What are sounds/noises ect that you absolutely cannot stand??

Mine are:

Hacking coughs
Screaming kids (ok rents...do you have ANY idea how much that makes one's ears itch?)...guess they don't care much.

This time of year, get it all the time. Smokers hack is the WORST. The um, lady down the hall coughs so much that she starts gagging, and retches on the way to the bathroom to throw up....disgusting! So sick of listening to her...can't even hear the people I'm on the phone with when she gets at it.

    Repetitive noises, like one person clapping for no reason (my brother used to do this to me all the time just to irritate me). Also, I cannot deal with bass that is too loud. I used to play keyboard in a band, and the bass speaker was right behind me. It would literally make me nauseous, made me feel like my insides were shaking.

    Can't stand the SOUND of someone chewing with their mouth open. The smacking makes me want to gag.

    My 4-year-old whining.

    My almost 2-year-old calling for me at 2A.M. and waking me from my Nyquil slumber.

    Sitting next to someone in the cinema who eats popcorn and crisps loudly.
    People clicking their pens when they're on the phone at work. Drives me bonkers.
    People chewing gum with their mouths open. YUCK!
    Really high pitch noises, they hurt my ears (No, I'm not a dog).

    Chewing gum, especially if the offender's mouth is open.

    Now, I am not a violent person. Far from it. I abhor violence. But that sound makes me want to punch kittens.

    The sound people make when they smack their lips together, for instance, licking the cheeto shiz off their fingers. :sick: :sick:

    The sound of chewing with their mouth open, or smacking their gum.:noway: :noway: :noway:

    And the absolute worst... screaming children. Like, snotty spoiled brats who shriek until mommy buys them that cereal with the goddamn cartoon character on it. Makes my blood boil. :explode: :explode: :explode: :explode:

    Slurping / chugging drinks. You know, that glup glup glugg glugg sound. It makes me cringe every time!! There's an ad on the radio for coffee here in Perth, and at the end the lady takes a big slurp and it almost makes me sick. :sick: GROSS!

    Slurping or chewing noises (like someone eating breakfast in a sloppy manner) right after I've woken up. Also, television news or talk radio being on in the morning right after I've woken up. I hate obnoxious and/or loud noises first thing in the morning. I can tolerate those kinds of sounds during the rest of my day, but my patience for annoying things is near zero in the morning.

    Also, sorry to all the country music fans, but I feel like I need a tranquilizer to be around that stuff. It makes me feel like going crazy on people. The longer I listen to it, the more irritated I become. I'm not a violent person, but it makes me wanna punch things. :explode: I usually just leave the area (wherever it is) when I hear that crap come on. (I guess everyone's got their own special kind of crazy...)

    beeping... incessant beeping. One day my neighbor left her very loud alarm clock on for 10 hours straight.

    Basketballs bouncing on concrete (outside of a gym or playground... like in front of my apartment at 7am)

    honking car horns (only applicable if the horn is honked because you are too worthless to walk to the door or text and/or it's after midnight)

    obnoxiously loud music in your car that sounds bad (shakes windows, etc) when you are driving through a neighborhood

    Wow... I think I have something against my neighbors' noises...

    When people snort their snot back up... :grumble: My grandma told me when I was around 5 years old, that the snot goes into the back of your throat, and it grossed me out ever since.

    Also, the way some people eat, and they're literally snorting and making "Nom" noises. It's really gross.

    Lol, totally this.
    And for some odd reason the sound of someone pouring juice/pop/beer/water into a glass loudly irritates the crap out of me.
    And forks scraping on teeth. Shivers.

    Most sounds don't bother me at all. I'm REALLY good at tuning stuff out. EXCEPT for scratching skin. I can not stand it. Scratching clothes, fine, but nails on the skin grosses me out.

    the sound of a parent (let's be honest, it is mostly Moms i am talking about) who ask Little Billy:
    "what do you want?...do you want a pumpkin muffin??....do you want a blueberry muffin??......do you want a crossiant..?...no? - just tell Mommy what you want.....do you want a lemon muffin...?....a chocolate muffin..?!"

    makes me want to rip someone's uterus out.

    The sound of people picking at their fingernails and when people chew gum loudly (like smack it loudly without closing their mouth). Oh, and when people drag their eating utensil across their teeth. It makes me twitch. Haha

    Chewing anything crunchy.

    I had a cubicle neighbor for a few months that would eat at her desk, and I don't know what she had (carrots?), but every time she bit down into whatever it was, it sounded like she broke her jaw and shattered her teeth. It gave me the creeps.
