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!

Chalky foods (merengues, smartie candies, antacids, etc). I also hate the sound of chalk being used. It makes my teeth hurt.

Blue LEDs that aren't properly balanced (they give me migraines)

Electricity whining (I can hear this almost anywhere inside)

Dense fleeces (they make me itchy regardless of material)

Turtlenecks (I feel like I am choking)

Dyson hand dryers.

How something so loud can be installed in public without hearing protection beats me.

I guess you could say extreme temperatures, sitting/laying in regular poses, not being dry, and the feeling of dressing up too much.

  • Wooden spoons

  • Unglazed ceramic

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

Wearing latex gloves.

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Mask those sounds with music or some banal tv while either of you eat. It's been a lifesaver for me.

  • 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

If someone has the TV volume too high, I cannot focus on anything else

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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.

A plastic disposable straw in a plastic disposable lid. The sound hurts my teeth.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

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.
