People that needlessly amplify noise to show off

Post Reply New Topic

My stepdad makes an unbelievable amount of noise. He BANGS and SLAMS everything, he unnecessarily projects his voice (it's a very small, one-storey house, there is 0 reason to shout). He talks over dialogue in movies and tv shows, and he talks like a train with no stops (it is impossible to stop or actually converse with him). I would have a lot more energy to do things if I didn't have to burn all my spoons tolerating his noise.

you have exclusively wooden spoons?

then what will you use if you decide you want soup?

I'm usually very irritated by it. Somebody whistling drives me absolutely nuts. Then there's things like boots loudly clip-clopping on hard surfaces.

Guys just love doing that in public restrooms. They go after paper towel dispensers like they're trying to tear it off the wall.

People whom project needless noise in general are annoying. Gets me agitated.

Yes, one person in particular screams when they yawn. Screams. How that's even possible I don't know, but it's to draw attention to the fact that they're tired/going to bed. They keep doing it until someone comments, and if that comment is to tell them to keep quiet or ask why it is necessary to scream every time they yawn, the questioner gets accused of being "picky."
I don't have a good time with other people, or sound. The two together is just more annoying.

Same with my flatmate. Everything he does, he does it as loudly as possible, and I'm confident he doesn't even notice this (he's very nice and quiet otherwise). My cat is terrified of him because of this issue. When he's around, I almost always wear big headphones to block the noise.

I do get enraged with noise. It's just beyond me, and I cannot help it. It's much worse when I clearly see that there is no reason for it to be that way. For instance, my office mate types constantly on her keyboard as loud as physically possible, and whenever I get a glimpse from her screen, she's just chatting. The fact that the noise is being generated on a shared working environment, when she's actually not working, drives me nuts - I think I could tolerate it way better if she'd be actually writing something for work. I also become quite annoyed when the kid upstairs runs from one end of the room to another for 3h straight, because I simply cannot filter it out. Often I need to verbalise this rage somehow (good thing I can do this in Spanish and no one understands it).

I think that the rage is mostly connected with the view of the noise being unnecessary. I can deal much better with noise if I see that there's a reason to it.

When you're used to noise you kind of phase other noise out and it stops bothering you.
