I can't stand people who talk too loud either, even though they may not be a bad person. I just don't want to HEAR them. LOL

I hate squeaky hinges on a door (I'm the only one who hears this sort of thing), doors slamming, toddlers running & screaming, high heels clicking, leaf blowers, garbage & delivery trucks like UPS (I know they won't be there long, but they are SO NOISY!!!) One time someone was printing all day in this office I volunteer at, and I had to work in a different cubicle cause the printer was next to me. The sound of those wheels or rollers going constantly made me feel like I was going to have a breakdown.

One time there was something rattling around in my trunk. I couldn't wait till I got to my destination to check it out. I had to pull over and look. No way could I drive like that.

I KNOW I must be one of these people born this way, but it seems to get worse as I get older for some reason. Yet, there are some sounds I can easily tune out; others I cannot no matter what. Of course the sounds I cannot tune out are the most aggravating to me.

Sorry, Aries..I love the sound of crickets singing, though I am phobic of insects in general. I mean, crickets are ugly & scary looking, so I'd probably kill it if it was in my apartment. LOL

A couple of nights ago, someone on the third floor was taking a shower (2 floors above me). I had to wait until they are DONE with their #$%&*! shower cause I KNEW the noise of the sudden force of water when they finally SHUT IT OFF will startle me AWAKE anyway. This was late too, around midnight. Late for ME....
Thanks for this!
