So I too have a friend who made capsaicin oil. He told me to dip my finger just a tad, then touch it to a piece of bread. So I did, and the bread burnt my face off(not literally, but my face was beat red). Then, with everyone laughing at me he stressed that I go wash my hand thoroughly. I washed my hand normally instead. Then, as we were drinking, about 15 minutes later I had to pee.
After holding "it" for about 3 seconds, I realized my mistake. I have never felt such pain. I could not sooth it no matter what I did. I filled the sink with cold water and tried to dip "it" in the water. That kinda made it feel worse. Understanding chemistry and that soap may help me get rid of oil faster, I tried scrubbing with soap and it actually brought tears to my eyes. In the end, 2 hours of tear jerking (pun not intended) pain was seared into my memory. I now shudder when I eat spicy food

The second was when there was a Red Devil in Calgary where Shanks used to be. They had the wall of fire there which was lame. Me and a buddy who has a much higher pain tolerance than me had this other hot sauce they kept behind the bar. You had to sign a waiver to taste it. My buddy grabs two tortilla chips and loads them up with sauce. I almost died. Physically burnt my mouth and I couldn't finish eating the rest of my meal because any temperature on the food just continued to burn my mouth. It sucked and the next day was even worse.
I entered a chilli contest once... I cut up a red/green habenera which physically burn the skin on my fingers and hands. I had to put ice on them for the rest of the night. I then simmered the meat for 30 minutese with a table spoon of cayenne, a table spoon of crushed chillis, half a bottle of Frank's for flavour, 6 diced jalepeno's and half a bottle of tabasco. Added this to the meet for 24 hours before the contest. There was one chili hotter than mine but I won first place because mine tasted better. It was delicious. I now always make the same recipe minus the habenero. You can't get through a bowl without sweating and nose runs but it tastes so damn good. Now I am off to go buy chilli recipe stuff.

Had some suicide wings at some bar when I was younger, they were well beyond my threshold.
Few weeks back (some might remember the thread) i got some red chili peppers and green cayenne peppers from a coworker and made some nice salsa. The first batch, we wanted to be sure not to overdo the heat, so we cut up and pulled all the seeds from the chilis by hand, without any gloves. My hands burnt so badly for 2-3 hours afterwards. Turns out that it was pretty tame in the salsa, so the next batch we doubled the peppers and left the seeds in. Was the first time I was really glad I had my Slapchop as it minced them like nothing and I never needed to touch a thing.
Best salsa ever.

No joke, I used a big piece of wasabi to cool my mouth down after the Kazan roll. They normally aren't bad... but we commented the first order we got were pretty tame to the chef, so he sent over some more that he dared us to try... he wins.
I have to admit, I'm pretty cocky when it comes to hot sauce. I've had suicide wings everywhere across this great city and have never given up. Although I came close one evening at the Unicorn- try the Satan's Candy if you're brave.
Anyways, I was in Vegas a few months back walking through that Planet Hollywood mall and I came across a hot sauce stand. The lady was giving away a few free samples so naturally I stopped to try a few. Tried 3, really flavorful but not too spicy. I asked her if she had anything hot. She gave me a bottle called the Ghost Cap. I tried it, for the first few seconds nothing happened.
Then it hit me. My face started to sweat, my cheeks were tingling. I had to sit down. I happened to have a large slushy rum drink in my hand and finished that in about 3 minutes. It nearly ruined my day, I had to go back to the hotel and lay down for about an hour. It was so intense.
Needless to say, the hotel bathroom had no more towel racks after I was done in there.
^ My buddy made the mistake of taking a leak right after he handled dave's insanity sauce. They used to have bottles of it at Santa Fe Grill (that's where we first tried it). He went to the washroom and came out screaming at us that he needed help or he would have to go the ER. Staff came out with everything from ice water, milk, to finally ice cream which kind of helped. Apparently his junk was red for a day after. Strangely enough, Santa Fe Grill never had Dave's sauce on their hotsauce rack afterwards.

someone gave me a habanero pepper seed (or something like that) in grade 4 and told me it was a Tic Tac. Not pleasant. I'd punch that guy in the face if I saw him tomorrow.
One time I was measuring out some cayenne pepper for a recipe and decided that instead of washing the measuring spoon afterwards I would just hold it over the garbage can and blow it off. Worst. Idea. Ever.
Ended up blowing cayenne dust directly onto my eyeball. Had to run my eye under the faucet for a good 10 minutes before I was even able to open it. My eye was so bloodshot it turned purple for the next couple of hours.

After the Heritage Classic we all decided to go down to Julio's Barrio. I'm all about the free snacks at restaraunts so being half cut I wasn't about to turn down the free chips and salsa. After a few hearty mouthfuls I was heating up and figured that was too hot for my liking so politely asked the bartender if they had any mild salsa. The nice gent politely told me he would see what he could find. About 5 minutes later he came back with a bowl full of what looked like refried beans, I thought meh what the hell, i'm drunk, it's free and it doesn't look half bad.
One big scoop down the hole and the only words I could muster was "why is everything in this place so god d**n hot!" All my buddies new what I was about to eat and were watching intently as I piled that flaming concoction of hell down my throat. It wasn't so bad after about an hour but the next day was something else.
edit: It was the Nuclear Salsa and it was hot!

I think someone (one of your buddies) spiked your salsa - the salsa and beans at Julio's are not spicy at all.
The hottest dish I have ever had was a southeast asian dish that combined Belachan with dried Bhut Jolokia peppers. I used to think I'm awesome when it comes to spicy food, being raised in SEA and all, but this dish made me drink gallons of water. At one point I just stuck my mouth under cold water for 30 mins. The people that made it didn't seem to be too fazed by it.
Hottest thing was a plate of Bobby Wings from a restaurant called Wings from a chain in the GVR. They claim to be the hottest wings in Canada.
Lots of videos on Youtube off people eating them and going nuts.
Personally, I was drinking beer with mine. At the end I was basically chugging beer to get rid of the intense pain. By the time I'd cooled down, I had noticed that I'd chugged about a pitcher and a half of beer. I stood up totally smashed after drinking a pitcher and a half in about 15 minutes. My mouth was probably burning for the next 2 hours, but I'd managed to dull my senses with the beer so didn't notice.
Also had level 10 spiciness from the Noodle Box. Basically just a plate of chili paste.

That stuff is killer! I had it the first time I went there and made the mistake of eating too much of it on my first bite. Ruined my meal. So the next time I asked for 1 level lower (which was the 2nd hottest they had) and it was a night and day difference.
