I always seem to jump at the slightest noise I hear in the house especially if I wake up late at night (or early in the morning?) to use the bathroom and hear nails tapping on the ground only to realize it's my dog waking up as soon as I turn on a light or open a door. Embarrassing but true. Oh and god forbid if you walk into my room when I'm alone watching TV, a movie, or really getting into a game at night and I'm half asleep. You might go deaf for a few seconds, especially if I didn't even realize you were coming in.
