Based on recent experience, I'm going to nominate standing on a large slug in your bare feet. It's the slight unyielding [i]bounce[/i] 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

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.

...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...

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.

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.

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

I'll see your frog and raise you a massive rat. Back when all this were just fields, and I had a paper round, I delivered to a mate's house. He had the biggest cat I've ever seen. I swear it was half panther. It used to leave dead stuff on his drive, and one day I stepped on a massive dead rat. I could feel its bones crunch individually, can still feel/imagine it to this day.

Or, I once stepped on an upturned drawing pin, in bare feet. The point stuck in my heel. No pain at all, but I could feel the metal scraping on my heel bone as it went in.

And then I had to pull it out, which was the same but worse...

One thing that springs to mind is the time I had to have an emergency chest drain...

There was no pain as such as I was whacked up to the eyeballs on morphine, but it was a really strange sensation of discomfort as the wriggled the tube through my intercostal muscles.

That stomach lurch when you realise that you've:

a) ****ed something up very badly indeed.

and

b) Done so in manner which ensures that everyone will know about it.

When walking into your (5 yr old) child's bedroom to see if she is getting ready for school, only to be shouted at, hit and told to go away.

That made me very sad this morning 🙁

(TBF she's just had an operation so we are cutting her some slack this week, but...)

Biting into a raw chicken drumstick was rough. It was 'breaded' from memory so thought it was ready cooked. Teeth slicing through raw flesh was vile.

Other than that pulling a whitey or what RaveyDavey said, that sort of thing when you just want to die from sickness / brain unpleasantness

That moment when you realise you've lost something precious or expensive.

At 16 yrs old I went to London for the first time with a friend to see the Freddie Mercury Tribute concert and I lost the camera we had been taking pics with throughout our whole trip to london and at the gig, would love to have those pics now. It happened to me another time pushing my bike up Keppel Cove (Helvellyn) and I put my hand back to my vest pocket for my phone to find it missing. Absolutely gutted for about 20 mins when another lad came up behind me pushing his bike and says 'hey mate have you lost your phone?'

howsyourdad1, mmm, whiteys, I'd forgotten the shear misery they've put me though.
The worst is where I took one just at the top of a hill that has a lovely gravelly decent. Normally I flew down that, that day I freewheeled the whole way, my mates thought Id crashed I was so slow coming down. Then had to sit at the side of the road for half an hour desperate to hurl, before I finally did and felt instantly better.
Bloody horrible.

I've only had a whitey once and it's not an experience I want to repeat. Also the comedown after Reading festival this year was pretty horrific, on it for 4 nights in a row with work on the Tuesday was probably not the best idea in hindsight. I could barely keep my eyes open haha

Pushing your finger through the bog paper you are currently wiping your arse with....

Chomping on a cardamon pod - puts me off the rest of the meal

That feeling when your foot slips on the dry pavement and you realise you just trod in a dog turd. And your wearing those trainers with a really complicated tread pattern.

Properly biting your tongue, when you feel the flesh of your tongue actually being chewed by your own teeth.

The feeling when you massively mess up and your head goes a bit woooaaahhhhh and you get that sinking, bum clenching feeling inside as you know you have to explain it to someone.

The vibration of a dentist drill going through your head.

Looking at certain patterns in nature really sets me off - sets my teeth on edge and make me feel queasy, but in a fascinated by how nasty it is kinda way. Recent ones were a video of that toad who's babies are born through the skin on it's back and it ends up with loads of cavities in it's back where they were. And a cross section through a babies skull showing where all the teeth are sitting. Bleurgh - oooooh, that's amazing - but nasty - Bleurgh - ooooh, that's amazing etc......

The waves of nausea and cold embrace of porcelain as you body tries to wretch out its own stomach lining are pretty bad.

But not as bad as the self loathing that comes with the knowledge you did this to yourself and you can't hold your drink like you could when you were twenty.

Stress. That intense dizzying feeling that completely stops you functioning, turns you in to a ****, anti social, argumentative, short fused, and normally results in head in hands, close to tears with feelings of "What am I doing? I need a change" etc.

Either that or treading in dog poo, one of them.

EDIT:

Some people love dog poo though

Yep, once did that after drinking a load of red dubonnet (mum's drinks cupboard raid). Puked in the tiny sink whilst sat on the bog exploding out of the other end. The poor little sink couldn't hold it, and the bog was reminiscent of an abbatoir afterwards. 😳
