I think the guys who let us do this are trying to "build character" or some such nonsense; happened to me, too, but in my case, the guy doing it was a WW2 combat infantry medic and a veteran, which somehow made it a little easier to take.

I have to admit that the misuse of the word "literally" is one of my favourite peeves to pet.
