If hell existed, what do you think it would be like?

I’m leaning towards an airport type place where you’re constantly stressed out to get to the right terminal to catch your flight Grin

An eternal postnatal ward

Like being on a stinking fishing trawler in a storm in the middle of the night out in the North Sea in January. Permanently.

Being waterboarded. I'm terrified of drowning.

It's be an endless cold, dull church service with hard wooden pews and you'd be sitting next to someone who smelt of onions and wet dog and really couldn't sing but enthusiastically participated in hymns taking on a soprano part - you'd also be eternally bursting for the toilet knowing that you had no access to one, physically and acoustically uncomfortable and bored stiff for eternity.

no books This.

ChardonnaysDistantCousin · 19/09/2019 16:26

It’ll smell of Angel.

VondaVomin · 19/09/2019 16:30

Commuting on the tube and spending all day at work.

It's a school athletics track, where you're forced to finish a race that everyone else has already completed (you never will), with a nasty witch of a PE teacher trying to motivate you by humiliation.

I sometimes wonder if I have accidentally slipped into it already. The world is a horrible place.

Constant baby showers.

Mine is far too upbeat, but I reckon Hell is going to be amazing! All the rockers and metalheads and punks and poets and writers and actors and musicians, they'll be a Gay Pride parade everyday and amazing food and it's where all the cool people hang out. And they'll be lots of witches!

Although my idea of hell is being stuck with sanctimonious, judgy, pious church people. The ones who give me funny looks for turning up wearing a band t-shirt and blue lipstick (said bands are things like Evanescence and Nightwish, we're not talking Cannibal Corpse or Cradle Of Filth here!) They're also the ones who are anti-feminist, homophobic, transphobic, anti other religions, and usually a bit racist/xenophobic too. (The church I go to has form for this, I'm not just ranting!)

Heaviestdirtyestsoul · 19/09/2019 16:50

It would be like bank holiday monday when its pouring down, in the only soft play facility in a 30 mile radius. And they have run out of coffee and tea and cake- theres just fruit shoots and quavers! And its soooo sticky.....

vampirethriller · 19/09/2019 16:53

Sports, especially tennis
Kale and red wine
Benedict Cumberbatch and Love Island on TV non stop
Only romantic novels/chick lit
No dogs
Spiders

Oh I love airports, but I’m ex cabin crew ‘saddo’.

I think hell would be doing piles of ironing on a treadmill that never stops for ‘Lord’ Mandelson 🤮 well, that about covers my three hates in one.

2018SoFarSoGreat · 19/09/2019 17:00

According to my DH it will either be a laundromat or ToysRUs.

My hell would be loads of people in a confined space, all talking on their phones loudly, some playing loud (sweary rap) music, too hot and no way to get out. Oh wait. That was my commuter train this morning.

They will make me eat chicken and drink tea. I am going to change my ways, dramatically!

Disfordarkchocolate · 19/09/2019 17:04

I love a laundromat @SoFarSoGreat.

Warm, relaxing, smell nice and soft clothes afterwards. I used to use one that had an Italian bakery on one side and a chicken shop on the other - my idea of heaven.

FlatheadScrewdriver · 19/09/2019 17:06

Surely it will involve phoning tech support? Possibly at HMRC for the double-win? From a caravan.

Verytubbycustard · 19/09/2019 17:12

Primark on Oxford Street on a Saturday afternoon.

lazylinguist · 19/09/2019 17:13

It would have 'inspirational' posters on the walls, full of spelling and grammar mistakes. It would serve weak tea with longlife milk . Television would constantly be on, showing only reality tv shows. And the only music would be Heavy Metal or happy clappy church music. Oh and there would be spiders everywhere.

StumpyinSomerset · 19/09/2019 17:17

There will be milky tea,in a crowded room with views of just buildings and people,no hills or trees.

There will be no books or cushions or squashy chairs. It'll be very noisy with music and televisions on all of the time,no peace and quiet.

MuddlingThrough1724 · 19/09/2019 17:50

A rush hour train, during a heatwave, with a demanding toddler who has just developed a sick bug in tow 🤷🏼‍♀️

dayslikethese1 · 19/09/2019 17:51

It could also be being forced to do a bullshit corporate away day for all eternity and there aren't even any pastries Grin

And there's no animals Sad

GeorgiaGirl52 · 19/09/2019 18:08

Rock music playing constantly. Only food available is vegan.

ThisIsTheGreatestShow · 19/09/2019 18:24

It will be full of professional martyrs, mood hoovers and time vampires
