Usually I'm fine with hearing other people laugh. However, there are a few people who have a laugh that bothers me - though each of them sounds very different. For these people, listening to them laugh can be very irritating, and at worst physically painful. None of these people have ever laughed at me. They're not bad people, but I can't stand their laughter. Does anyone else experience this?

There are times when the laughter of others bothers me, and it is almost always because I do not believe the laughter is genuine. Apart from that, I enjoy the laughter of others because smiles can beget smiles.
