What is the worst physical sensation that is entirely painless?

Reddit top voted answers...
When seaweed grazes your feet or legs in the ocean:
"Guess I'm dying now."
Trying to put on clean clothes after a shower in a hot and humid room.
Randomly crunching down on a couple of grains of sand.
Stepping on a wet floor while wearing socks.
Bed spins after drinking too much. Walking through an unseen spider web. That feeling you get when you suddenly realize that you left your purse/wallet/phone in a public establishment..over an hour ago!

Right after you find out that you didn't have to fart, but you just shit your pants.

One that pisses me off is when you get that feeling that you need to burp, but nothing makes it go away. You just have to wait. What is that?

Another is soaking wet clothes. For some reason it nearly paralyzes you.

Having the dried blackened toe of an elderly diabetic suddenly break off in your hand during a routine physical exam and she screams, Whatthehell'd you jus' DO?"

Trust me on that one.

Drinking a liquid and swallowing something solid.

A shirt too tight that you can't seem to get off.

Leaving the house after a busy morning and you're on your way to Fort Collins and you rub your tongue against your teeth and it feelz fuzy and your heart sinks as you realize you forgot to brush your teeth and you are late for an appointment and there's no time to stop and buy a tooth brush and you hope like hell there's some mint gum in your purse.

Watching in PP videos in seeming painful skip, skip, skippy, skip five second intervals feels like being physically torn apart by uncaring forces.

It reminded me of a doctor pulling out a row of staples exactly like a regular stapler puller bink bink bink bink bink KNOCK IT OFF! Let me do it.

No.

Yes.

No.

Yes.

No.

Yes. Come on. I can do it perfectly well.

No.

Laws and such, insurances, heavy duty business, previous law suits, malpractice, the whole lot. Finally, at length I was able to negotiate skipping around. It was the staples in predictable row that drove me nuts. Not controlling it drove me nuts. I ended up telling her which ones to do next, wildly out of order. It HURT in my mind.

For me it's two, tickling and a head rush.

@ricpic
it's good to be king.

Oh, and:
That feeling you get when you awaken and suddenly realize it is not, in fact, Saturday with the lazy morning stretched out ahead of you like an empty plain, but Wednesday, and you're going to be late no matter what.

Socks, devoid of elastic, slipping down into your shoes as you walk in the snow, too cold to pull them up.

The death-grip handshake from the toothy salesman with creepy eyes which makes you finally decide "No."

As you can tell, I am great at parties.

Stepping in cold water with socks on has to be the worst. Its probably what a cat feels when you throw some water on him.

Once I got so drunk, I pissed on myself, and it actually felt good - AT THE TIME. Kinda warm and welcoming. Not so good when I woke up the next day.
