A courthouse in Northbridge ended up in full confusion yesterday when a man — just a regular, half-asleep guy minding his business — was mistakenly summoned for a case that had absolutely nothing to do with him.
Staff later confirmed it was a paperwork error.
The man confirmed he regretted waking up before 9 AM.
“Wait… is this why I woke up early for?”
According to witnesses, the man walked in looking confused, holding a lukewarm coffee, hoodie half-zipped, hair doing whatever it wanted.
He sat down quietly — until the judge began reading charges clearly meant for somebody else.
The man slowly raised his hand like he was in primary school and said:
“Um… sorry, but I think you’ve got the wrong person. I literally just woke up.”
Then, after an awkward pause:
“Is this seriously why I woke up early?”
A clerk reportedly dropped their pen. A juror snorted. One bailiff whispered, “bro got side-quested irl.”
Court Realizes the Mistake — Man Realizes He Could’ve Stayed in Bed
After three minutes of scrolling through documents and frantic whispering, court staff confirmed the man wasn’t the suspect, wasn’t a witness, wasn’t even scheduled for jury duty.
He was, in fact, nobody they needed.
He sighed, shook his head, and said:
“Man… I could’ve been asleep right now.”
The judge apologized. The man nodded like someone who knew his day was already ruined.
The Internet Loses It
The clip is now everywhere online, with comments like:
- “he woke up for NOTHING 😭”
- “bro didn’t even pick the quest and still got dragged into the boss fight”
- “he looks like he wants to go back to bed for 12 hours”
- “the way he asked ‘is this why I woke up early’ felt too real”
One creator added dramatic music and zoomed in every time the man blinked in disbelief.
Aftermath
Court officials confirmed they mixed up an ID number.
The man reportedly walked straight out of the building, didn’t look back, and said:
“I’m going home. Don’t call me again.”
Honestly? Fair.
