Filling a cavity without anaesthesia. You walk in, you feel some pain, you're done. With anaesthesia (for your lower jaw) you're numb for a few hours and in my case, it never kicked in until after I was done anyway.
The worst thing is the nurse holding the drainage tube right next to my teeth, the air it draws makes them hurt from the cold, while the actual drilling/filling is just weird vibrations. To be fair though, I never had a cavity that went into the core where the nerves are. I'm sure my Doc would insist on anesthesia if that were the case.
The guy that did my wisdom teeth though... that man's a butcher. Fucker was so frugal with the anesthesia he had to give me two more doses during the operation while I was gargling my own blood.
Are you sure you're referring to anaesthesia? Or maybe local anaesthetic applied either as gel with a Q-tip or for the more powerful version via a syringe.
Man I tried that once, the dentist had started drilling before the anesthesia had kicked in. I learned that I'm a total baby when it comes to mouth pain.
Actually, it wasn't even the pain so much as the heat from the drill, it made me uncomfortably conscious that someone was grinding away bits of my teeth.
The anesthetic didn't work for me so she just went about scraping the nerve off until it was clean enough to fill; I was squirming in my seat with pain.

Local anaesthetic, yes, for some reason I've always had it via syringe. I'm a Norwegian so I'm not 100% fluent in English, unfortunately.
Lies. Last cavity I had filled the dentist didn't anaesthetize my mouth properly and I felt most of it.
Mt grandma always does dental stuff without anesthesia. People are always fascinated, but it's very normal for her.
Yep. I managed to impress a girl (not on purpose) once by saying I didn't take anaesthetics.

Are you fucking with me? That shit is painful!
