Other people clearing their throats constantly! Makes me ragey.
You?
-
Cracking knuckles or wiggling loose teeth
-
When LO grinds her teeth
When people slurp their drinks
When someone has the sniffles and refuses to blow their nose -
My husband's snoring. Particularly when I'm up in the middle of the night trying to feed Fia or rocking her after feeding (have to hold her upright for 20 min after she's done eating). And I'm sooo tired and he's laying there just snoring?! It's like he's showing off. lol.
-
When people bite/chew too loud-- like you can hear their teeth hitting each other. Unnecessary. (DH does this).
LO grinding her teeth.
-
LO grinding her teeth
When people drag their feet
Sandals that arent flip flops and flop when they walk. PICK UP YOUR DARN FEET -
Oh gosh... I have texture issues.
*People biting down on hard candy
*Erasing a chalkboard
*The noises styrofoam makes - the squeaks give me chills!
*Forks scraping plates or teeth -
@Mae: OMG I almost murdered DH in his snoring sleep when C was tiny. I restrained myself, barely, but did "gently" shove him so he'd stop snoring.
-
@grizz: ARGH your Styrofoam comment literally gave me the full body chills. That too.
-
When people suck on a popsicle stick after they are finished eating whatever is on it. Its making me shiver right now
Also squeezing balloons so they are about to pop
-
People that drag their feet.
Chewing with your mouth open and food slopping around
DH picking his nails -
@Foodnerd81: I feed her in a recliner across the room so I can't shake him (although I do always poke him and make him roll on his side when he snores while I'm in bed too). But I have thrown things at him before.
lol Especially right in the beginning when I was up every 3 hours nursing and he was just laying there snoring?! I keep threatening to sew a tennis ball into the back of his boxers so when he rolled on his back he'd have a ball in his ass and natural roll back onto his side... but that seems like a lot of effort haha
-
@Foodnerd81: I don't box my leftovers at restaurants that use styrofoam. I will just leave them. I can't handle that noise. I totally have misophonia lol

When people smack their gum! Ugh!
-
The sound of people spitting. UGHHHHH.
-
Hearing people chew, slurp, smack their food and drinks... I have to leave the room when the kids that I watch eat their lunch because it makes me very angry
I also can't stand people chewing ice, it gives me the chills and hurts my teeth!
-
Oh, and loogie hocking. I hear it a lot because I work at a hospital, and it makes me gag. Ugh! I could barely type that.
-
@grizz: Mine is a texture thing too. forks on teeth. Teeth on cloth. Please L, do not chew your clothing. PLEASE.

Slate did a run down of snoring remedies and a tennis ball sewed to the back of a tight t-shirt was the winner
Tennis ball, $2.50 for can of three
"The MacGyver remedy. Or, as I like to call it, fetching with Pavlov's dog. Put a tennis ball in a sock, and then safety pin the sock to the middle of the back of a T-shirt. When you sleep in this T-shirt, it's painful to sleep on your back, so you turn on your side, where you're less likely to snore. If you sleep with the sock enough, your sleep self will supposedly associate sleeping on your back with pain, and you won't need the T-shirt anymore.I'm not used to sleeping with a shirt on, so this—not to mention the heavy sock tugging at the back—took some getting used to. Also, it is surprisingly painful to have a Wilson jut into your back. But the remedy worked immediately. The morning after the first night, Elizabeth reported no snoring. I felt great, too. The second night, my deceitful sleep self did manage to outmaneuver the sock, swinging the tennis ball between my arm and side, allowing me to sleep on my back and snore. But the next day I adjusted the sock so that it was tighter against the shirt and could not be stretched out. For the rest of the trial, there was no snoring.
By the fifth night, I was attached to the ensemble. There was something ritualistic about putting the shirt on every night, and the thought of moving on to test another remedy made me sad. Elizabeth loved it, too. Improbably, she even found the get-up cute, which solidified this remedy's place as the clear winner."
-
The sound of peeing (mainly DH), and when people clip their nails.
Yes, I do both those things, but not in front of other people! -
Teeth pulling food off a fork. GAH! I'm shivering just thinking about it.
-
My co-worker slurping her food (ramen noodles and yogurt, every day), DH's snoring, and silverware scraping on a plate.
-
I'm the same with people clearing their throats.
And burping. I hate it!!
-
@lawbee11 I totally agree! Incessant sniffling, refusing to blow nose! Drives me crazy.
I once lived a year in a country where blowing your nose at the table was considered rude. The cuisine there is spicy, so I had to endure the sucking-up-snot noises all the dang time, and it made me so mad. My husband is from that country, so the sound doesn't phase him. I keep boxes of tissue all over and hand him one when he gets on my nerves.
I also have offered strangers my tissue pack on the subway when they're doing it. Sometimes they decline because they really don't mind sucking snot, apparently.
-
The neighbors kids. They are outside right now, and I'm about to shut the window again. I think they have extra kids staying with them or something, I can never tell who all lives there. One is screaming and crying. They play in our driveway, even though they have a huge backyard, and they leave their bikes and what not all over the place!
-
People eating apples. Just the thought of it gives me chills.
-
Loud chewing. Drives me bonkers!
-
@hotchildinthecity: Yes!
@lawbee11: gah-just blow your nose!!
@Smurfette: @cheert16: yes, pick up your feet!!!
@Iced Tea: lol, love that!I totally have the shivers thinking about these things.
-
Popping/cracking knuckles. *shudder*
-
dragging feet... it is so infuriating.
also... when i can hear music through headphones... but like not loud enough to make it out. people get a lot of dirty looks from me on the subway. -
My teething daughter chewing on Sophie the giraffe! The squeaking is making me insane.
-
Nails on an emery board. OMG cannot handle. No mani/pedis for me!
-
When you go to write with a mechanical pencil and the lead isn't pushed out and it scrapes against the paper. OMG it makes me cringe just thinking about it. Ugh
Same with a pen that isn't clicked open. -
@Danizaur: ugh the sound of the pen scratching on paper makes me want to throw up.
Anything/anyone touching my collarbone.
Sound of a knife scraping against a plate. Uggggggh. -
My MIL's voice when she talks to B. Seriously it's horrible, so high pitched and whiney. Makes me shudder just thinking about it.
The feel and sound of cotton balls. I can't touch them for the life of me. When they come stuffed in the medicine containers... yikes, I have to get someone else to take them out for me.
-
When people go "huh!" intermittently while someone is talking for no reason. Just to make it evident they're "listening". Ugh!!
Chewing ice is another one for me.
@Mae: I totally feel ya girl!! THE FRUSTRATION!!! ARG!!!!!
@pinkcupcake: Yes to knife scraping against plate! Eek!
-
@MrsB2012: argh cotton balls! When pieces of it get stuck on your hands and the ball tears apart... shivers!
-
Lots of tapping or the nervous leg shake under the table, especially while eating. Repetitive noises in general.
When people have a "filler word" when they cant finish a thought. My Uncles is duh duh duh, like etc etc etc. Just stop talking and pull your thoughts together.
When I run out of eraser on mechanical pencils and it makes that awful noise.
When people don't know how to play vinyl records but still give it a go at my house and scratch my records.
-
@grizz: @Foodnerd81: This is similar, I hate the sound of cardboard on styrofoam. I run away when one of us has to open a box with tight fitting styrofoam inside.
-
@grizz: I swear I have that too!
I can't listen to anyone chew anything with getting ragey. My boss will stand behind me and look at something on my computer while chewing something, I have to fight the urge to say something really hard!
lol Especially right in the beginning when I was up every 3 hours nursing and he was just laying there snoring?! I keep threatening to sew a tennis ball into the back of his boxers so when he rolled on his back he'd have a ball in his ass and natural roll back onto his side... but that seems like a lot of effort haha
