Torture!

[Long-Haired Narcissist]

Last night I had to take two drunk friends home. The entire forty minute trip my best friend had on some of the most emo shit I've ever heard. Not only that but they suck at singing and that was exactly what they were doing while the songs were playing. I could swear my ears started bleeding after a few minutes of listening to that.

Now what tortures y'all?

[Mesden]

Typical residents of Alabama. Typical residents of Alabama that decide to shop at Walmart. Typical residents of Alabama that decide to shop at my Walmart.

Typical goddamn residents of Alabama that decide to shop at MY Walmart, during my few hours of day in this crappy part time job, that come JUST to antagonize and annoy me, slowdown what stocking I may be doing and then BITCH TO THE MANAGER that I didn't do every little thing they COMMANDED me to do.

In short: Assholes.

[Massacre]

My afflictions are a direct converse of the norm. Torture is dished out to me by way of cute and annoying things that get under my skin because they're a pain in the ass. What do I mean? Well, Pokemon, for starters...

In short: Assholes.

Change all of that to typical customer at my McDonald's, and you have a winner.

In short? Attending customers is fucking hell.

[Anasatsu]

Stupid people and emo music.

More to the point, stupid people and emo music that find something in this god-awful music that they relate to, then feel the need to tell me all about this little self realization.

Wile i'm on the subject, I don't know about you, but im tired of hearing some dude bitch about life when his net worth is about a few million.

[ZERO.]

What the dude above said.

That and 10 year old people on xbox live that think they are the super ganster.

I know exactly how you feel, I was a cartpusher at Walmart for three months. After two months of working there, I simply lost the remaining faith in humanity that I had.

Dominatrix's.


Edit: And joking aside, chavs. (For you lucky american bastards who don't know what a chav is, click here (http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Chav)

[Daimo Mac, The Blue Light of Hope]

Stupid comments by smart people. It is enough to hurt my brain.

[Fifthfiend]

Our federal government's policy of violence and degradation as a means of interrogation.

Also - traffic congestion. Can't fuckin' stand it.

[Mesden]

Really? I just take whichever chance I get to bitch about Walmart and Alabama.

Because, well, Walmart and Alabama. I'm glad everyone agrees with me.

[Kikuichimonji]

Our federal government's policy of violence and degradation as a means of interrogation.

Also - traffic congestion. Can't fuckin' stand it.Especially when it's caused by an accident on the other side of the median. It's an accident, people, not a goddamn television program!

I also hate idiots, because they are usually assholes and don't deserve pity or understanding, from my experience. Usually.

See, I work in a store, but I don't work for the store. I can pass off shitty customers onto an associate and just laugh while they aren't looking. I love being me.

Actually, I do still have to deal with the dumbasses occassionally. Christ, one time this woman wanted dog food with NO carbs. She was absolutely adamant about the fact that the food had to have absolutely no carbohydrates whatsoever in it, no matter how much I explained to her that her dog needs them. Finally, I told her that a vet clinic might have some, so that she could go to the vet and THEY could tell her off.

It's very rare that I actually have to explain to someone what carbs are for.

Edit: Of course, working in a call centre for a shitty phone company pretty much tops all crappy customer service jobs. The people who call have got nothing but time (despite the fact that they constantly say they're in a rush), and complaints. There's usually absolutely nothing you can do for them, no way you can get away from them, and you might as well always have a manager standing over your shoulder making sure you follow the exact letter of the rules so that customers can't be helped, yet getting upset when you don't help them. I would have my life threatened five or six times a day. Literally.

I've worked a lot of shitty jobs, but I will let myself starve to death before I work in a call centre again. I think it's the management there that really got to me though. And the fact that we were horrifically understaffed. It's hard to blame the customers, because most of them are just being jerked around by the companies.

It's funny, because there's very little you can do to actually help customers, but if your average handle time for calls is over 360 or so seconds, you'll have managers all over you wondering why you can't get people off the phones faster.

Also: "The French are cowards" jokes. Come on people, they surrendered when there was no way to win. That was sixty years ago. GET SOME NEW FUCKING MATERIAL ALREADY!

Yes "France surrenders" was funny the first time I heard a joke about it. But Christ, people just won't stop beating the god damned horse.

[Mirai Gen]

I'm a liquor store clerk. We sell blunt wraps, rolling papers, and lighters.

I fucking hate hate hate it when stoners give me that stupid look of camaraderie just because I've got long hair, grin, and say, "These good papers, man?"

I fucking hate that shit.

[Mirai Gen]

I work at a liquor store. We sell blunt wraps, lighters, and rolling papers.

I fucking hate it when those stoners come in, look at me with that lopsided grin, and go, "These good blunt wraps, man?" with that "Stoner Camaradiere" look in their eyes.

They only do it because I've got long fucking hair.

Torture... I know this thread is going in a different direction, but this was the first thing I thought of when I read the original post. Torture to me is a tv set that is on, but with no sound coming out. Without the sound, a traditional CRT set makes this incredibly irritating high pitched squeal. This noise travels surprisingly well through walls too. I can hear the squeal downstairs in my room on the other side of the house whenever the tv is on, even when the broadcast sounds don't reach me. Most people I know can't even hear it. It drives me crazy.

[Selfish]

Torture -

Physical torture:
-Someone continuing to "tickle" you by digging in their fingers. If you tickle, do it lightly and with fingertips only, no nails. Also, if they ask you to stop - STOP.
-Someone dragging a freaking comb or brush through your snarled, knotty hair. C`mon. Who CARES if there is a hole after you cut out the gum? Also, if you don`t like hearing the girlie squeal because you just ripped off a piece of her scalp, then CUT it. Let her have shorter, more manageable hair.

Emotional torture:
-Threatening to abandon your tender years child so that they start running to you in fear. This is not the best way to speed your travels. If you need a wagon for your tyke, please acquire one.
-Threatening a signifigant other with abandonment if they don`t perform stupid little favours for you, like getting you a drink of water when you are six feet away from the sink or fridge.
-Someone threatening to end the life of your pet, or induce misery to it, just because.

Mental torture:
-Knowing that if you only were wiser, you could have avoided a mistake.
-(a more pleasant one) Anticipation of anything good, like a present, a day, a season. Even anticipation of intelligent conversation with a member of your own species can be torture, especially if you`ve been starved of it for awhile. :D

Spiritual torture:
-Wanting someone soooooo badly, but knowing there is no way in the ten thousand hells that they would be interested in you. Not even as a person, in everyday conversation, as a mere friend.
This is a special kind of inhumane torture that you visit upon yourself.

Ya. Some I`ve only witnessed through other people, and some I`ve experienced myself. To me, these are some of the more common forms of psychoticness humans visit upon each other.

One last observation: I have noticed that when a person grits their teeth, they are up to no good / have intentions other than altruism.

[Khael!]

Hmm... yeah, I'll bet chavs are torture to listen to/see/smell/be within 200 feet of without a grenade.

Physical torture: Wiggers practically kill me. Those guys have such bad tastes, it's like seeing backwash in human form. And then they start rapping. There's no reason for it! Nobody wants to hear about what they want to do to some ho! Yes, it's physical torture. You have no idea how much pain I leave myself in after restraining myself from going King Kong on their sorry faces.


Mental torture: THE SONG THAT NEVER ENDS. The first four to eight bars of the catchy song everyone knows from the Pepsi commercial, whistled by someone too amature to keep in one key, over and over. Followed immediately by "omg my phone has that ringtone". Cue phone playing the same eight bars endlessly, because it's only a soundclip and never plays the rest of the blasted song. I keep expecting the next line, with variety and piano - but it never comes. And then I torture myself further because the crappily-whistled version with none of the base or synthesizing gets stuck in my musically-oriented head.

[VioletArrows]

Puns and bad jokes.

Being forced to listen to the inane.

Uncertainty (I could easily go further than this but no).

[BitVyper]

Internet people who bullshit about how they're really great fighters in real life. The ones who do it IRL are bad enough, but people exaggerate twice as much online. Hell, I've seen people honestly trying to convince everyone that they have chi powers.

[Binerexis]

I've seen a dude on TV with real ultra-cool kung-fu chi powers. He could lift up a sword with his dick.

That was pretty much a torture to watch in a way..

[OctoberRaven]

Idiots, bible thumpers, Florida drivers, and rap/hip-hop/wtfevermusic.

Emo sucks, but at least it's not 30 straight seconds of the same five words.

EDIT- Also when it rains while I'm driving, as I have no AC and in Florida windows up + no AC = you're taking a steam bath in your car.

[Loneyes]

More than anything, I hate the sound sandpaper makes when it rubs against itself. I would honestly tell someone anything they wanted to know if they used that against me.

[Khael!]

Chalk. The dessicating feel of it.

The noise of chalk on board only hurts if you let it, but that dry dust never comes off your fingers until it's done maddening you. No matter how many times you wipe it on your shirt.

[The SSB Intern]

People who think themselves' superior becasue they're some certain religion. Like that atheist guy who moaned about how God is in the pledge of Allegiance. And Tom Cruise.

Walking through my junior high and seeing a mast majority of people wearing Naruto merchandise. I have no clue why this annoys me though.

Could it be that Naruto is the one of the worst animes ever? (along side Pokemon)

Another thing that really gets me is when a torture or death scene in a movie is super realistic. What I mean by that is that you hear bones breaking or that gut twisting wet snap as someone has their wind pipe cut open

[BitVyper]

Berium. Seriously, if a doctor ever tries to get you to drink the stuff for an x-ray, kick him in the face and then stomp on his kidneys.

The taste of berium is something you never get rid of. Weeks later, you'll still feel like there's a coating of the stuff in your mouth.

I hate berium. I hate it with a passion. Such disgusting garbage.

[DavidG]

The sound of that white polystyrene stuff you get in packages.

I actually like Naruto. It's just that for some reason I can't seeing people walk around with those headbands.

[Mondt]

Could it be that Naruto is the one of the worst animes ever? (along side Pokemon):shifty: I was addicted to it until it started the filler acs... I mean, the story isn't too entirely bad. The problem is the dubbing. None of the voices fit the character they belong to... Which is why I watch the sub! ^.^

On topic: Livestrong Bands. I understand that there's a cause behind them. That's cool. But when everyone and their mother has one, it's kind of annoying. Fads don't normally happen to 3ish different generations at the same time.

Not to mention all of those knockoffs.

Another thing that just irks me to no end:

The girls/guys who lose their virginity at 14/15. Seriously, I know one of them and the most recent story is, "OK, now that my 20 year old boyfriend is gone, I'll go make out with my ex-boyfriend, but don't tell that to the guy that I see twice a year. He can't know about that."

Then she tries to tell me that I like her sister, who is 18. Gah! I'm shaking with rage just thinking about it!

Ugh.

I thoroughly dislike her.

Edit: Now that I think about it, that was more of a rant about the person, rather than the generality. I just kind of needed to let that off. But still!

[Binerexis]

Go up to someone and ask why he/she is wearing one. If they give an answer that isn't amazingly funny, ironic or medically accurate, throw a shuriken at their face.

[Rhiya Ravenwing]

Torture eh? This is so unfeminine of me, but....

Going shopping for unnecessary clothes and other accessories.
Wearing makeup.

My current Astronomy lecture class, in which we have a lecturer with the assiest accent and the most boring notes. Now THAT'S torture.
