    pressing the keys.

    People who feel a keyboard is resisting them and that they must physically coerce the keys into performing.

    You know that one person in the office who has brought in their own ergonomical keyboard, and it's buttons are extra loud compared to the standard issue IT keyboard everyone else has. Them buttons noises are torture.

    The noise people make when eating grapes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 851 ✭✭✭kimokanto


    Hoover,kitchen extractor fan, traffic when walking near a fast/busy road. Car/house alarms. Grrrrrrrrr!

    I've said it before and I'll say it again - people who bite their fork when eating should have the fork shoved down their throat.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 819 ✭✭✭EDit


    People whistling (god I hate whistlers)
    Idling cars outside of my house (especially diesels)

    concentrically there's a guy in my Job who hammers the Keyboard out of it in a Thor like manner , i mean, the whole desk shakes when he types, maybe he thinks the harder he hits the button the more chance it will process. very annoying

    Washing machines, especially when they start the spin cycle, crisp bag rustlers in the cinema.

    I got shivers just reading that. It's almost a phobia at this point


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,300 ✭✭✭✭razorblunt


    I don't think I have a choice over these, but the noise really gets at me for some reason. It's like I can feel it in my teeth:

    1. Ice being scraped, freezer drawer, dragging a bag/box out of the freezer
    2. Cloth on fabric i.e. couches, if someone spills something and comes in with a wet cloth I'm out of there


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,454 ✭✭✭Dave_The_Sheep


    People slamming doors and toilet lids when I'm trying to take a nice peaceful **** in work does my head in.

    I've no problem with some poo sounds (though if it's runny or spluttery, seriously wait for the hand dryer to come on man) as that's what we're in there for, but let's keep the grunting to a minimum, yeah? You're not at home here.

    Drilling concrete. Kango, consaw, jackhammer, none of them bother me, but drilling concrete just makes me want to curl in a ball and die.

    Door opening and closing due to a draught coming from a window being left open.

    The one sound / noise I can't deal with is the awesomely loud cawing of crows in suburbia.

    They're at it from first light outside my window these days and it melts my brain.

    My wake-up alarm in the morning. :(

    +1 to whoever said Sarah Millican - her voice is extremely irritating. Add Andy Parsons too, another unbearable noise.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,469 ✭✭✭Olishi4


    If you fall asleep on the sofa and you suddenly become aware of the noise from the tv.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,738 ✭✭✭✭bodhrandude


    Hearing 'Alan, Alan, Steve, Steve!' at Electric Picnic festival when you are trying to get some shut eye in the very late hours.

    - A colleague THREE offices up from mine who constantly clears his throat, I mean every 30 seconds or so.
    - A colleague in office next to mine who takes all of his calls on speaker phone, walls are paper thin so it sounds like he is shouting in my face.
    - The children in the house next door who have racing competitions up and down their stairs every Sunday morning at about 8am (I think the parents encourage it so that they can have some Mummy and Daddy morning glory time)
    - People in the gym who constantly drop heavy weights from a 3 foot height
    - Ads on the telly that are about 150 decibels louder than the program I was watching
    - That ripping sound when the lady in the cubicle next you at the beauticians is having her doo-dah waxed - oh and the accompanying commentary from the beautician makes (just lift your leg, can you stretch your skin there please, can you roll over onto your knees etc. etc :eek: )
    - Ice-cream vans
    - Loud music from the neighbours garden when you are trying to relax in the garden during the summer (ah summer....remember that?)
    - The nest of birds living in my chimney breast


    So, you know, not many sounds that I'm irritated by ;)
