    People talking excessively on a mobile phone in a public area!

    Phones that users feels that they need to have a sound while
    pressing the keys.

    Sound alerts on phone for emails / social media updates

    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.

    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

    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: 7,917 ✭✭✭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.

    I usually here it the second I sit down :(
