your "fingernails on a chalkboard"

Post Reply New Topic

Anything dry and raspy-sounding.
Like the friction of someone's hands on the roof of a car.

Also. People screaming or talking loudly. I want to grab them by the shoulders and shake them.

I don't refuse, I'm just too damned lazy.
Plus, it irritates my uppity neighbors, which is actually a benefit.

Sweaty skin
Dripping faucets
Husband leaving the used cloth diaper sitting on top of the bucket or a used disposable diaper and wipe instead of putting it in the diaper champ.
Dry microfiber towels on my bare hands
Clanging metal
Shattered glass


Isn't being lazy the same as refusing by the way? After all you are too lazy to pick up your phone book so therefore you are refusing.

Polystyrene! D:

- Rubbing carpet... the thought makes me cringe... my room is all tile on the floor...

- The sound of voices being muffled through walls... voices in general alot of the time...

- Loud chewing and sniffling infuriates me

- Cutlery scratching on plates and bowls

To many more to mention

Aaaagh! I can't even think about that stuff going all squeaky!

Thanks auntblabby!

Other fingernails on the chalkboard scenarios would be:

- Constant low-pitch hum from mechanical equipment
- The Toyota car emblem
- Dirty dishes in a sink
- Slow drivers in the fast lane

what is it about this emblem that offends you?



you'd hate the hell outta me then, 'cause i'm a slob about such



you're preaching to the choir here

How abt Lil wayne's music?

Simple aesthetics, just don't like the way the emblem looks.
Also typically found on ugly cars, again subjective.
If you drive a Toyota, I hope I have not offended you.

What's the saying . . . hate the behavior, not the person.

Haha, yep. I think they should get tickets for obstructing the flow of traffic, lol.

For some reason I hate the emblem too

that has been known to actually happen in high-traffic parts of the country, like 1-5 in king county, WA and in washington DC/northern VA/southern MD with their beastly traffic, all places where intentional bottlenecks are frowned on.

babies crying. Like, I just want it to stop. I don't care how. My ears feel like they are bleeding.

Thing is, people get up me for even looking like that sound bothers me. I don't see why. Its a sound that we are biologically designed to find distressing. And when a child goes off like a car alarm the dumb pudding of its mother responds by doing nothing! She sits there, in the library, movie theatre r church service looking saintly, not caring that no-one else can concentrate on their reading/movie/sermon. Its like along with the baby brain new mothers get a lobotomy on that part of the brain that allows you to care remotely about anyone but themselves and their child.

*takes off rant hat*

ooooh I am so getting flamed for that one

It annoys me greatly when people say "hack" when they mean absolutely nothing of the sort.

for the benefit of the rest of us grammatical amateurs ["hacks"?], how would you have people use "hack" in a sentence or phrase?

Totally agree with you on that one. Babies should be picked up when they cry. There is one lady who comes to the shopping centre where I work. I can hear the baby 10 minutes before I see the lady and I always know it's her, she just never picks up the poor baby. It's so hard not to ask her if I can hold the baby to stop it crying.

Things that irritate me: drying wooden cooking utensils with a tea towel when they've been washed, popsicle sticks in my mouth, drinking iced coffee straight out of the carton (the cardboard on my mouth gives me the jitters), nail clippers (looking at them gives me a weird feeling in my teeth like the clippers are going to clip my teeth ) squeaky brakes, chains jingling, people slurping, people not washing their hands after they go to the toilet or before they touch food.
