Hell would be a place where I am never allowed to be alone. A close second would involve living past a normal human life expectancy.

Hell is having all of my HP printers removed from the environment, and replaced with Xerox devices, supported by Xerox techs.

(I support 6500+ print queues for a living, 90+% are HP devices, the rest Xerox, and we recently kicked Xerox techs out of our offices)

Listening to a SO nattering on about her dream the night before. Just give me the first ticket to Hell.

For me, hell is a combination of all of my fears…

I would be trapped in a plane, filled with clowns and beekeepers with hives of bees buzzing around.

I recently read a book by Ben Elton, [Blind Faith](http://www.waterstones.com/waterstonesweb/displayProductDetails.do?sku=5956537), which was set in a post-apocalyptic society which is my idea of hell. Either that or being trapped on a Central Line tube during rush hour without my iPod or anything to read, \*and never being allowed to get off. \*

My hell would be being forced to listen to comedian Rush Limbaugh all day and Bill O’Liely all night.
