What kind of noise makes you crazy?

The buzz of rap music making a buick park ave shake the windows of my bedroom at 2:30 in the morning.

whining dog

Chomp chomp chomp on food especially on crunchy foods. I know I am extra sensative to that type of noise but still it absolutly drives me insane. There used to be a girl who worked at a desk next to me and she would sit and chomp on chips and nuts alllll day long and it drove me insane!

Cats mating in the alley.

ANY eating noises.

I now see why i get looked at like i am about to get shanked for eating funyuns

Talking...

Little yapping dogs

These are the top 2 things that drive me up the friggin wall.. not just crunching, but smacking noises of eating, too. I'm constantly getting on to my kids for chewing with their mouths open. I had been letting the little one slide, but he's starting to get to the age where he should be able to understand. The older boy I'm ready to pop upside the head every time he crunches/smacks since he's definitely old enough and I've been getting on to him about it for a couple of years now.

The sound of my sister chewing gum...it is the most awful sound in the world.

Because I am now old and have terminal grumpiness:

1. Wind chimes, gongs and other wind driven devices put up by near neighbors who don't care that OTHER people don't wanna hear that crap.

2. Mostly young, but not always, usually female, but not always, LOUD MOUTHED yappers coming home from bars at 2 am. (Bars here close at 2am, even on weekends, so the "yapping hour" is from about 1:30 to 2:30 am.)

3. High heels and flip flops on cement sidewalks or stairs.

4. Barking dogs, any size, shape or color. Or worse, dogs of any size, shape or color who INSIST on howling at every siren they hear.

5. Idiots with motorcycles that just CAN'T go a block without making SURE I hear them. It's so impressive, really. I'm proud of you.

6. For the complete list of 100 noises that drive me crazy, send $1.00 to the following address...

Balloons popping and air bombs mixed in with the pretty fireworks!

Ok, hate me...incessantly screaming children.

Honking horns because I'm pulled over out of respect for a funeral procession.

You're a true gentleman, PI. You don't see that much any more, especially up north.
