a visual word to describe that moment when you wish to pull your hair out and scream loudly and imagine a screen shot of you that spins away above your head leaving you standing alone shouting AAAAAAAHHHHHHH in your current surrounding, anyone else around you is oblivious to you. (various spellings open to poetic licence) Open to similar visualisations, to convey frustration, and a sence of despair and loneliness, when things go wrong inspite of best laid plans. Or A sudden realisation of hoplessnes. It is a worse feeling than needing to use a expletive such as Sh+t, which is for somthing short sharp and painfull....

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
