What sounds make your skin crawl?

[GRLMGC]

I can't stand the sound of styrofoam or cellophane. It REALLY bothers me.

[eyepaddle]

1. Fingernails on rough paper

well, MY fingernails on rough paper. I know the sound has something to do with it, but the feel might be a part as well.

[YankeyMCC]

2. styrofoam rubbing together

like on those cheap styrofoam coolers.

That and Bush's voice.

[bigwillq]

3. Fingernails on a chalkboard

when a utensil scratches a plate.

[GRLMGC]

4. Strangely enough

fingernails on a chalkboard doesn't bother me. It's that damn cellophane being crinkled. UGH! It bothers me even thinking about it

[bigwillq]

16. I kinda like that sound.

The cellophane that is! :)

[Left Is Write]

5. Utensils scraping on Corelle dishes.

[Ariana Celeste]

6. Most squeaky noises in general

bug the crap out of me

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

7. Rita Cosby's voice.

I lunge for the remote the minute her show comes on.

I also don't care much for the sound of crinkling aluminum foil, or the sound made by packing peanuts rubbing together (that styrofoamy sound), or clarinets, or most scrapy metallic noises.

9. gee-awd, you got that right...

[graywarrior]

10. Rita "Corleone" Cosby and Dimson speaking.

[uppityperson]

22. Mr.bush's voice for sure, eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

14. ditto

reading the thread title, I knew someone had to have put Ritas dread voice up. Can Not Stand It.

[bigwillq]

17. Oh yeah.

Annoying as fuck. :mad:

[reyd reid reed]

8. Silverware scraping on dishes wrong...

That makes that 'screeee' sound and whoever does it jumps because they're startled and so the sound gets louder for a split second and then stops...along with every other noise at the table.

Just makes my teeth hurt.

Someone twisting styrofoam (like they do when they're trying to get something packed in it out) gives me the willies, too.

[mitchum]

11. Someone tapping fork tines on teeth...and Rufus Wainwright's voice

[Dangerously Amused]

28. ANYONE biting down on/scraping ANY metal utensil while they eat.

If it is not too bad, I can suffer through it, but if it is really bad, I have to get up and leave. Actually sends chills down my spine. When I was a kid, I couldn't even stand to have metal utensils in my mouth. I REFUSED TO EAT unless the utensils were plastic.

12. the sound of lions waking in the early pre-dawn is a highly primordial...

sound that will make you stand in place, wide eyed for a moment or two until you may, hopefully, realize that the circus did come to town and you just hadn't been aware of it

:scared:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

13. I forgot about lions.

Years ago I lived near a city zoo, and sometimes, early in the morning, we could hear them going "WHOOORRF! WHOOORRF!" It was weird.

But I still would rather hear lions than Rita Cosby. I might even prefer to be EATEN by lions than listen to Rita Cosby.

[bridgit]

15. that is the very sound alright...and you are correct about the rest...

:rofl:

[MiniMandaRuth]

18. Someone rubbing a balloon.

:grr: :nuke: :mad:

edit to add angry smilies...

[reyd reid reed]

25. Oh, geeeeze....

That one's so bad I blocked it.

[0007]

19. David Spade

[no name no slogan]

20. Emo.

I can't stand that shit.

[GRLMGC]

21. I'll have to second that

How could I forget?

[hedgehog]

23. The sound of a cat hurking

A dog hurking is pretty bad too, but if you're licky, the othe dog will clean it up before you get a chance to.

[POed_Ex_Repub]

24. And of course the first thought that comes when you hear that...

Okay, where is he/she doing that? Carpet? Bed? My new jacket?

But it's better then when you don't hear it... First thing the morning, getting out of bed, walking to the kitchen barefoot and then *squish* between the toes.

Makes you think maybe the sound isn't so bad.

[no name no slogan]

26. "Head for the hardwood" is the phrase in my house

It's much easier to clean it off hardwood floors than it is to get it out of carpeting. YECHH!

[calico1]

27. Styrofoam, chalk on a blackboard,

an eating utensil against a plate (when it makes a scraping sound) George Bush talking.

[DS1]

29. Telephones ringing

unless i'm expecting them to
and want them to
