The 12 Levels of Pain
April 2, 2010 Hyperbole and a Half is officially my new favorite blog.
In a hilarious post about her boyfriend’s visit to the ER, Allie Brosh created a whole new chart to illustrate the different levels of pain. Her chart and legend are below, but you REALLY have to go and read the entire post.
0: Hi. I am not experiencing any pain at all. I don’t know why I’m even here.
1: I am completely unsure whether I am experiencing pain or itching or maybe I just have a bad taste in my mouth.
2: I probably just need a Band Aid.
3: This is distressing. I don’t want this to be happening to me at all.
4: My pain is not fucking around.
5: Why is this happening to me??
6: Ow. Okay, my pain is super legit now.
7: I see Jesus coming for me and I’m scared.
8: I am experiencing a disturbing amount of pain. I might actually be dying. Please help.
9: I am almost definitely dying.
10: I am actively being mauled by a bear.
11: Blood is going to explode out of my face at any moment.
Too Serious For Numbers: You probably have ebola. It appears that you may also be suffering from Stigmata and/or pinkeye.
Seriously — go read the full post on Hyperbole and a Half now. You won’t regret it.

Thumbs Up

This signifies approval, right? “Good job!”…. “Well done!”…. “All right!” Well, not in most of Latin America, West Africa, Greece, Russia and Italy —- where it basically means “Up Yours!” You’ll definitely want to avoid using this in the Middle East, where it’s considered so offensive you can get arrested for it in several countries.

Good to know: The OK sign is NOT OK to use in Mediterranean countries and the South Americas. While the actual rude gesture signifying “a-hole!” has the middle, ring and little finger curved rather than straight, it’s easy to see how people unfamiliar with the “OK” sign might react badly to its use.
