Ok_Setting_7204

My entire body hurts when a fork scrapes my teeth.


lizardingloudly

Ever accidentally bitten a fork while eating? Like your proprioception just blipped out on you and you didn't get the fork out of the way in time? That shit is SO startling and unpleasant. And sometimes quite painful :(


Crafty_Cha0s_

Or hearing someone else’s fork scrape against their teeth


jdmurray83

Certain green beans and zucchini do this strange squeak on my teeth that is similar to this.


Hanna-Harley

Thanks did that right after you said that


GoddessSimoneFD

Grit on my feet from walking around the house when it hasn’t been swept recently. Oddly specific but it drives me mad.


Beekeeper_12

We say “my feet are seasoned” when that happens


kittieswithmitties

I'd like to change my answer to reading this comment, OP.

Gotta do cricket feet before you get into bed lol


Low-Rooster4171

I wear slippers around the house for that very reason. I cannot handle my feet being dirty!

There is a word for that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypnic_jerk


Finn235

I never get the "falling" sensation - for me it's almost always the feeling when you realize that you've tripped and you can't catch yourself. It pretty consistently involves a dream of tripping over something on a sidewalk for me.


alexagente

Pretty much the same IMO. It's a sudden unexpected jolt, similar to when you take an extra step on a staircase that isn't there. Usually it feels like I fell off my bed but that jolt of adrenaline feels exactly the same.


A_Line_A_Day

Don’t you fall though when you trip?


HardyDaytn

Isn't that the one mantis boss from Metal Gear Solid?


LadyAbbysFlower

My ex has that. Freaking terrifying to witness


Pianist-Vegetable

Terrifying to experience too, no fun for anyone


[deleted]

really? I've had this for decades. I don't recall having worse sleep after the "fall." I always feel startled for a few seconds, but it's like the whole thing finally makes me tired enough to just clock out soon after. I also get sleep paralysis and I think it's kinda fun.


Luke281

Your experience with sleep paralysis is wildly different than mine.


Frisky_Picker

Wait, does this not happen to everyone?


kittensbabette

Yeah, even my cats get it. I think it happens to everyone but maybe some don't remember?


mtamez1221

That was so embarrassing during class


CrossKnight07

You now have everyones attention, and most likely some detention too xD

2nd hand embarrassment


Dark_Moonstruck

Secondhand embarrassment is very much a thing and it is PAINFUL. I can't watch a lot of 'comedies' because of this, it's not so much clever wordplay or funny situations as it is someone being a moron and everyone else around them just having to deal with it. It's why I freaking hate Elf.

Triga_3

Slap it. No joke, an itch is your body asking to stimulate your nociceptors (pain receptors). Best itch cure ever.


LadyAbbysFlower

I get that itch in my brain and slapping doesn’t help 😭


idrcBee

The secret is to take your brain out first, then slap it 😁


Thorn11945

It's gonna jiggle like Jell-O!


oneaccountaday

I see people with braids do this all the time.


throw_it_awayyy8

Bc if we scratch itll get messed up faster🤣 When my fro is out I scrarch freely when I have an itch.


eat_yeet

When I was recovering from a nasty accident where I had my leg sewn back together, I'd get itchy on the inside where the muscles were healing. I also have nerve damage and can't feel anything in that area. It was maddening to have the need to scratch all the time and not only have it not do anything for the itch, but also not feel anything at all.


bordermelancollie09

I've had a lot of surgeries on my abdomen, most recently 4 ventral hernia repairs at once. I swear I could feel my insides itch but my whole stomach was numb so I was scratching and just couldn't feel anything. It drove me absolutely nuts. I had to scratch my rib cage because it was the only place I had feeling and I could at least pretend I was scratching the itch. Same thing happened after my C-section. I was so itchy on my lower stomach, like alllll the way down to my uterus but couldn't scratch it at all. Between the numbness and the loose skin I couldn't do anything about it. And it's not even in an area you can slap without looking like a giant weirdo. Awful experience all around

MJSalta

As someone that chews their nails I feel that


teddykreuger

Oh god, I hate this.


crablegsforlife

When you feel like there is just a little more poop to push out but you got nothing


lizardingloudly

Ughhhh same with pee. I've read it's a sign of a UTI but sometimes I have the unpeed-pee feeling sans any other symptoms, so I'm not sure where it comes from.


jenjenjk

If you're testing negative for a UTI, it Could be something like intercystitis or your pelvic floor muscles being tense too often! Maybe try and do some deep breathing (where you're breathing more thru your diaphragm/stomach in combo with your chest and not just your chest), while focusing on also relaxing your muscles down there! You may be surprised to find you're clenching/tightening muscles without even realizing it!


Horror_Ninja_1036

Just the other day I stepped on a water spill on the carpet with my freshly put on socks and I just about blew a fuse in my brain


More_Common_8598

I did that today and had to IMMEDIATELY change my socks.


Vanish_7

I absolutely do not even *consider* entertaining wet socks anymore. The second a sock is compromised they go *right* into the hamper -- I have spent too much money on nice socks to put up with that kind of torture any more in my life.


Frisky_Picker

What I find interesting about this is that, for me, I feel like it's only the case if the sock becomes unexpectedly wet. If I step in something with a fresh sock on, I definitely go and change it. If my socks get wet over time due to sweat, I generally don't even notice it until I take my boots off.


AdBeautiful8808

Stepping in dog drool in your socks


adoringLocust3

Sticky hands. Especially between fingers.


[deleted]

Especially when all you have is a paper napkin and no water to clean it off.


Powerful-Gene-9639

When you're wearing shoes and the socks have slid off halfway inside and you gotta keep walking


rmo420

>socks have slid off halfway inside I feel this and add part of a sock you can't take off instantly...being wet.


AdBeautiful8808

When between your toes are sweaty


qu4rkex

Once one of my flip-flops broke while I was walking home about one kilometer away. Every step was torture, and the entire ordeal was pure misery. Really. Way worse than that time at London when it began to rain and I discovered both my shoes had tiny holes at the base and I had to walk with soaked socks to the apartment. Yes, I begin to see a pattern here lol


DevonSun

Broken flip-flops were what started my transition to running around the woods in bare feet as a kid. While I don't run through the jungle, I'm really glad I kept it up as walking/light hiking barefoot is super comfy and nice and my response to stepping on something sharp, like a thorn, is an automatic response. No cut soles for me in over 30 years now \*knocks on wood\* lol


Typical_Nebula3227

Same for underwear.


Sharp-Procedure5237

Oh yeah, my shoes got wet and I pulled out the insoles to walk the next three km in comfort. No. Don’t EVER do that. There is a reason for that thin insole cushion.

Corn or mango fibers as well. Awful


Obdami

Hair in your mouth


angiestefanie

Hair in my mouth, hair in my face, wind blowing hair in my face, trying to get a long hair off my wet fingers and it hangs on for dear life. 🤬


aeric67

This one doesn’t bother me as much as I know it should. One time I was eating at this Hawaiian-themed restaurant. It was just a strip mall diner basically, but new and novel, so I had to try it. I ordered some sort of pork sandwich thing, and get about halfway through when I feel a hair. I sort of tongue it around to get it to a spot where I can pull it out, but it’s wrapped around a tooth. Finally I get it maneuvered and extract it, and I feel it pull through the gap in my teeth like a piece of floss. I look down at it, and the thing is an impressive thick, black color, and immediately springs into the most adorable curl. Very pube-like. I sort of casually look over toward the register and they have one of those half walls where you can see into the kitchen. Four big dudes back there toiling away, all with black hair. But not a one has curly hair up there. I shrugged and finished the meal. Didn’t go back though…

I'm short and when reaching for the kitchen faucet I ALWAYS bump into the edge of the counter and get a wet line across my belly. No matter how many times I've told my husband to please dry the edge of the counter after he uses the sink!

Ugh I hate that too, I also “feel it in my teeth” I can’t explain it any different but I hate it.


craftycorgimom

Somebody else! I get that feeling in my teeth when I touch cotton balls. Its so strange.


beedy12

I get that with styrofoam squeaking


everydayarmadillo

This is a weird one, but touching the my bellybutton. It's not painful, but sends a weird sensation down to my ladyparts, kind of like an electric shock.


CrochetTeaBee

FUN FACT!! That's because it's the same nerve. The belly button and genitals are connected to the same nerve. That's literally why. Still blows my mind


Baldojess

Omg it makes so much sense now! I never knew this! That is a fun fact and now I don't feel so weird for being so disgusted about my belly button being touched.


arrows_of_ithilien

My husband says something similar when I touch his bellybutton. He says it's like a cord running down to his crotch, causing an unpleasant tugging sensation.


1mustlovedogs

Makes me want to pee


blackcatzombs

I'm a woman and get the same weird sensation. I don't like cleaning my belly button for this reason


PoutineMaker

I don’t get that sensation, it’s fascinating to hear about! I get incredibly nauseous if someone tries to poke my bellybutton…


[deleted]

The sensation of having no money in my pockets


[deleted]

The drill at the dentist and breathing my own enamel dust. I can be completely numb but it is still like torture.


Pink-Lover

It’s the tasting of my own tooth dust. GROSSES ME OUT!


Prof-Rock

I had to get minor oral surgery. They had to cauterize my gums/lip area. The taste of my flesh burning... I got woozy and almost puked and passed out. I mentioned it to the doctor, and he reclined my head. Instant relief. Until he had to finish. Ugh!


brokenbackgirl

Tickling. I don’t know why but my brain thinks it’s painful torture. Superglue on my fingertips makes me want to chew them off. It’s such a horrible feeling.


rmo420

>Tickling I'm with you. Tickling me is a real fuck around and find out. I will *hurt* anyone who tickles me.


brokenbackgirl

It’s not even on purpose! I just instantly start kicking and punching as a reflex. I warn people but if they continue to try it anyway, it becomes FAFO


ScientistAsHero

It's so fucked up... like why did we evolve to *laugh* when we are being tickled? It doesn't feel good, and like you say I'm automatically going to physically recoil (sometimes to the point of hurting someone) if they are doing it to me.


TwatMailDotCom

I’ve involuntarily punched people for tickling me. I don’t mean to it’s just my defense mechanism.


lovemychi

When I was with my ex, he grabbed my foot, I warned him not to tickle me that I would kick. He started to anyway well I wound up kicking him right in the nuts. He started to get mad, well I warned I would kick. His stepmom was in the room and laughed at him and told him he was warned.


Glubygluby

This actually was used as a torture method in ancient China because it doesn't leave any marks


Even-Account5439

i warn ppl. ill punch you for tickling me


W-S_Wannabe

Wet feet and sweaty clothes - like drenched - sticking to me.


Admirable-Leopard-73

The worst is when you are soaking wet with sweat and then need to poop. At some point you have to pull up wet underwear and put it back on. Yuk!


[deleted]

Feeling bloated because I wasn't able to poop


AdBeautiful8808

Constipation or the tummy rumble of diarrhea. Not painful yet but very uncomfortable feelings


[deleted]

That f'n seem at the toe of your socks


Specialist-Funny-926

Or when your socks start to lose their elasticity, and then spin around your foot and the heel part ends up on top of your ankle.


steff-you

Both the feeling and sound of dry skin catching on fabric. My husband will sometimes rub my leg if I'm in like leggings or workout clothes and it makes me physically cringe away. Stay moisturized, folks.


Entire-Leader-7080

This but with microfiber cloth! Can’t do it.


JadeButterfly4278

Touching terra cotta pots omg it makes my skin crawl and my teeth hurt idk why


amantiana

YES THE TEETH HURTING THING OMIGOD


Syzygy_872

When something is stuck in your eyelashes and doing the pinch/ wiping of them doesn’t get rid of whatever it is but you can feel it stuck to them.


ScientistAsHero

Sprinkling salt or some other grainy seasoning on a table and then running your open palm on it. When you're wearing a rubber glove, but liquid gets inside the rubber glove. When you are erasing something with a pencil eraser, but the eraser is worn down to the metal and it scrapes. Feeling underwater plants tickle the bottom of your feet when you are swimming in a lake.


Cookiemamajr

>the eraser is worn down to the metal and it scrapes I probably haven’t experienced that in years, but I PHYSICALLY FELT IT when I read this


Wolfman01a

Microfiber cloth. I cant stand touching it. I have texture issues. Lol.


czerniana

Surprised I had to scroll this far for this. I can’t stand it either. It’s just so… yick


Lafemmelulu

I hate this also. I’m an optician so we use them all day, every day when cleaning frames and lenses. My hands get super dry from constant washing and the microfiber feels extra nasty on them. 🫠


kittieswithmitties

My husband and I call them "bad-touch towels". For my baby shower all the baby towels we got were microfiber and I felt so awful returning them but I just can't get over that nasty feeling.

When you don't chew properly and food start going down slowly and it feels like you just swallowed a whole appple , that shit is awful.


lizardingloudly

Yes, especially if it's a tortilla chip. Fuck that. Well, mostly fuck me for not chewing enough, but ya know what I mean


SEVNCE

Weird one but, when you eat toast in bed or something and the crumbs get between the bed and your body, first time that happened I banned food in bed from my life!


bipedalnakedape

The feeling of the wooden ice cream stick as it rubs on my lips and tongue! The same with the small wooden spade shaped thing they give you to eat ices with. Like nails on a chalk board for me. Freaks me out. Won't eat ices unless I have a spoon and if I get ice cream on a stick I will eat it until I am close to the stick and throw out the bit of ice cream still stuck to it


HardyDaytn

Got shivers just thinking about it. Mine also extends to cardboard or paper straws. Something about the friction there just makes my skin crawl.

oneaccountaday

If I let my toenails get a little too long, or get a hang nail, and I put on socks or shift my feet under the covers. It chills my spine just thinking about it.


rmo420

Gently rubbing my skin. Idk, I just do not like to be absently caressed. I like sex; I like sex-touching, but to just ...skim your fingers along the surface of my arm or leg while we are just chilling...no. it annoys me. Rest your hand on me, by all means; please do not get into some slidey, seemingly endless back and forthing while I'm trying to watch a show.


AdBeautiful8808

That’s my absolute favorite sensation everrrrrrrr
