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

At least yours was dead when you stood on it. Mine squirmed...

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.

Another...

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.

The sensation is like when the camera zooms in on Roy Scheider in Jaws as the kid gets eaten on the beach.

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?'

The bit where they inflate your lower intestine during a [s]probing[/s] sigmoidoscopy. Not painful, but feels mighty weird, and I fully expected to explode.

Bikini wax

Freezing your ass off in some middle of nowhere bit of Wales trying to get out of sodden biking kit into something warmer. And the sensation when feeling comes back to your fingers and toes when the car heating is on full . Mega pain!! Lol

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.

Plus one on cardamom seeds.

Can I nominate the burning smell when you have your vasectomy cauterised with a soldering iron?

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

1. Drinking Gastrografin prior to a CT scan.
2. The 5 megaton, 20 litre poo/fart combo that follows.

I thought I'd turned inside out. Horrible.

Oh and having staples [s]ripped out[/s] removed after varicose vein ligation.

27 of the ****ers pulled out with a pair of bastard pliers.

At university we used to (prior to having a whitey) play ' cardomon pod surprise ' This involved having a house Sunday lunch together , usually with roast potatoes. A cardomon pod would be stuffed in one of the potatoes as the surprise. Great days ??

Had an MRI the other day, cant describe the feeling when you get moved into the tube, very claustrophobic, had to close my eyes throughout.

Yes, I know I should man up.

When everything seems to go into slow motion just before a crash, you know you are going to crash, you know its going to hurt, and there is FA you can do about it.

Seasickness. When there is no respite, and nothing you can do about it.

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.

combine that with your body simultaneously emptying the contents of your bowel, the hideous clash of smells filling your nostrils and the bowl you are holding is full...

I quite like that

for me, I'd say near drowning was pretty damn awful.
no pain, just fear, helplessness and panic.
pain would be preferable.

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. 😳

I'm not quite sure whether I prefer nausea or anxiety

1. Anything to do with rats. I can't even think about the previous page's story about stepping on one without a certain part of my anatomy crawling up inside.

2. Finding a substantial hair in your food and having to extract it from the mouthful gently so as not to break it.

3. The final milliseconds before an accident and the realisation that it could have been avoided, but now it is too late.

4. Stepping on a squirrel.

arpee - wow! Trypophobia is exactly what I have but couldn't find words to describe it! I always thought of it as a fear of cross-sections!

I also really hate being itchy, and the sensation of having wet cuffs after you've done the washing up.

Even as a non-sufferer, I can wholeheartedly recommend NOT performing a google image search.

Crushing.

My first world one is when you have a massage and they cover your feet in oil and then having to put your socks on.
In the real world panic attacks ,as many people have said. I know the plane won't crash and I actually enjoy it once I'm on the plane . The lead up though .... Not pleasant. Thank you Mr Diamzepan.

I keep half-waking up having this one where I'm convinced I've got something lodged in the back of my throat and am about to choke to death. It paralyses you with terror. I think they're called night terrors.

No dirty jokes, please. 🙂

Being put in an MRI scanner, if you have claustrophobia.

Panic inducingly Horrendous
