    It grinds my gears.

    I really despise those that make that hizzing sort of sound through their teeth every now and again, tapping fingers is another one!

    Whistling. I want to drive my fist through the abdomen of those who whistle constantly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 133 ✭✭strokeslover


    It's so annoying, especially when I work in an office with multiple serial offenders!

    I whistle all the time :D It makes me happy. I'm horrible at singing and brilliant at whistling so I like to spare people the horror of listening to my voice :o

    Oh I can't stand it, bastards.
    At a movie the other night and this guy kept clearing his sinus by snorting.
    It sounded like like a pig being mounted by a man with a giant strap on.


    I lived next door to a perverted farmer, okay.

    Oh I know that feeling!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 162 ✭✭Lisandro


    Grunting/throat-clearing. I cannot think of a more vulgar and abrasive noise that could come from the vocal chords. I swear people who make that noise are the scum of the Earth.

    Oh, and don't get me started on people who click their fingers. Do you actually think I enjoy your loud, annoying broadcast of the fact you've discovered basic rhythm?

    Edit: And I especially hate people who chew with their mouths open for all to hear. Is it really too much to ask that you just eat your bloody food quietly like a normal person?

    I've been told that my snoring can be slightly irritating...

    Doesn't bother me though! :D

    The HOMNUH HOMNUH HOMNUH noise some people make when biting a few chunks out of an apple, followed by a gasp. Wrecks my head.

    Not necessarily a noise, but those who cant sit in silence for more than 30 seconds without talking or humming or something like that :mad:

    My dad eating drives me mad actually. Unnecessary lip smacking and finger licking. Led to a few arguments in me youth.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,641 ✭✭✭Teyla Emmagan


    Pen clickers. OMFG I want to get up, snatch it off them and drive it straight into their temple. Repetitive clicking noises drive me mental for some reason. They just induce psychosis in me, and I don't know why.

    Also people tapping their ring against the bars on the bus. I would like to garotte them.

    And anyone hawking to spit. I wouldn't make that noise in my own home, it just appalls me the amount of scummers who will do it on Grafton St.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,758 ✭✭✭✭TeddyTedson


    I work with a bloke who mumbles utter nonsense. You ask him something that should have a one sentence answer and you get several minutes of mumbling about who knows what he's saying.

    I usually assume he's talking to himself and walk away. (I think he actually is).


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,299 ✭✭✭✭later12


    I'm usually pretty relaxed about bodily noises, but I can't abide people scratching or rubbing their eyes, which produces this blood curdling squelchy noise; I'm also a bit squeamish about eyes.

    Tea slurping doesn't really bother me, but I don't understand why they do it. If it's too hot, why are you drinking it? You're only going to burn your tongue & be left without taste buds for the day.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,736 ✭✭✭Irish Guitarist


    The noise of someone hawking up phlegm followed by the slapping noise said phlegm makes as it hits the footpath.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 657 ✭✭✭optimistic_


    You all seem to have some real issues in your lives.

    Having said that, the noise of someone eating chewing gum with their mouth open is unforgiveable.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,295 ✭✭✭✭Duggy747


    Knew a lot of people who would come into the room and do this:

    That turns my stomach.. it's absolutely revolting. Also: I'm a pen clicker... bahahahaha.

    Used to work with a guy who would eat apples at his desk in a matter of seconds. It sounded like a horse was demolishing the apple...he'd just keep chomping away until the whole thing was gone *shudder*

    He was also asthmatic and seemed to have sinus problems...so the loud chomping was always accompanied by noisy breathing through his mouth between bites. CHOMP :pac:

    Chewing gum loudly - I pass them off as retarded.
    People who whistle - I always carry a brick in my pocket so I can smash there mush in.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30 fif


    OMFG
    people who chew chewing gum with mouth open

    people who listen to headphones at desk beside me in work and drum fingers constantly

    Slurping, belching, making noise with crisp packets, spitting popcorn kennels all over the place, licking chocolate from the finger tips (after taking ages to eat a chocolate bar), biting into tea cakes...

    ...I'm fussy, am I :D
