Could be worse. I once had a copper standing at the bottom of my staircase telling me the building at work was on fire. It was 3.30am, and I stood at the top of the stairs in me underpants and was not very happy that the missus had left the back door unlocked by accident! They had initially woken up the neighbours before waking me up.
My response was along the lines of what do you want me to do about it? Pee on it? I could have too. Getting up in the middle of the night is a regular occurrence at my advancing age.
