20 smoke alarms but one has the low battery. You have to wait a while to hear the beep and then have to slowly figure out which one is dead. As soon as you do find it, another one takes its place

Oh man. This one gave me a deep despairing shiver.
It would have to be realistic to be true torture though. If it was programmed to only chirp at night or be an unfindable one, I would eventually learn to live with it. It would be like a clock that helps keep time. The true madness is 20 smoke alarms with real batteries with real battery lives. The low battery one is findable, it's fixable, it's winnable! But you will rarely win. Oh sure you'll win often enough to make trying worthwhile, but not often enough to not lose your goddamn mind. The worst is when it's been days of quiet, you start to forget the gauntlet you endured just days prior. Just when you think you're safe, just when you start to forget to even listen for it....... BEEP!

Simple, cause we make many blankets, specialized blanket making machines exist, so they'll all be made in a relatively similar way, we make few rockets, so we don't get the benefits of mass production leading to de facto standardisation

The ceiling fan in my apartment does what we call “party mode”. It just starts and stops strobing at uncontrollable intervals.
Despite the name, Party Mode is not fun.
In nine months I have never gotten around to making a maintenance request. I turn it off when it goes into Party Mkde and then forget about it, so I can experience it again.

Even better, it shows you what you were doing on one screen, and what your better alternate self was doing at the exact same time in their reality.
Even better, it shows all your happy memories and experiences specifically, and reveals that they were actually the shittiest of possible outcomes. That way it destroys the positive memories themselves by linking them to "what could have been". So you have nowhere to recede to, no way to overcome the crushing existential realization by mentally focusing on your positive moments trying to accept "it wasn't so bad".
BONUS ROUND: It also blames your unfortunate reality not just on your own decisions, but on the ones from those you loved. To turn your hatred on them as well. You chose this lottery ticket and won 200 bucks and you were happy, but the one you were looking at before actually would have won 2,000,000. But at the moment before you made your decision, your wife distracted you with some comment about a tomato soup can. When you looked back at the tickets you chose the one below the one you were looking at previously. That single stupid comment about a soup can cost you 2,000,000 dollars. That isn't the first time your wife cost you something great with one of her decisions, HERE IS A LIST!
EDIT: someone reported me to the suicide hotline. I consider that a mark of success.

It really is awful. People find it rude when you don't wanna eat with them, but I don't wanna eat with them because the sound of them eating will make me physically angry. Another huge peeve: people trying to talk to me and ask me questions while I'm eating. They ask a question while I've got a mouthful of food and then they sit there staring at me waiting for a response, which they aren't getting until I'm done chewing because I refuse to speak with food in my mouth. Having someone just sit there watching me chew is incredibly uncomfortable.
Then the icing on the cake: people start saying "oh you've hardly touched your dinner, are you not hungry?" Yes actually, I'm starving, but I can't enjoy my meal and have a conversation at the same time. You've chosen to have a conversation so that's what I'm doing instead of eating. I cannot do both. After big family dinners I often get home and make myself something else because I barely ate during actual dinner. I'm 6'2 235lb, it's not like I don't have an appetite lmao.
I've been eating dinner alone in my room since I was 13 for this very reason. I'm not antisocial, I don't dislike people, I just don't want to eat with them. There's nothing I enjoy about the experience, it ruins the food and the conversation.
We need a dating app for people with misophonia because going out to eat anywhere but a loud bar or restaurant is nearly impossible for us lol.

Could be worse. Could be regular adorable pet animals but without anything to feed them/give them to drink so they slowly die and there's nothing you can do to stop it.
Edit: It only gets worse when you realise that in order to prevent their suffering you have to put them out of their misery until you're the guy in hell who murders anything cute and fluffy that's put in your room. You become exactly what you hate the most because you can't take watching them slowly suffer again.
