WYR: have an itch you couldn't get rid of for the rest of your life, or the hiccups for the rest of your life? Neither deteriorate your health, they're just annoying. (fanaticus.social)

The itch won't inhibit my eating, drinking, speaking etc, so that one.

I'd go with the itch. In the 1 out of 1 cases I know of where someone had chronic hiccups, they ended up going to jail for murder.

Those are bad odds

The itch would bother me more, but the hiccups would bother other people more. I'm not sure which I would choose.

fuck others if I have to suffer then everyone else can suffer too

edit: figuring out whether or not I'm joking is left as an exercise to the reader

Suicide will be easier with just an itch.

Edit: Wait, no! We have euthanasia here. Hiccups so I can get medical sign-off.

TBF I don't know how serious I actually am about that, we'd see. They both sound like hell though.

The itch would be impossible to prove and I'd just be seen as a grumpy asshole, at least the hiccups can be understood

I get chiggers at my camp about every weekend in the summer, no matter how much bug spray. One itch would be a relief.

Scratching an itch feels good even when it doesn’t actually go away. I’ll take that over hiccups since they’re nothing but downside.

That is the most frustrated I've ever felt!
