Migraines...
... are not fun, for those of you who have never had one. A common symptom is massively increased sensitivity to light and sound, with the presence of either of these causing head-splitting pain and waves of nausea.

The fuckwit in the room above me had not ever had a migraine, but he knew about the symptoms because I explained them to him. So when I had migraines, he thought it was funny to put on thumping rock music, which because of then sound/nausea thing, quite literally, made me puke.

Another housemate told me that he used to actually time it, and see how many minutes of different heavy metal bands it would take, before I was crawling to the bathroom to puke my guts up.
