Noises that piss You off.

[itsthewordsmorethenanything]

Help settle a discussion between between me and my husband.
I think scraping your cutlery on your plate is the equivalent of licking your plate.. The foods gone, no need for all of the scraping to get every last morsel of food in your gob!
He thinks my intolerance to food noises is getting out of hand.
I will admit I've always been sensitive to people chewing/slurping but regardless I still believe scraping is bad table manners, anyone else, or am I really being unreasonable?

• For context we have had chicken salad for dinner, he had finished but was scraping mayonnaise left on the plate onto his fork.

That clicking noise the PS games controller makes. All summer long. Maddening. Ugh.

I can't stand it either OP. Eating, scraping and licking of knife. Husband used to lick his knife until I couldn't stand it anymore. He doesn't do it now.

I can't do drills. They properly upset me to the point of tears if I can't escape them. No idea why it's such a strong reaction.

People making that awful honking sound when they blow their nose. So common.

Modified cars

Motorbikes

Loud adverts

Noisy children

Drilling

Lots of stuff.

Emery boards
Fans

Both of them just set my teeth on edge. Emery boards particularly.

That made my stomach flip 😝

Hand dryers irritate me. And motor bikes

And this too yes

I run away from hand-dryers.

Chewing

magpies and seagulls

Spouses get more and more irritating as they age!

Dh slices his food like he is trying to cut through my lovely Denby plates, then the knife slips with the pressure and squeals across the plate.

I constantly need to tell him to eat with his mouth closed (might have something to do with the dental bridge he has but I still don't want to hear and see it!)

He walks across the hard floors in the house dragging his feet, so it is like a shuffle..........

He is heavy handed in the kitchen so oven, fridge doors sound like they are being slammed shut, or mugs put down on counter tops, by an angry person all the time.

He also.............breathes 🙈 really loudly while we are watching TV. Drives me nuts.

Other non-dh noises that I can't deal with is metal on metal, the worst is sharping kitchen knives, dh needs to do it with the kitchen door shut and I sit in the living room with my fingers in my ears until he is done.

I am sure I annoy him just as much!!!!! 🤣

Mum? That you?

Plate scraping!! My partner has started doing this. Scraping every morsel of food onto their knife and licking it. It’s disgusting!

Windchimes...

Chewing loudly or eating with their mouth open
eating any meat from a bone , just wrong

Noisy eating 👊🤬😤

That piercing scream that little kids do just for the sake of it is absolutely unbearable. Also kids doing a whiny voice.

Someone chewing gum is also an awful noise. Much worse than chewing actual food, for some reason.

Also - and this might be a somewhat niche noise nuisance - the noise the self-scan thing makes when you release it to start shopping in Sainsbury’s fucking enrages me.

Everything mentioned in this thread

Car alarms

Any noise that could be uninflected on the majority by the use of headphones.

Noisy eating
Sniffing
People loudly chewing gum
Dogs barking
Next door's kids who scream non-stop every minute they're outside - as if it's a constant daily competition to see who can scream the loudest. It's the kind of noise that goes right through you, but never mind all the neighbours as long as the little darlings can express themselves ... wtf happened to parenting?

ND here too, and I suspect I have misophonia too. I also have tinnitus.

I cannot abide (to the point of tears at times)

• repetitive noises eg dog yapping, clock ticking, windscreen wipers etc
• helicopters (I have PTSD from living in Belfast during the Troubles)
• blue light sirens (ditto above)
• loud unexpected noises (ditto above)
• people chewing, sniffing etc
• children shouting, whinging
• people tapping/ drumming on desk etc

Can you have a word with your da and tell him to stop it?

If you are not my dc, then I'm sure your mum will still appreciate it! 🤣

My sister used to bite wool in front of me and it makes a nasty squeaky sound, it used to make me cry and I still can bearly think about it!

Plate scraping
All chewing and slurping noises
Licking fingers
People who don't close their lips over crunchy foods - fine that I will her some crunch, not fine that I hear it echo around your gob as you take a bite. Also don't throw crisps into your mouth from several inches way
Whistling, usually old men in supermarkets
Tinny music from headphones especially repetitive bass
Phone clicks
Gulping drinks
Anyone saying "ah" after a drink
Sniffing
People who don't pick up their feet when they walk
Gum popping
Dogs licking themselves
Dry feet rubbing together
Drunken hooting in pub gardens
Giant unnecessary man sneezes

Basically everyone can get in the bin

People (generally male) who are incapable of walking in sliders or flip flops without scuffing the heels LIFT YOUR BLOODY FEET!!

I know! I just shouted at my husband (hence the thread) The plates bloody empty.. Give it up!!
Glad I'm not the only one who feels this strongly.
Like others have said, the sniffing drives me insane too, we've been married for over 10 years and I swear this is all new behaviour. Although motorbikes never used to bother me and they do now, maybe it's me thats changed.
