    Finger clickers, knuckle crackers, the noise! Jesus H, the temptation in that moment to grab their wrists and smack their hands down on the desk! :mad:

    Can't be doing that though, I just picture it in my head :o

    it would have been better with camel casing (or camelCasing).

    My office looks out onto some fancy seaside apartments. If they have their curtains open I also have a lovely sea view :D

    Every day, an alarm goes off in one if the apartments. Every. Day.

    Usually it goes off after a while, but today it has been cutting through my brain for the past 3 hours. I am beginning to wonder how far a petrol bomb would travel when thrown.

    Are there any noises you regularly have to endure that may one day push you over the edge and turn you into a psychotic killer?

    Or is it just me?

    Former alarm installer / service engineer speaking ...... eventually your brain will pour through your nose , peace will follow soon afterwards .
    I'm pretty certain that's what happens.

    Does your co-worker moan about alarms by any chance?
    Or knuckle cracking?
    Or heavy nose breathing?

    :P

    There's a car on this estate that the alarm goes off on every day without fail. People have complained, the owners of the car are in the house like, but they don't seem bothered by it at all, won't sort it out till someone asks them :mad:

    Been there! Worse than listening to a jack hammer all day.

    Woe is me....ailment after ailment....if you only knew what this pain is like....they did it deliberately because it would annoy me......I have to do this or that.....the night I had with this sickness or that ache.....I need to go home because I don't feel well...my neighbours are so unkind to me....

    As soon as she left the room everybody gave a huge sigh of relief.

    It was a case of everybody out of step except our Johnny.

    Big cushioned closed ear headphones, noise cancelling ones are even better.

    I used to live in a place behind an electrical supply warehouse, the noise from the place was unreal. Truck engines and cages being thrown about the warehouse with the radio blasting over it all, all before dawn.
    One time on the Friday evening before a long weekend something, I never found out what it was, put out an extremely loud high pitched noise. I got very close to putting a brick through a window so someone would have to come and sort it.

    I wish I'd had noise cancelling headphones at the time.

    I couldn't listen to music while working, I'd end up singing along and forgetting what I was doing. Seriously, I'm so easily distra

    There are cats - sounds like many cats - who are either getting jiggy or getting skinned alive in the courtyard of my building about five or six days a month. Its torture.

    Don't get too excited yet, the amount of times the stupid external fire alarm goes off here for about an hour after you call the security company, and then he's just pulling off in the van and you're just about to sit down for a smoke...

    *beep beep beep beep beep...*

    Sweet Jesus! But luckily the security guy hears it too and comes back and fixes it, again! :pac:

    I've often been woken up by the sound of teenage girls going to school screaming so loudly that it sounds like they're being murdered and teenage males roaring like they're in a war zone. There are times where I've genuinely thought that someone was being beaten or raped in the street.

    There's an alarm goes off near me form time to time (no, not a personal alarm) that's quit annoying.

    But there's also a night club nearby and every Wednesday night, I think it must be student night or something, I can hear groups of people going "Chug, chug, chug, chug... yayyyyyyyyyy!" They also make a lot of noise getting into and out of taxis; it's not enough to just get in they have to shout instructions at all their friends while doing so.

    Its a fire alarm, and it starts when you sit down for a smoke....

    Hmm.

    Maybe it's his tinkle that makes her frontbum less than hygienic. Did you ever think of that, huh? Huh?

    Anyway, this is MY thread as it's a thread about sounds, not smells.

    I work with someone who breathes through their nose. Not an issue. It's this faint kinda whistling noise it makes that is going to cause me to disembowel him someday.

    Other people can't hear it or it doesn't bother them. I hear it. It sometimes causes my left eye to twitch.

    I work with someone who's left eye twitches all the time ... it really bugs me... if only I could breath properly then I could sort sort him out ...
