...and yes I realize that in all but one of those cases you're behind preflop.

A guy went crazy last night when this happened to him.
Early in the SnG, 10 players, Blinds 15-30, average stack 1000.
4 limpers. SB folds.
BB raises to 240.
EP calls, everyone else folds.
Pot 585.
Flop J J 7
BB bets 360. EP calls.
Turn 6
BB check, EP bets all-in. BB calls.
BB K K
EP J 2
River blank
BB is left with 300 chips and goes mental, criticises every play that EP does though the rest of the game. He manages to play his way back up to a good stack but goes out 6th when EP busts him, funnily enough with J2o. But he sticks around though as an observer continuing to berate EP until he goes out 4th.

I really hate dishing them out post-flop if I have made a bone headed play because I deserved to lose. It also reminds that for every one I dish out and choose to forget (don't we all?), I will receive one back that will bug me for days

Two options I hate the most are two you didn't put up there explicitly.
I can't stand losing in a dominating situation. It just burns me up, losing to chumps pushing too hard with A-crap while I sit back and stomp them with AK, AQ and the like, until the board brings that damn 4 for the umpteenth time, and yay! Fours take it down.
Either that or runners, for whatever reason in my mind, it just seems so much worse knowing they had to get 2 cards in a row to win it, not just spike one, which will happen now and again. Especially when you're nearing the money in the Stars 500k guaranteed and you checkraise all in with jacks on a 9 high board, only to get called by mid-pair sixes with one heart on the board, then see two more hearts roll on out... 
I'm not still bitter though.

In one of my more memorable bad beat situations, I was sitting in an MTT, fairly low on chips (about 1/2 average stack). Then suddenly in the BB I get dealt two lovely pocket aces. Button (an average stack) tries to put the squeeze on the blinds and raises, I just push, he calls and shows AK. I take it down.
Then next in the small blind, the same players now goes all in before me, I pick up AKs, think to myself that he is probably just on tilt, I call, he flips AA and I flop the straight, he doesn't improve. The odds of me winning there are pretty slim.
I actually felt kinda bad for him, in two hands we were both dealt the exact same premium cards, mine helped me gain a nice stack, his sent him flying out of the tourney.

Yah, nothing like pwning people postflop when youre all in with the worst hand.

wow, your post made me realize how much I hate bad beats in general. However I'm in agreement with Hurricane Ham. Like when I'm 90% or 95% to win the hand, and they get runner runner for a flush, or runner runner for trips to win I can't help but get pissed for a little while.

The thing that kills me are the runner, runner perfect cards.
For example, you have AJ against A6 and the flop comes A J 2. And they want to turn a 6 and river a 6. Yikes!

I runner-runnered a set of aces today. Villain was a horrible lag who played any ace till the bitter end and would even cap pre-flop with A2...urk. Well, he was running good, untill I limped from MP with the deadly JT. He raised from LP, 2 blinds called and I called.
Flop is..ahahaha...rag...AJ...The blinds check...I make my notorious fishy check move...he bets his precious three aces - but little does he know that the Ace of Clubs is a fickle mistress - and it folds to me...I most stupidly put the villain on another weak ace and therefore totally ignore the wisdom in the 'Winning Low Limit Holdem' and fishily call for a two pair with my kicker card lower than top pair on the board. The turn comes the harmless 9...once again in a most tight aggressive manner I check my dubious holding, and once again the villain fires a bullet...cleverly I call and behold the K falls on the river. Villain refuses to realize the truth...that for once it is HE who has been outdrawn so viciously...furiusly he bets...obviously making a feeble attempt to pretend he has the Q and some other meaningless ...but I do not fall for the bait...over the past streets I have been chasing my precious runner-runner...so I raise...and suddenly saddened wisdoms fills his eyes...and he calls his meager three aces and his eyes open to the wisdom of my superior and l33t skillz at the table.
Pwned!
Let's admit I got lucky...but lets just say I got revenge on of those guys who always call with their A3 to the river...hit their ace and take your KK down...and let us all admit...that good or bad play...justice was most certainly served today.

The worst bad beat is the one that sends you packing from a tourney.
I don't mind losing to an underair that flops a set, unless it's a huge raise, re-raise type of situation that they shouldn't be calling with 33 
Runner runners suck too, but aside from the one that knocks you out, I'd ahve to say my least favorite is the "dominated bad beat". Hero: AK Villain AJ: Flop JJA. Those are the ones that really get to me.

I think it's having AK or AQ and flop comes A, 3, 8 and your opponent, who called your 4xBB preflop raise, takes your stack with A3o.
-OR-
When you're all-in preflop with a dominating overpair i.e. KK vs 66 and instead of the 6 hitting, the board makes them a flush or straight.
-AND-
Of course, whenever your aces get cracked when you play them perfectly and get your money in on the flop when you have the best of it (set) only to have mister 84s call your all-in and catch his flush on the river.
(I'm not bitter either )

I must say that even in my relatively limited time of playing real poker, 3-4 years, that there is only three bad beats that I have never experienced. 1) Floping quads and losing to higher quads.
2) Losing a straight flush to a higher straight flush.
3) Losing quads to a straight flush
Other than that I've really experienced them all. So far there isn't one i've found on this site other than the above that I haven't had either in live or online play.

I've been on the straight flush side of this bad beat, but not the quads side, thank God.
