Loud and dragging pallet jacks
People carelessly dropping or slamming pallets…like fucking why?
Loud advertisements, no I won’t buy your fucking product or subscribe!
Eating noises
I have so many. Here are some top ones:
- Grinding metal utensils on plates/teeth
- Stepping on something wet
- Motorcycles / purposefully loud exhaust mods
- Most mouth sounds in general
How do people manage to BITE a fork and drag it out? How do they not immediately blow their brains out afterwards?
The only thing worse for me is imagining the feeling of biting down on a damp popsicle stick and pulling it slowly out of your teeth.
I don’t like you
Idk it hurts my skeleton just thinking about it.
Children.
I’ve heard that this is instinctual. We have evolved to find crying and upset children intolerable because it motivates us to do something about it.
Children are also exceptional and figuring out how to push our buttons because they instinctively find and repeat behaviors that get a reaction out of their caregivers when they desire attention.
Unfortunately the most motivating emotions are often negative ones.
do something about it
eyes the knife drawer
- Loud conversations. If you need to speak loudly at the person right next to you, you need to get your hearing checked.
- Excessive perfume
- Bright headlights
My wife hates eating noises. I never used to notice them, but she complains a lot.
She also eats pretzels and chews ice all the time. Now it fucking annoys me.
Just stop eating, the both of you. Problem solved!
Mask those sounds with music or some banal tv while either of you eat. It’s been a lifesaver for me.

This is a specific thing called misophonia
If someone has the TV volume too high, I cannot focus on anything else
Thankfully, the family understands that I’m not anti-social. I just can’t sit in a room with the TV on and two grandchildren listening to iPads all at the same time.
I have plenty of tasks in my office or in the garage.
That was last night at the family gathering. Why was the tv volume on at all? Everyone was shouting to be heard over everyone else. The amount of questions directed at me and me not able to string two thoughts together to reply intelligently because someone turned it on some bakeoff marathon and then hid the effing remote.
This whole thread shoulda come with a trigger warning, lol

Wooden spoons

Unglazed ceramic

Synthetic fur / thermal fabric that stick just a little bit to the microscopic burrs on the tips of your fingers

The sound of styrofoam touching anything make my hair stand up. I hate the sound of a lot of fans and blowers so I wear noise canceling headphones when I can. In terms of touch, I loathe the feel of certain weaves of synthetic fabric. I don’t wear it but I have some blankets made of it so I handle those with gloves. (I bought them on accident.)
Music. It’s obnoxious
Dyson hand dryers.
How something so loud can be installed in public without hearing protection beats me.
Hand dryer, you say? Oh…
Pencil with the tip broken off on paper.
High pitched noises (CRT displays, dyson vacuums)
Sweating while wearing full clothing
Microfiber hand towels that don’t properly absorb water
That last one, wtf
A plastic disposable straw in a plastic disposable lid. The sound hurts my teeth.
I guess you could say extreme temperatures, sitting/laying in regular poses, not being dry, and the feeling of dressing up too much.
