About the Pain Scale meme template
You know this chart from every doctor's office and urgent care waiting room: a row of cartoon faces going from blissed-out green smile to screaming red agony, numbered 0 to 10. Two panels let you box off different ranges for a before/after gut-punch.
It's built for comparing a mild annoyance to a catastrophic one — stubbing your toe versus finding out the WiFi is down, or how you rated your hangover at 22 versus how you rate it now that you're 30. Circle the low number for the thing that should hurt and the high number for the thing that actually does.
