I was sitting here with my co-workers a few ago and we were talking about noises or sounds that they just can't stand to hear... One of my co-workers said she can't stand to hear someone biting on spoons or utensils, it's something about that metal sound..lol The other one said she don't like to hear the scratching of a chalk board, she said it makes her want to grind her teeth... Myself, I can't stand to hear someone tear foam boxes up or regular card board boxes...I will run out the room or close my ears, It the worst sound to me...lol When you think about it, what are some of the things that just simply gets you to grinding your teeth or just plain irritating when you hear that sound? Please share any stories you have...

I agree, the sound of styrofoam is disgusting, it makes me physically ill. And practically everything is packed in it. I have to get my boyfriend to unpack and dispose it.

I can't stand to hear: People eating with their mouths open (smacking sounds) People sucking sauce off their fingers (smacking sounds) People biting their fork or spoon People blowing their noses The cat or dog vomiting As you can probably guess, I have a hard time sitting at the table eating with others. I do best in a loud restaurant where the music and chatter drowns out the eating noises.

Yes,I used to grind my teeth when someone scratched on the chalkboard.I can't stand the sound chalk makes on a slate either.And one more that I don't like is the ticking of a clock when I am trying to sleep ,that's why I changed to digital clock. The other one I like to stay away from is a driller on the wall,but that's better than nails on the blackboard.

heheeh Trimming their toenails..lol. WOW..I would stay away also.. With the boxes it's moreso they are tearin it apart instead of just throwing it away, Like moving boxes..I don't like the sound at all...or the white foam that comes in the boxes say like televisions, I don't like that either

I can't stand the sound of someone grinding their teeth. It actually makes my teeth hurt and if they don't stop I have to leave the room.

This reminds me of our neighbor's dogs. They actually have 5 dogs that when one starts barking the other 4 followed barking. Those are real noise and I hate it when my 2 year old boy is having his nap time and their barking ruins everything. We already talked to the owners but they didn't react at all. We just have to live with it. right?

I just hate the sound of vomiting. If someone vomits, the sound itself makes me want to vomit also. Then, I cannot stand the sound of someone scratching of a chalk board and hearing the dentist's drill makes me so scared.

Teeth grinding.My youngest grandson does it and it actually makes me cringe to hear it.For my sister it's the sound of someone crumpling up a candy wrapper.Which totally doesn't bother me as I'm usually the one doing it.;p

The one that has always bugged me is the cinckly annoying sound of a potatoe chip bag. I used to always make my kids put their chips in bowls. That noise really drives me bonkers.
