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

Hell would be trying to put two small children to bed as they keep fucking getting up again and coming downstairs to demand things, as you try to do a job application that needs to be finished by tomorrow but keep getting distracted by the sound of thudding feet overhead or inexplicable squeals for no reason. Oh no wait, that's real life.

If it’s not fire and brimstone, it’ll be a waiting room, where no-one ever gets called, and you don’t know why you’re waiting, and you never get to leave. And it’s all gray and drab, and the chairs aren’t very comfortable. And you don’t have anything to read.

It will be an endless loop of me walking down High st. with my knickers caught in my skirt.

SecretWitch · 19/09/2019 21:18

Or conversely, with my skirt caught in my nicks

Dandelion2476 · 19/09/2019 21:19

It does exist. It’s my workplace.

The endless wait in the waiting room for a procedure that is dreaded, the meeting which discusses trivia and never comes to a conclusion, deanery synod in a cold church with hard pews and weak tea.

A pot holing expedition with Jeremy Clarkson and Donald Trump. Spiders and only offal to eat

Debenhams or similar on the first day of January sales. And wearing something v uncomfortable. Suffering from Serious PMS. And all these people you don’t particularly like fighting over clothes. Food will be a food fight buffet with all the foods you either hate or just don’t look appetising

A locked room with Sam Smith wanging on for infinity to me about how to woman.

BellatrixLeStrangest · 19/09/2019 21:38

Here. Where we are right now. Childhood cancer, murders, rapes, people in my opinion are a bit deluded if they think we're not in hell right now. And no I don't believe in the Christian God at all.

Perpetual exhaustion where you are only allowed to get a couple of hours of sleep every once in a while.

Tia3251 · 19/09/2019 22:37

wicked that my life right now!

Tinty · 19/09/2019 22:38

No books would be my kind of hell!

Symptomless · 19/09/2019 22:41

A place where you're constantly having to face your fear without any possibility of learning to overcome it. So for me it would be walking on stage ready to give a speech in front of acquaintances. On a loop for eternity.

Tolleshunt · 19/09/2019 22:41

Newborn Tia?!

Macca84 · 19/09/2019 22:43

It will be awesome - surely the best people go to hell? Plus some of the greatest minds; einstein, sagan, etc. Who wants to end up through the pearly gates for all eternity with a bunch of folk who have conformed to a book all their lives? Grin

ElizaPancakes · 19/09/2019 22:44

It would be sitting in a room with my FIL while he drinks tea and eats biscuits.

Poetryinaction · 20/09/2019 00:01

Full of cats.

A civil service department away day.

morrisseysquif · 20/09/2019 00:10

My sister, shrieking at any social event, putting me down in front of people, then saying 'I'm only joking' while rolling her eyes and smirking, over and over and over.....

Perpetual winter; snow and cold.

ShippingNews · 20/09/2019 01:15

Being forced to have coffee with my ex , and I'm unable to leave because I'm stuck to the chair. He never eats or sleeps, he just sits there mansplaining things to me forever.

GibbonLover · 20/09/2019 01:35

It is a train that's stuck still on the tracks due to eternal signalling failure. The person opposite is eating something hot and stinky, there are screaming toddlers and ones who aren't screaming but are watching the same 'Old Macdonald had a farm' video on repeat and they're covered in snot and coughing with their mouth open. Nigel Farage and Tommy Robinson are engaging in an extremely loud conversation about the 'Muslamics', the windows don't open and there is a toilet but there's a great big shit in the bowl (deposited by Farage) which simply will not flush.
