crisp packet being continuously rustled
someone chewing gum
sound of nail cutters as nails being cut
sniffing
leg/ankle/foot shaking
teeth grinding
humming
clock ticking
snoring
nail-biting
drink slurping
over-used words (umm..) mid sentence
pen clicking

all of the above have sent me into blood-boiling rages, my DH getting pretty pissed with me.

Try ear plugs and blackout specs.

I'm pretty oblivious to most of those but when DH makes mouth noises when he eats - slurp, chomp, saliva, chew, audible swallow I have to walk out the room. Of your list, possibly the pen clicking and the leg shaking might annoy me a little but not enough to use violence.

'to be honest with you'
'in all honesty'
'actually'
'do you know what?' grrr
people telling people on mn to get a divorce when they have just had a little row- and we have just 50% of the story!
lthers loudly talking on mobiles when in public
Hearing the Rhianna drumbeat via mp3 player headphones on public transport
hair dyed pink at the ends
purple rinse on 13 yr olds
people dressing inappropriately for church christenings (miniskirts and cleavage and platform stilettoes.
I could go

Blinker OP - I hope your DH is not the one doing this ALL at the same time - I would be mighty pissed off too Grin

I can't stand noisy eaters ! (except my dog)

My DH CHEWS cold drinks, he actually CHEWS them. How is that even possible???

Whoopydofoxpoo · 13/05/2012 19:12

CHEWS ? Ice crunching you mean or just liquid Confused

frankie4 · 13/05/2012 19:14

Doublecream - my dh does all of that list! But I can't wear earplugs and blackout specs all day! What to do??

He also eats backwards (eats everything with fork in right hand scooping food in)

numbum · 13/05/2012 19:17

No just liquid. It's like he gets a big mouthful of the stuff and then kind of swills it around his mouth but gnashes his teeth at the same time. It's make me twitchy just thinking about it!

susiedaisy · 13/05/2012 19:17

My exH used to chew ice cream and not the thick luxury one with bits in I mean bog standard supermarket soft scoop, used to piss me right off!!

Whoopydofoxpoo · 13/05/2012 19:21

Making me twitchy too !

Wingedharpy · 13/05/2012 19:23

Frankie, how can you eat "backwards"? Do you mean he starts with pudding and ends with a starter?

IAmBooyhoo · 13/05/2012 19:24

"clock ticking"

i read this wrong Blush

frankie4 · 13/05/2012 23:07

I mean fork is backwards ie. Clenches fork in hand with prongs facing inwards
