Hearing fingernails on a blackboard is bad enough, accidentally scraping your nails on it and having that feeling travel up your tissues into your forearm is awful.
Travelling over a mountain pass or on an airplane and having an ear that refuses to pop - for a day or two.
Having an eyelash stuck up under your lid where you can't get at it.
Cutting you fingernails or toenails too short and exposing that tender area. Every time that digit touches something for the next few days knowing it's completely your fault that it hurts.
Having a kitten hanging off of you by one of those needle sharp claws.
Getting a paper cut from corrugated cardboard while unpacking automotive batteries.
Having a baggy swimsuit and swimming through a school of fry (very small fish).
A coworker says the feeling he gets when someone is crushing styrofoam is terrible.
Leaving on a long road march, knowing you won't be able to stop for quite a while, and having the edge of that boot sole/ammo can/mess tin poking you in the back with every step.
