Ouch! in Japan
Here’s one from goo Ranking quite high up on the silliness scale, things that are sorer than they look.
Demographics
Between the 18th and 2nd of February 2009 1,076 members of the goo Research monitor group completed a private online questionnaire. 51.1% of the sample were male, 7.2% in their teens, 15.8% in their twenties, 29.4% in their thirties, 25.2% in their forties, 11.1% in their fifties, and 11.3% aged sixty or older. Note that the score in the results refers to the relative number of votes for each option, not a percentage of the total sample.

I’m sure all the guys in the audience will be wincing at number five - perhaps its high ranking is from women not empathising with us in our moment of suffering. Talking about that region, other more obvious (to us guys at least) pains have perhaps been removed for the sake of decency.

For me personally, I sometimes get a trapped muscle in my neck that hurts something awful!

Interesting... never tried the zipper thing, but I'm a girl so... But it's so true those hurt! Banging the funny bone sure hurts, but they forgot to mention the tailbone! I fell on it once and couldn't move for a whole 10 minutes (maybe more, my perception of time was probably fuzzy at the time). I could do nothing else but lie on the floor the whole time... So painful!! >< And what about bumping into doors! I went to fast in a revolving door and never saw the window. The impact was so hard my glasses got twisted and I was bleeding, plus the headache that followed T_T

And, could you get emoticons any harder to remember... I know they're in Japanese, but, they're soooo long! I think I'll stick with "LOL" or ROFLMAO", much easier to remember and type.
