I don’t have a clock. But I can hear it.

[YicketyYackMamasBack]

I’m led awake.. subconsciously listening to the clock tick.. the clock that doesn’t exist because I don’t own a clock in my house. I use my phone to tell the time.

I don’t have a watch either.. well I have a Fitbit but it’s dead because I don’t actually exercise.

It’s the same sound I used to listen to at my grandmas house whenever I slept there as a child. Exactly the same noise. If I close my eyes I feel like I’m back in my grandmas spare bedroom trying to go to sleep in the big feather pillowed spare bed.

I can’t figure out where it is coming from. It’s driving me nuts.

The boiler? I am lying awake listening to our boiler intermittently ticking.

Good guess but the boiler is in the nursery and it’s coming from my bedroom I’m sure. It’s a very deep clock noise, like an old fashioned clock.

More of a tock than a tick.

So weird.

Your heartbeat?

A dripping tap? A radiator leak?

Not my heartbeat. Would be worried if it was.

There is a radiator in front of my bed. Hm. How would I know if it’s leaking? Do they physically leak.. like would I see it dripping?

Must be the radiator I had this last week was going nuts on my hands and knees trying to find the source 😂

Run.

Tick Tick Boom..

Are you my neighbour? Could be the breast pump.

Do you have epilepsy by any chance? I get the ticking noise sometimes at the onset of a seizure. Maybe best to get checked out by a doctor because there could be other neurological conditions or hearing issues with similar symptoms.

No epilepsy as far as I’m aware.

If it’s not your breast pump is could be mine!

I feel like contain hook is going to appear any minute.

I had a radiator develop a hole, I have laminate so you could see the water on the floor. Using fingers I found the hole but didn't see dripping.

I'd put toilet paper down so it's the length of the radiator plus a bit and then in the morning, propper morning, daylight have a look to see if it is wet.

I assume you don't have a replacement heart valve, if you did you would be used tot he ticking.

Woke up DP to ask him as it’s driving me nuts.

It’s rain dripping outside the window..

🤕

LOLI bet DP is really pleased you woke him for that.

PMSL

😂

You poor twit. You have me belly laughing away to myself here.
I read your OP before anyone replied and decided it was the occult involved so I wasn't getting involved lol

Haven’t been able to un-purse my lips yet.

What an idiot.. can I even blame it on the sleep deprivation?

My ex thought the new whistling kettle was the banshee if that's any consolation?

In his defence, he didn't know that the kettle whistled. And I did roar out to him MIKE - there's a banshee wailing. While he was on the loo. He came out of the toilet like a bullet with his trousers at his ankles. Bless him. He was easy to scare. He was a cunt, but I did have good fun scaring him.

Wishing I didn’t just google what a banshee is.

Terrifying!

You can absolutely blame it on sleep deprivation.

If you're not Irish you're safe from the banshee.

I was about to ask if it was rain dripping onto a windowsill but see you're way ahead!
The most irritating noise ever! We also have a drainpipe that i had to put a sponge in the bottom of for the same reason.

Ever notice scary movies have whistling kettles? Ye, well it's that sound. Add into that a gobshite who believes in ghosts and me pretending to be afraid and you have one idiot leaping out of the toilet like a ghost himself. I nearly creased myself for weeks after.

DontTellMeCalmDown

For how many generations? I had Irish great grandparents, am I safe?
