Losing an Internet connection was ranked the most unbearable thing by 33 percent of all voters. One netizen wrote that being without Internet access is like being sentenced to death.

The second worst torture, listed by 22 percent of respondents, is having to get up early in the morning.

About 10 percent ranked missing somebody as a type of torture.

At the bottom of the list is having to get along with a Virgo, an option that stirred hilarious debate.
