantically write an apology." u/HoorayForYage

Some were keen supporters of his conduct, absolving him completely of any guilt.

Giphy

"'I backed as far away from her boobs as possible and profusely apologized to both of them'...Why did you apologize to both boobs when you only offended one of them?" u/markatroid
"At least you didn't mention the war." u/MDev01
"Who hasn't done this? German boobs are the third best for plane rides." u/texasyoda

Others had similar stories of their own.

"I do slack jaw sleeping too. I found wearing a face mask keeps me aesthetically pleasing as well as preventing me from drying out my tongue LOL" u/wolf_fee
"Who hasn't woken up with their face mushed up against an unfamiliar boob. This is a rite of passage in some cultures."
"I'm pretty sure the dad only switched seats so he could share his similar voyage to manhood with you. At that point you're like a son to him." u/SeVaSNaTaS
"Reminds me of when I was 11 and I fell asleep on a flight."
"I wake up 20 minutes before the flight lands, with head getting shaken. I manage to look up and see the dude frantically trying to get my head off his shoulder."
"My dad told me afterwards that he had been trying to do that for 2 hours." u/chaunsey_jones

And, of course, there were the totally irrelevant contributors.

"It's "who" not "whom" when it's the subject of the clause." u/bucket_of_nothing
"Hey, it beats getting Incepted." u/bshaddo

Safe to say, if you ever find yourself accidentally doing a wildly uncomfortable thing in public, drooling where you shouldn't, there's a safe space for ya in at least one corner of the internet.
