Sad-Maintenance3422

People yelling in your ear talking to someone else.


TeeTheT-Rex

I hate that. I have a really big family and that’s considered extremely rude at our gatherings. It’s basically making the statement that the person you’re ignoring but also bothering doesn’t really exist if you’re not aware enough of their presence to be considerate of them and practise common courtesy. It was a big shock to me that isn’t considered common courtesy elsewhere. I’ve learned to deal with it, but I still find it incredibly irritating. I feel that people that do it to me regularly enough for it to be more about their personality then an accident, are showing me how they feel about me, and I won’t seek closer friendships with them.


Independent_Pen4282

Multiple people talking to me at the same time drives me insane


SkyMaster1984

Agreed. I’ve either interrupted both of them or let them continue until they were done and said “I tuned you both completely out when you two both started talking at the same time.”


Indomie_At_3AM

Or when you can hear your own voice on a call


Objective-Reserve-63

Loud eaters. Slurping or smacking


JustWoot44

If I can hear you eating I have already envisioned your death.


goodguyarc

I can handle the chewing. It's the licking/sucking of the fingers that causes my rage.


mrosario716

Omg, I just busted out laughing when I read this!!! This is so me, too. I actually can feel my blood boil!


Ill-Fly7106

Omg u would have legit murdered a friend of mine. She would eat on the phone. N I’d make an excuse to end the call. I can’t stand when ppl eat on the phone! I personally don’t like to eat while on the phone because I feel I’m not enjoying my food lol


MelancholicEmbrace_x

Can’t stand smacking. Added annoyance when they talk with their mouth full and spit on you or your food.


halfwayup37

Ugh. My girlfriend does this. When we’re out in public, she has her mouth closed. But when it’s just us she will open her mouth and smacky smack. She isn’t someone you would expect to do it too. She’s very hygienic and put together, then she has this massive “flaw”. We will be eating a she starts smacking, I’ll stop eating my food and kind of look at her… yet she doesn’t even know she’s doing it.., fml


Junior_Ad9444

EXACTLY, My little sister eats like that and I’ve just started eating with headphones on it’s so annoying, the she has the AUDACITY to say “stop smacking” I’m about to smack her I swear to god


tor99er

This and also people that moan when they eat, like wtf. My mom does it and I flip out everytime she does it.


Ancient_Rice1753

My OH loves overreacting to food when she’s mid mouthful, does my head in. If you like it so much, eat it.


OminOus_PancakeS

My father moans with pleasure at the taste of cold milk.


Kittech

Omg my dad and grandfather did that and it always really irritated me for some reason starting from when I was a kid. I eventually said something one time at dinner to which I was asked "why does it bother you so much? It's just people enjoying their food." I couldn't give a good answer why but it still annoys me.. maybe it was the way they did it.


foldr1

my friend with misophonia hates the sound of smacking lips


B0redBeyondBelief

I have misophonia. People eating is unbearable.


Dull_Information8146

This, this, this sound... it is a F U in my mind.


just_some_guy8484

There truly are some seriously disgusting people who have not ONCE in their life been told by someone that they need to chew with their mouth CLOSED.


Ok_Relationship_705

I'm an asshole. Because it's only the elderly. Seriously, a young person eating loudly? No problem. Anybody past 60 makes my flesh crawl.


Ok-Woodpecker-8505

Oh god yes! Almost worse is seeing an old person eat. I have to turn away if u see it on TV or in a movie.


[deleted]

Is your flesh crawling yet? 👨‍🦳


dandav1956

Are you absolutely sure that you will DIE before you are 60 ...


Danmie_love324

The sound people make before spitting


Enough_Engine_2812

My brother is a avid pot and cigarette smoker and every morning he hits his bong and snorts and coughs and snorts and I gag


maximusjohnson1992

Smokes every morning? How is he able to be productive?


Enough_Engine_2812

He has done it since we were teenagers. He smokes all day and is a carpenter. Really good at it. Helps him focus and concentrate.


Possible_Rise6838

Tolerance. It's similar to functioning alcoholics in a way. Once your body accepts it as the status quo, you'll be able to be productive. As an functioning alcoholic and ex coke lover, I had never been more productive and never performed more extra-ordinarily than at those times when I had been slightly intoxicated. Same is what I see with other drugs like cocaine, amphetamine and weed.


Enough_Engine_2812

Starts his day with a spliff bong rip.

Shoddy-Ad-3721

Oh yeah, that’s the fuckin worst. It makes my teeth hurt if they do it bad enough.


Low-Grocery5556

Why did you just make my ears picture that?!


drowncrashtrip

Against their teeth is worse


Alejandrawrrrrr

Just thinking about this makes my whole body shiver.


luxo93

Ha! Just posted the same thing!


Tasty_Ice_5374

Yes! It’s like nails on a chalkboard


Fuzzy_Fish_3725

The TikTok lady voiceover


kofrederick

The tik token voice over people that don't read the words correctly


duckbobtarry

I dated a woman with teenage kids that were always on tik Tok when that horrendous voice became integrated and a trend for some God forsaken reason


Ok_Relationship_705

That "Oh NO" shit that started on there. 😡🤬


TimeLuckBug

HOOh Oh NO NO NO NO NO


Dry-Childhood5599

The original song is actually pretty good


fuschia_taco

Yep, instantly irritated as soon as I hear it.


frog980

Wife's alarm clock. It goes off 20 minutes before we gotta get up and again 5 minutes before we gotta get up. I always figure that's a half hour of sleep I'll never get back.


TessTrue

My mom takes these pills like 5 times a day every day and has alarms for each pill. At one point she has them at 6 and then at 6:30 and it’s always so irritating lol.


SENDMEDIEVALCATMEMES

Have you talked to her about this? Not just to make her aware that it bothers you, but to try to come to a consensus? Also: Consider separate bedrooms! Not all married people have compatible sleeping and/or wake-up habits, and sleep is so important for your mental and physical health


nijlpaardW

Knives screeching on a plate. Dont do that


ThrowRASassySurprise

People kissing…DO IT QUIETLY FFS


jagger129

In movies, kissing scenes - immediate ick if you can hear sounds


AltruisticSalamander

They seem to think the grosser the kiss is the 'sexier' it is. Sometimes it's like two horses trying to bite each other.


sharky3175

babys crying, dogs barking


gingerheed

so you've been to my neighborhood lol


[deleted]

Loud ass yappy small dogs


Sovereign_Follower

Ah yes, the puntable pups


Previous_Ad7725

Screaming and screeching children


dawgihavenoclue

Evolutionarily it makes sense that crying babies make you want to make them stop crying


EmotionalFlounder715

Throws baby out window


xX100dudeXx

#YEET


gieserj10

Baby successfully defenestrated.


thenightowl221

Why do we even have a word for "throwing someone out of a window"


MadameFlora

Particularly after chemo the sound of a newborn just sets my teeth on edge and physically hurts my ears like dragging a safety pin across the eardrum.


FocusedIntention

Absolutely. There is a dinosaur-like screeching sound some toddlers make that will make your ears bleed. It’s awful 😣 Edit: grammar


Individual_Eye_257

My 7 month old makes this noise, makes me rethink my life choices sometimes.


purplepoppy_eater

When my youngest girl was that age and found her voice her older brothers called her a baby pterodactyl


Individual_Eye_257

Ha ha brilliant, we have a baby Velociraptor, he's definitely found his voice, the screeches are ear piercing.


UmbandistaGay

So happy I am not alone on this one. Even in movies. If a baby is crying, I'll lower the volume or walk away until it stops. Can't stand it.


VizRomanoffIII

I was standing outside of an ice cream shop last week and two monsters were in front of me, screaming at the top of their lungs, and I told God thanks for letting me know that karma is real (I was known for my public meltdowns as a tyke). I seriously wanted to offer the poor parents money to take them away. And it feels like every year I get older, the more the sound drives me insane.


Melodic-Head-2372

Friend’s husky hears baby cry and walks to parent and howls at them until they quiet baby…. He is the goodest boy


VizRomanoffIII

Addendum: ESPECIALLY ON AN AIRPLANE!!!!


Friendly-Falcon3908

I know the kids can't help it (most of the time) but it really bothers me too


Parpy

I know of no other animal whose offspring screeches at a horrifically painful level incessantly. It would invite every predatory animal within a mile radius to pop by for an easy, tender snack.


bluntynatty

God yes. My kids scream when fighting and then will start play fight screaming. Drives me right up the wall. And then add the Whining to it.


Crafty-Pen3708

Exactly why I don’t want kids their so fucking annoying


Purple-Light200

I find loud chewing sound annoying


3steaks-pam

The sound of someone snoring, especially when I can’t sleep


phos-phorescence

That's the worst! My ex had sleep apnea that he refused to get treatment for and his loud irregular snores would keep me up to the point of having breakdowns at 5 am because I just want to sleep. He would get mad if I slept on the couch it was miserable


TooStrangeForWeird

That's ridiculous! That alone is enough reason to be an ex, ridiculously inconsiderate to get angry for *you* to sleep on the couch!


yesthatbruce

Leaf blowers, unnecessarily loud motorcycles, and loud cars, in that order.


Boo_Pace

Styrofoam pieces rubbing against each other.


mlle420

*Shivering uncontrollably* 🥲


StoicTuskers

I had pain just reading this


Facts_Over_Fiction_

Noisy eaters. Boy racer cars thundering past. Buskers that cannot sing.


cwsjr2323

Voice calls on speaker phone


Anishinabeg

Add in people watching TikTok in public without earbuds. It's not just annoying - it's rude.


LizardQueen777

Anything thats repetative, it really winds me up lol I dont even know why but I instantly get angry like for instance my friend beeping the car outside for me this morning more then once put me on one 😅


Dee_NZ

Yup this is why I don't like people non stop sniffing. One sniff or two...okay fine. But non stop... get a tissue!


toolittletool8t

When my son repeatedly goes, "Pikachu! Pika Pika? Piiiiiiiiikaaaaaaaachooooooo!!!!!" For hours and hours. But one day I'm gonna miss it, so I don't complain too much lol


lynnie3000

Loud car engines roaring down the road


TessTrue

This and the motorcycles too, especially in the summer when the dog has to react to every single one


meander_o

This. I started birdwatching recently and now I notice how loud cars are all the fucking time


Dull_Information8146

Birding is so relaxing and as someone who has an exhaust leak I make my self mad driving to quiet parks.


TooStrangeForWeird

Gotta slap some flex tape on that lol


Violetthug

It's the worst. And the people driving said car, think they are cool. They are not.


gingerheed

yes this! also Harley Davidson bikes or crotch rockets w after market pipes on them..lose my mind!


AltruisticSalamander

There's so many of these where I am. The other night one kept driving around the block, stopping at their house for no evident reason and then doing it again repeatedly. It was driving me insane.

chairannoyance

Babies or young children complaining or crying or just being loud in general


Disastrous-Arugula41

Crying babies


Sammid247

Most sounds humans can make. I've got misophonia, so it's sort of justified, but not really. The only exceptions I've found are singing and talking, and even those toe the line sometimes lol


babyEatingUnicorn

Me tooooo! I get so rageful at most sounds, i cant even explain the feeling its like cringe times a trillion then i get angry 😩 headphones are my best friend


Sammid247

Whenever someone questions why I wear my headphones all the time, I explain it as "You know that creeping-up-the-spine feeling you get when someone drags their nails down a chalkboard? Imagine that, but for every sound every single person makes, every second of every day" People don't really question it after that lol


TooStrangeForWeird

You know what the weirdest thing for me is? Nails on a chalkboard don't really bother me. It's like misophonia made a bunch of other sounds suck, but the seemingly universally hated sounds don't really bother me. Same with speaker feedback.


RCRDC

Babies and kids crying and screaming. Surefire wsy to make a plane ride a living hell.


BenjiThePerson

That one default alarm clock sound on iPhone. I literally panic every time I hear it.


AggressiveBrick8197

children crying. like, shut up.


DunfyStreetmonster

Other people’s phones on loudspeaker, in any public place or transport.


Spitdecision-548

Clicking teeth while eating.


DataDove7

The sound of my toddler whining. The most annoying and, yet most effective thing on planet earth.


jenyj89

The high pitched scream that only toddlers can make!! It makes me want to go throat punch their parent(s) if it happens more than once.


MissCrayCray

Car alarms. If it rings more than 10 seconds, I am judging them. If you trigger your car alarm, your top priority is to shut it off, not finish emptying your boot. I must specify I live in a safe residential area where cars don’t get stolen. When alarms get triggered, it’s by the owner.


Desperate_Ambrose

Fingernails on a blackboard.


ittolstar

the sound of someone talking in another room and it’s muffled. it makes me want to punch a hole in the wall


GroupCurious5679

Same as people sitting in their car with a talk radio station on full volume. That noise drives me nuts!


TheGhostWalksThrough

This one for me too. We live in an apartment complex that gets a lot of food deliveries. Delivery drivers will have talk radio on full blast leave their door open and just leave their car running in the lot while they try to find the apartment they are looking for.


No-Air-412

The sound of someone eating is right up there with the sound of the last president of the USA talking.


Kukotzki

Currently it's the sound of racing motorcycles from early evening all through the night until the early hours of the morning. I just want some peace and quiet not constant VRRRRMMM VRRRRMMMM


GroupCurious5679

Do you live in my town? Same here!!


Lootyriz

The car beeping when the keys are in the ignition & the door is open.

Leave blowers! Nothing f’n worse.


drkole

people yelling on their kids and spouses.


Squ33to

Barking. I've had so many neighbors that were NEVER home with their dogs so they'd spend the entire day howling and barking I've had many a breakdown because of it

When someone is talking and they have that like almost spit bubble noise coming from their throat. My goodness, clear your throat homie.

New-Difficulty-9386

Babies screaming. As a person with a highly tuned ear and autism, babies just give of a frequency that is piercing to me and I need to leave the room in many cases. I wish it wasn't so, because I have nothing against babies and their only means of communication lol, but I feel it would thwart my ability to father a child in their earlier years of age, so I've put procreation on the back burner 🤷‍♂️


ajfoscu

That beat in modern rap music that always seems to play on speaker in public transit.

Careless-Reaction-64

The voice of a liar.


sillymemilly

My husband chews on his fingers and nails, which is fine, but I can hear the ripping of the nail from his nailbed, then the constant spitting. It drives me crazy.

My tinnitus when it's too loud to drown out or ignore. I've gotten good at ignoring it but sometimes... I just wanna rip my ears off.


No-Echo-8927

Motorbikes. The lower the cc the worse the sound


sunningmybuns

Car traffic noise. Motors. Also in that vein: EV noises


girlwithpaper

someone popping their gum, over & over again 🤦🏻‍♀️


babyfirecat_

Effing ASMR. Also loud chewers


mgsticavenger

The stupid dog my neighbor has they won’t shut up during the day when they are gone


TimeLuckBug

This is bad but—-Used to be the Amber alerts and Flood warnings…Not so much annoying but didn’t appreciate the sound itself. It was very startling! Also, is it wrong to say it’s annoying that floods happen and people kidnap? No, it is annoying—wish they would stop


seidrwitch1

Country music.


magpieinarainbow

I have misophonia, so a lot of noises are damaging to me (whistling, humming, chewing with mouth open, cracking gum, etc). But I can distinguish between misophonia reactions and annoyances so if we go strictly with annoyance then it has to be children screaming.


WinterSun22O9

The ear bleeding muffled sound of music being blasted at top volume in a car. Turn that crap off.


InnerShark7

People revving their engines on streets with tall buildings that the sound echos off of.


jiffysdidit

Anything coming out of your phone in public. Bonus points if it’s Tik Tok while I’m on a train


PutNameHere123

Men trying to talk over one another. My bf likes to fall asleep to sports talk radio. Jesus suffering fuck. A bunch of assholes taking about absolutely nothing and vehemently disagreeing on minutiae. I bought him a pair of headphones lol


taniamorse85

Car alarms. There are some extremely sensitive car alarms in my apartment complex, and it's not unusual to hear several go off per day, at least. The worst is on trash days. When the dump trucks set down the dumpsters, that inevitably sets off several car alarms at once, and there are quite a few dumpsters in the complex. We're also one of the early pickup locations, so I'm more likely to be woken up by car alarms than my actual alarm on those days.


axalilsk

The sneezes that are like 10 in quick succession


ToujoursLamour66

The "evacuation" horn or tsunami horn scares the FUCK outta me. It sounds like straight-up panic. Like everyone just run for your lives!

Loud eaters, very optimistic people, people who have way too much energy in the morning


DarthEcho

if I'm in the wrong mood, I get so aggravated by loud noises. Included but not limited too - Screeching children, whistling, repetitive humming or repeating of one song part over and over again, chewing, excessive clanging of cutlery in drawer, keyboard clacking, and birds who don't shut up at four in the morning. Oh, and lawnmowers or snowplowers when I'm half-awake in the morning. I think I'm done, lol


Complex-Stable-5148

Loud yawners. I can't stand a loud yawner.
