Whatever! Just stop! Pen clickers, lint pickers, lighter flickers, nail drummers, toe tappers. You’re driving me crazy this week! And if the guy across from me doesn’t stop making that stupid popping noise with his mouth, I’m going to scream! —Irritated beyond belief

  1. The guy who loves above me sits right over where my bed is and constantly drums his nails on some sort of hard surface. I feel for you, it drives me nuts!

  2. I have trouble sitting still so I am constantly moving something like mostly just moving my legs up and down. And I also can’t stop chewing hangnails 🙁 It’s icky I knowww but I don’t even realize I’m doing it until I feel pain…gosh I sound insane :)! So, sorry in advance to everyone, for all my annoying tendencies <3.

  3. OP, now just find someone with a chronic cough, plus a fat person with violent flatulence and your orchestra is complete. At least your’s would be more interesting than listening to Joel Plaskett. Hope you get an East Coast Music nomination.

  4. Repetitive singing/humming!
    My brother has a habit of singing just a small piece of a song over and over when we’re working
    waatin waa waa, waatin waa waa
    over and over
    or
    oo ee oo ah ah wing wang walla walla bing bang
    oo ee oo ah ah wing wang walla walla bang
    over and over
    or
    who let the dogs out
    woof woof woof woof
    over and over

    but the worst is when he doesn’t use any words but only sings the song saying,
    blah blah blah, blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah blah (Jingle Bells)
    It drives me nuts!

  5. I AM this prson at times. Only when I’m in a trance. I tap my nail to my teath…it drives everyone crazy!!

    Melectric… I loved your little rant there. too funny

  6. OP if you need some high-pitched sirens just ask sebastian to go, “Woop woop,” over and over again. His first job out of university was sitting on the roof of police cars and firetrucks when the sirens were broken. He was fired for thinking he was a real cop and trying to frisk married straight men.

  7. LOLZ – Frankie Howerd – the original “King Leer”
    Take care of your head Hugo, I’ll try to type softly. >; )

  8. I think the worst that gets to me…
    sucking and slurping when consuming fruit / lollipops.

    Drives me mad!
    though I make a ton of noises I’m sure…. always moving, cracking, tapping.

  9. Whistling, no matter how melodic, is nails on a chalkboard to me. But those who are simply pushing wind through their lips deserve to have them sewn shut.

  10. guilty as charged… just try getting away with popping bubble wrap in your office cubicle. That didn’t last very long 🙁
