Loud noises!
By 'this' do you mean, loud noises scare you in the dark and you think something delusional for a second before realizing what it really is? Because then, yes.
If you mean 'this' as thinking the rapture is coming every time an appliance malfunctions, then no.

You cannot be f*cking serious.
That is all I have to say.

That is what I have heard termed "a
scathingly brilliant idea." I love it!

Poe is a possibility, but non-poe is a equal possibility. I visit that site often and there have been several entire threads about "mistaken raptures." It's sad and a little scary! Here's one: http://www.rr-bb.com/showthread.php?t=9067 There was a longer one I read, but I didn't feel like finding it. I really can only take so much of that site!

Yes, and it gets better, more rapturesome, if you stick your fingers in the electrical socket.

Well, now I'm certainly thinking about it. Either the radio-show approach itself, or a movie/story/play in which a fairly isolated little town hears what they believe is a news report of the Rapture and try to figure out why none of them have been taken.

You've got some serious problems if every loud noise makes you think the rapture is happening.
The Rapture! Oh, just the phone ringing...
The Rapture! No, just a car passing by...
The Rapture! Damn, just the television...*sigh*

@Talulah:
"Poe" doesn't just mean "troll," it means a troll with the assumption that there likely is someone who would say this in reality... so the fact that someone actually believes this is inherent in Poe's Law already.
Oh, and I do like the idea of the War of the Worlds: Rapture Edition. We should do that!

I'm pretty sure "Stairway to Heaven" is not a sign of the rapture.

Yeah, I heard it happen once, but instead of a burst of adrenaline it was an air raid siren. The same dream also had a local DJ calling the Monday Night Football game on the radio.
Turned out to be the dryer hose above my head (I was sleeping in the basement at the time).

The Rapture will be accompanied by a loud, jubilant chorus. That will be us.
