I took a biscuit to bed with me last night and then spent the night regretting it as I brushed crumbs off the sheets. Man I HATE having crumbs in my bed! Which, of course, does indicate that I should not eat biscuits in bed . But anyway, what physical sensations which, whilst not painful, really annoy you? Another is sitting down whilst wearing wet clothes. And getting out of the bath or shower and drying off then realising that you still have a soapy bit.

Last paragraph, George Orwell said something similar in 1939, "Coming Up For Air".

I don't think I've ever had soapy bits so I don't know that feeling. Sand in your bathers is an annoying feeling. Being cold.

Itching. Off-key singer or violin. Claustrophobic feeling of being helplessly tangled up in clothes when you're trying to take them off. The taste of castor oil. Nails being dragged across a blackboard.

Sudden loud sounds after a while of quiet. It makes me wince. The sound of someone using a broom or brushing their teeth. Just thinking of it does the same.

Numb bits like when your leg goes to sleep.
Itches ... almost "pain" but not quite. Like insect bites (I have one on my hand at the moment). Or clothing labels - at the back of your next or, for some odd reason, on the left seam at waist level on some shirts / T-shirts.
Being sticky when it's too hot.

...or with claws! Does Tinnitus count as a physical sensation? I have got used to it over 30 years, but it would still be nice to turn it off.

Itching is a great example. I went through a phase, whenever I had an itch, of trying to pretend that I was an astronaut and could NOT scratch it and to see how long I could manage not to do so for. Not very long, was the general answer.

I get an itch on my head sometimes when I have my motorbike helmet on. When there's nothing you can do about it you tend to have more staying power with it.

Chafing. The friction of damp skin on damp skin.
Itching in the ear canal.
Excessive phlegm production that requires repeated nose and throat clearing.
Piles.

Some of those sound rather more painful than irritating frankly

Sitting down in wet rrousers is one I hate. And worse: taking wet trousers off and putting dry sweatpants on for swordfencing and getting back into the wet jeans afterwards.

Yes, as long as the water stays in contact, at body temperature, your barely notice it. My motorbike trousers did it the other week. They are waterproof as long as you don't sit for a long time in it. The saddle was wet and when I got home and went indoors it all started, even though I'd been sat in it a couple of hours, barely aware of it.

My fingers lock every time I extend them fully, so not really painful, just... uncomfortable and annoying.

The puppy managed to lick inside my nostril today. That left me feeling distinctly odd for hours.
