I can't be in the same room when someone is using a finger nail clipper can't even stand the sight of one. Wife does hers when I'm not home. That sharp clipping noise makes me leave the room every time. I use a scissors to trim mine followed by a nail file. Any sounds that just make you want to jam pencils in your ears?

The Little Drummer Boy.

If I make it to January 1 without hearing it more than a half dozen times I count myself lucky.

Vocal fry. I'll get up and walk out of the room.

An EV, when it's in reverse...Pathetically cringe-worthy!

Forks scraping on plates, has to be near #1 for me

When Pelosi or Schumer begin speaking. Cannot find mute button fast enough.

20+ teenage girls at a Christmas pajama party shrieking karaoke showtimes. My Klipschorns sound great, but my wife won’t let me drowned them out.

^^ 20+

I like opera, it made me tolerant of most noise.

My wife eating lol. Sounds like a cow chewing cud. Asian thing apparently.

Grinding gears. Makes me think of the cost and pain involved in a transmission replacement...

Fingernails on chalk board.

"All firearms in this case are 50% off!"

There goes my wallet.

Never heard that term before. After looking it up I'm still not quite understanding what it is.

I'll add the sound of someone else's phone. Not necessarily ringing or a text chime but people who stand in the grocery store or anywhere in public having a conversation on speaker phone. Or watching a video or playing a game without muting their phone. Just makes me want to punch them in the throat!

A lot!
Babies crying, women screaming, loud exhausts, high pitched exhausts. Chewing with your mouth open, monotone speech or close to it, people who talk constantly. Fingernails on a chalkboard don’t bother me at all.

Add young children screaming to that. Especially young female children. "Ear piercing" doesn't begin to describe it. Also, the voice of the new female late evening news anchor on the ABC station over in Boise. Ouch.

Liberals whining.

For years I would go watch the IHSA girl gymnastics state meet. My first date with my wife was there. I can no longer stand it. All the girls cheering their friends on. No thanks.

Coworkers congregating in the work room/kitchen next to my office and talking loud. Get your coffee and go to your office and sit down and shut up. Go meet in a conference room…
