I can't stand the sound of people brushing their teeth... if the wife is in the bathroom with me, or I see an advert come on the tv or people are brushing their teeth in a tv program... I have to leave the room as quickly as bloody possible... it send chills all up my body.

Oh! I understand completely! Actually my BIL. Keeps a toothbrush by his seat in the living room and instead of going into the bathroom to brush his teeth, he actually does it in the living room. I'm not sure whether it's just so disgusting to me or it's the noise, but it drives me up the wall!
FYI. There is an on-line support group on yahoo for this, ran by the two people who identified it. I just joined.
