What are some things which aggravate your senses? I'm speaking of those small, seemingly insignificant yet unbelievably distracting things which set you cringing for hours.
For myself, the list goes:
1) The touch of towels and kleenex upon my hands.
2) People standing behind me or watching me.
3) The human mouth and all that it contains. When watching "We Need to Talk about Kevin" the other day, I found myself covering my eyes for a good portion of the film due to the, in my opinion, superfluous mouth-close-ups.
4) A lot of movement all about. It is aggravating.
5) The feel of cotton-balls or tissue upon my front teeth. I've never had any reason to touch my teeth with either, but the thought revolts me.
Thanks for this!

I don't like feeling denim on my fingers, yet I wear jeans everyday.

I too hate that #3 thing in movies. It drives me nuts.

Children, even well-behaved ones. I feel like that makes me sound very cold, but I have just never been a kid person.
Hearing people chew. Omg, can't stand it.
Dry hands.
Oddly enough, too much sun. I like to have some cloudy days too.
Old peoples' yellow toenails...

Picking up something that has sticky or greasy fingermarks on it.
cup ring stains on books.
other people's cell phones.
People who 'vocalize' a sneeze, it's explosive enough, you don't have to yell ''Ah-Choo!'' at the top of your voice.
walking on sugar, that's been spilled on the floor.
Cheap, synthetic perfumes in candles.
The smell of rubber, it makes me feel really nauseous.
Dry skin catching on silky or fine fabrics.
Catching my hair in a broken fingernail.
