Today, I was working the graveyard shift as a security guard. I fell asleep in my car doing paperwork around 2 am. When my supervisor came to check on me, he pounded on my window, wearing a "Scream" mask. I panicked and pepper sprayed him. Too bad my window was closed. FML

way to go airhead here some people are struggleing for jobs and you go and fall asleep on yours. then in your stupidity you essentially pepper spray yourself. stay awake and do what you are paid to do or go home

His knocking on glass didn't give you a clue that your window was up?

Good thing you're not in the military. You know what happens when we fall asleep on guard duty or firewatch? We get shot.

If you can't stay awake during your shift, you shouldn't be doing it. Especially not when you're a guard. YDI. You still have the job? You wouldn't be the first one to get the boot for falling asleep on duty.

Doughnut coma? Or just lazy ass Security Guard?

Oh my God, that sucks! As far as OP's falling asleep on the job, that obviously is a problem, but (s)he -- doesn't specify gender -- isn't a soldier or a police officer. If (s)he were I think (s)he would have chugged a little more coffee or otherwise made sure to stay awake, and probably wouldn't have been in a chill enough situation in the first place that (s)he'd be doing paperwork in the car. (Not to mention that the boss' coming to the window in a Halloween mask says something about the kind of work environment this is.) I'm not disparaging security guards or saying that their work isn't valuable or difficult. My mom worked as one for most of my childhood, so I know it is. But if this was just a one-time incidence of nodding off in the deserted parking lot of a suburban Wal-Mart, I think getting pepper sprayed is more than punishment enough.

OP, please, do not try to become an airline pilot! :-)
