Personal Hells

First of all, each of my personal hells would have hot, humid weather. The sort that makes it impossible to get comfortable. With that established, here are a few of them:

Eternity queuing for a rollercoaster next to a bunch of hyperactive kids and the inevitable swarm of wasps ... and it's not even a good rollercoaster.

Eternity working at a call centre while desperate for a cigarette but also aware that everything you do is being timed to the nanosecond.

Eternity trying to walk the dog on a narrow country path behind a group of pensioners. You know they can't help walking slowly but why couldn't they have picked a route where people can get past them?

Eternity waiting for a parcel delivery. The second you take your eye off the window to do something else, they arrive and put a card through your door. You'll have to wait until the next working day and then the cycle repeats.

This is virtually a daily hell.

My own personal Hell, and which has been used for torture of course, has been sleep deprivation, and which occurred when I was in hospital with broken ankles. One particular person, having perhaps dementia of some kind, would insistently call out during the night such that I could hardly get a decent night's sleep for the three weeks I was there. His bed was opposite mine in the ward. I know I can't blame the poor chap but it was essentially Hell. :glomp:

I realise this is in the jokes section having been there i can not think of a light-hearted quip. Every time i try horror and fear come to mind.

Then I guess it is a good thing heaven will be nothing like the hell of life on earth. :)

I prefer coffee without the psychoactive drug. The awful headache I got when I refrained from it was confirmation of my decision to give it up.

Do you drink tea? It contains more caffeine per gram than coffee.
