    Based on recent experience, I’m going to nominate standing on a large slug in your bare feet. It’s the slight unyielding bounce that does it.

    Honourable mentions for:

    -Pulling on wet kit.

    and (middleclasstrackworld response)

    -Grinding coriander seeds with a pestle and mortar (imagine a million sets of nails scraping down a million blackboards).

    For me it was waking up with a long legged spider in my mouth (having been dreaming I was eating a spider with long legs).

    Taste.

    Particularly the taste when you find the whole cardamom pod hidden in your curry.

    A good nomination but having done the same (in the dark) to a large frog I’ll up it to that.

    1, Walking downstairs in the dark in the morning to find out your dog has s**t on the floor and you found out this has happened by stepping in it with your bare foot.

    2, Cleaning up the dog s**t from the carpet.

    3, Cleaning hair from blocked drain/plug hole.

    4, Walking through a head height Spider Web and having it run across your face

    If you get yourself a diabetic dog you can recreate this every morning.

    For me it’s a very specific taste, peanuts. I have a mild allergy to them and the sensation when I accidentally eat them is just horrible.

    I did the barefoot slug one last week. horrible sensation, only topped by my next step being onto a snail. squidy, crunchy with sharp edges.

    …the worst example being when you’re walking through B&Q, hear the opening bars of a song you like then realising that it’s not the original, but some neutered, factory-farmed cover, designed to allow them to avoid paying the publisher.

    Grrrr…

    The moment just after you realise you’ve wiped dog sh*t off your glove, onto your face. And you have a good few days growth on your face for it to get really bedded in to. And you’re at the furthest point from home.

    Nerve function tests. Super fine acupuncture style needles that glide deep into your flesh effortlessly and entirely painlessly. Then they attach a set of jump leads to them and start pulsing increasing voltages between them until you involuntarily shout an expletive. Its not painful as such (especially as the nerves being tested weren’t really working) but just a strange, elevating annoyance.

    Once jumped over a style, slipped, fell on my arse, got up, dusted myself off and continued on my way… then had the creeping realisation that what had just happened was:

    Jumped over a style, slipped in dog shit, fell on my arse in the dog shit, got up by putting my hand in the dog shit, and ‘dusted myself off’ by wiping dog shit all over myself.

    : Case in point – Disneyland Paris. Actually, the whole experience is worse than pain.

    I’m going for a memory from younger days – waking up on the floor at a party, reaching out for the can next to your head then only realising once you’ve taken a swig that it’s been used as an ashtray.

    Main thing for me is hearing bad music. Two in particular come to mind – Robbie Williams ‘Candy’ and Natasha Bedingfield ‘These Words’. 2 songs that make me want to stab a hot knitting needle through my head to stop the sound.
    Not because I’m a music snob (Rusty!) – they just revolt me. Like the smell of dog shit up your nose, but in your ears.
