Extremely annoying quests

All my D&D friends are gay, so they'd neither care to have 5 girls' numbers and probably wouldn't have any trouble getting them anyway.

Real girls, though.

oh oh.. errm. call our mothers?

I could make a joke here.

Quest: Get 5 girl's numbers.

That should annoy all D&D players.

We're all dating someone or married.

However, that does give me an idea.
"You are in a busy tavern where all sorts of adventurers come and go.  Your contact is here, somewhere. All you know for certain is that it's a woman.  The nature of her work also means you can't openly ask her if she is your contact. You must successfully charm women to get them to reveal their profession. Only then can you find her. "

Roleplaying seducing women with a group of guys sounds like massive fun.

3 guys and 1 girl.

Especially since the women being seduced are NPCs played by the DM.  Are you sure that you thought this through, Lorddave?

Maybe Dave just wants to feel like he's pretty.  There's nothing wrong with that.

One of your characters has a "weirdness magnet" spell cast on them.   Until they deal with it, "weirdness" is attracted to said person.

Travel is often overlooked as an intemediate quest, just have to play it out, day by day, distance traveled etc.  Each night with watches etc.

The point is to suspend disbelief.  Once you learn transcendental emersion, rpgs can be ridiculously awesome.  If they don't suspend disbelief, it will be appropriately awkward and hard for them.  They might even grow a bit ha.

But then you might successfully pick up a girl by saying "You know it's funny Saddam, that picture is from when my hair wasn't falling out.  Why would I get mad at it being posted?"

Then they'd take 1d12 charisma damage.

You find a contact who can help you on your quest. On the downside, he's an outcast from the town and won't agree to tell you anything until you get him reaccepted into the village.
The village is bitterly divided between two clans. If you convince someone from Clan A to accept him, someone will reject him from clan B out of spite. |However, everyone has up to three friends in the opposite clan, if their friend accepts him then the friend won’t reject him out of spite.

Your players are forced to map out the social web of the town and convince the right people in the right order to accept your outcast.

Have all the players trapped in a small cell, say they were locked up without good reason. Mention that there doesn't appear to be any obvious route of escape. There are 10 bricks of pitch black around the room, in the walls. They have to be pressed in the right order with proper intervals between each to open a secret passage. This can get annoying.
