Irritating sounds

- Gulping
- People breathing when they have a cold
- People who smack their lips if they're eating a sweet
- Rustling in bags
- Taking too long to remove a crisp from a bag
- Weird clicks noises when breathing

The list goes on :v

my colleague next to me <--- everything that comes out his mouth annoys me

house alarm or smoke alarm going off
hoover when you're trying to sleep
toast suddenly popping up and frightening the ****e outta ya
loud music or telly in the morning
sound of a motorbike speeding past you, or a car speeding past your house
loud airgun sounds in the distance

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

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.

Thats why they made disabled toilets.

- 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

The sound of people eating repulses me to the core.

The cringe inducing noise that comes from my father's mouth while chewing can only be described as a horse trotting on a cobblestoned street.

Pig ignorant.

The sound of flip-flops in an office environment. I've no problem with them anywhere else but they have no place in an office.

Neighbours alarm going off when your trying to sleep. Utter bastards.

MOTHER****ING BIRDSONG

Feet dragging on the floor, sniffling, people humming beside me when working or people counting under their breath. The other day someone had a calculator on a wooden table when I was studying just across from them "BASH" "BASH" "BASH" just put it on a bloody book!!
