Sat in a waiting room. Woman texting on other side of the room.

All I can hear is CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK.

Turn your bloody phone on silent. Aibu?

rustling of plastic bags irritates me more or constant text pings but yeah its annoying.

IWantMyHatBack · 13/03/2018 07:05

Unnecessary mouth noises

BanginChoons · 13/03/2018 07:06

My kids arguing in the back of the car.

Littlelambpeep · 13/03/2018 07:08

A colleague whining all day everyday

Snoring.

Fucking wide open mouth snoring.

I hate it.

I hate it so much.

Snoring is the most annoying sound ever and if my DP doesn't quit it, I am going to jam his vibrating toothbrush up his nose and turn it on high.

Teeth scraping against a fork and just loud eating in general!

ClaryFray · 13/03/2018 07:09

People that slurp when they drink tea. It makes me all stabby.

DH breathing all night when I haven't slept a wink

thenewaveragebear1983 · 13/03/2018 07:11

The phone buttons that sound like little cartoon bubble pop noises.

Sniffing/heavy breathing/ general drippy liquidy body noises

This is my personal hatred: when someone ‘double bites’ a sandwich, ie. takes two little bites instead of one normal one. The second bite is always really whiskery and wet sounding. My gran’s gentleman friend used to do it and even as a kid it gave me the rages!

JosephWearsNoPants · 13/03/2018 07:16

burping inwardly is horrible too.

JosephWearsNoPants · 13/03/2018 07:17

scraping fork against the plate to shovel the last bit of food. Angry

Alarm clock 😴

Kid's film being played on an iPad on a plane. With no headphones.

ASqueakingInTheShrubbery · 13/03/2018 07:20

FIL rubbing his fingernails together.

LanguidLobster · 13/03/2018 07:20

Roadworks/drilling. It has to be done but it rattles the entire house whilst it's going on

Sarsparella · 13/03/2018 07:21

The beep our car makes when DH never puts his seatbelt on straight away

Videos played on people’s phones without earphones, doesn’t matter what of, just makes me want to kill them

Yes to phone text beeps, why on earth do people not switch that off??

TonicAndTonic · 13/03/2018 07:22

Agree with PP about snoring - it's the most annoying sound ever!

Steaksauce · 13/03/2018 07:23

Sniffers.

I'm currently on a train and the guy opposite has the worlds biggest coffee, every time he has a sip he does a gasping "ah!" Sounds as he puts the cup back down.

I kind of want to kick up under the table by "mistake"
Gaspy fucker.

OwlBeBack · 13/03/2018 07:23

Windchimes.

There should be a law banning these or, to buy one, you should need to prove you live remotely with no neighbours within a 2 mile distance.

greenmagpie · 13/03/2018 07:23

Putting scaffolding together - that specific abrasive drilling sound.
The message alert sound on my mum's phone - like annoying little chimes - makes me feel murderous.
My 3 year old has perfected the tone of whining that drives me up the wall.

theninjabreadma · 13/03/2018 07:25

Sniffing. It makes me murderous.

MrsST · 13/03/2018 07:25

My kids whining constantly.
Snoring or any loud noise when I'm trying to sleep.
Also agree with loud texting in private/ quiet areas. Genuinely want to thump those people and if I could get away with it I would.
Boy racers going up and down our road (which has speed bumps on it!) in the middle of the night showing off their average engines.
Loud dance music coming from cars. This isn't Ibiza and you're not having a 1000 person rave in your tiny Renault Clio.
Teenagers swearing loudly outside my house on their walk home from school. I live in a really naice area as well!

Greenteandchives · 13/03/2018 07:25

The constant drilling, hammering, sawing and other shit that goes on round here where everyone is having a loft conversion. All day every day.

The phone buttons that sound like little cartoon bubble pop noises.

I bloody hate it, and my work phone does it. I want to stamp on the fucking phone every time I text or dial a number. When someone else uses their phone in the office, I want to grab and lob it out of the window.

I turned the keypad tone off for a while, and discovered that our work phones are so shite that it you have the tone off, it doesn't activate those automated switchboards. As that's a good 50% of my work calls, I turned it back on again. It seems like too much faff to turn it on every other time I need to make a call, and no-one else would bother.
