    Your title says Erks my nerves... it really should just be. It really gets on my nerves, or it really irks me when... or even it really annoys me when...

    irks my nerves just... no. Things like this irk me beyone belief.


    And spelling errors in novels. I sent a letter to an editor once because of the novel I was reading, I included a copy with every spelling error and incorrect punctuation in the novel.

    When people have to post/comment more than once to get their point across! You're Point was well token,
    That seriously IRKS me. :wink:

    Oh there you are. Have you chosen colors yet?

    Right now I'm seeing lots of colors, but let me think about it. I really love purple! Like, maybe different shades of purple on eeeeverything. Whaddaya think?

    Purple is my favorite color. A nice deep purple. Or maybe that's the smoke talking to me. I could have a purple cummerbund and tie. Like this:

    Oooh, I like that! And I'll wear something like this:

    Misophonia, hurray!
    (Wikipedia) Misophonia, literally “hatred of sound”, is believed to be a neurological disorder characterized by negative experiences (anger, flight, hatred, disgust) triggered by specific sounds. The sounds can be loud or soft. The term was coined by American neuroscientists Pawel Jastreboff and Margaret Jastreboff and is often used interchangeably with the term selective sound sensitivity. Misophonia has not been classified as a discrete disorder in DSM-V-TR or ICD-10.

    ...

    People who have misophonia are most commonly angered, and even enraged, by common ambient sounds, such as other people clipping their nails, brushing teeth, eating, breathing, sniffing, talking, sneezing, yawning, walking, chewing gum, laughing, snoring, typing on a keyboard, whistling or coughing; certain consonants; or repetitive sounds. Some are also affected by visual stimuli, such as repetitive foot or body movements, fidgeting, or movement they observe out of the corners of their eyes. Intense anxiety and avoidant behavior may develop, which can lead to decreased socialization. Some people feel the compulsion to mimic what they hear or see. Mimicry is an automatic, non-conscious, and social phenomenon. It has a palliative aspect, making the sufferer feel better. The act of mimicry can elicit compassion and empathy, which ameliorates and lessens hostility, competition, and opposition. There is also a biological basis for how mimicry reduces the suffering from a trigger.

    I just had a massive laughing fit. The word after yawning. I read with an 'n' instead of an 'l'. Very funny when read unexpectedly!

    I react the same way when people say "conversate."
    IT'S "CONVERSE" DAMN IT!
    Ooh yeah, this would make me want to claw somebody's tongue out of his head if I heard it. What I do hear -- and oh my goodness, does it make me crazy -- are "remediate" (remedy) and "administrate" (administer). I'm a fairly low-key, laid-back person, truly, but these "words" prompt violent thoughts. And naturally, everyone in my office uses them on a daily basis. :explode:

    Typos here and there don't bother me (as an editor, I know you can't catch everything) but when a small press publishes a book, they really don't edit at all and it can be AWFUL. Really, really, really awful.

    Even worse is that all seven Harry Potter books are FULL of grammatical errors. Full of them.

    So are the Twilight books. ugh.

    Some of the small press books I've downloaded on Barnes and Noble are awful beyond awful..barely able to be read.

    I work at a college, and students are always having loud, animated phone calls( usually on speaker) in the restroom. YUCK! Yes, even while on the toilet! First of all, it's rude to engage in loud personal phone calls in public, secondly it kind of violates my privacy...yeah, now my 'business' can be heard on their speakerphone! If this relates to you: Please just quick say that you will call them back and HANG UP! It is a public R E S T R O O M and it is not an emergency !

    not to mention the things you're touching as you're touching your phone. GROSS.

    When you fall in love with a pair of shoes only to find they are no longer available in your size and are "end of line".

    :sad:

    YES!

    I have discovered though that a lot of times you can still order the shoes online when the stores are no longer carrying them. :bigsmile:

    Maybe if they're experiencing these sounds as "Common ambient sounds"... but if the sounds are out of context such as clipping nails, brushing teeth, loudly chewing gum, belching, at your desk at work, then they aren't ambient sounds, they're disgusting ones.

    This is a little different than the other complaints; however, I find that the "duck face" trend is what is going to cause me to become unglued. I just want to slap them when I see the pictures all over Facebook!!!!!!!!!!!

    HA, that reminds me of an episode of "How I met your mother", where they all complain about different annoying things each other does and Lilly sounds like she's eating food from ACE hardware haha...

    Me personally I have a few things that erk me, mostly when someone just stands or is eating with their mouth open breathing really hard like damn you alright?

    1) smacking or teeth chomping - I tell my family "I'm going to put u out to pasture"
    2) teeth hitting the fork - again I tell my family "god made lips use them"
    3) cut the meat on ur plate NOT the plate ugh
    4) scraping the yogurt container to the point the friction from the spoon going through the container is NOT going to make more magically appear... When it's gone it's gone

    Oh and finally...go get a flipping tissue and stop repeatedly sniffing!

    arrrrghhhhh! and peopole who call Ketchup "red sauce".......is that just a british thing?


    I once heard a guy in a cafe ask for some "tom ketch". After quelling the urge to smack him with a spoon on the back of the head, I asked, "who the hell is he and why do you only want some of him?"

    He didn't laugh.

    1) People who are actually in the middle of the turn, then they put the turn signal on.
    2) People who leave off the last "t", like you tried the ress, now try the bess.
    3) Folks who get to a restaurant order station with kids 5 and under, then they ask each kid what they want while I cool my heels.

    I could go on.
