What sounds will make you cringe?
Metal on metal sounds when a driver's brakes are worn out.

my mother in law is fork or spoon tapper,

she has to move the food about on the plate a couple times before putting it in her mouth,


Taps and scrapes are fine. It's the nails on a chalkboard screech of a fork scraping a plate that makes my skin crawl.

My oldest daughter likes to chew ice, without the gum. Drives me crazy but nowhere near fork/plate screeching levels.

The patronizing request by an TV evangelist requesting I sow my seed in anticipation of a bountiful harvest. I desperately want to call them and explain that I sowed my seed during the teenage years and prayed to God afterward to NOT send me a harvest of VDs or pregnancies.

I believe he answered my prayers then and I sure am not gonna ask for future monetary harvests based on me sowing seeds with all those evangelistic predators. (Yeah, I know that I was probably a recipient of good luck during those years, rather than a Holy favor - but I want to believe that God spends some time watching over fools and little children and that about describes my teenage level. Confused)

Laying is bed or napping on the couch, in that between asleep and awake time, not quite out or in.

Suddenly the sound of a cat expelling a hairball brings you back to full awake status.

Squeaking shoes. Something about that frequency triggers a nerve in my ear that shoots pain down my side to my hip.

A two to five year old child having a meltdown in a grocery store and the parent just keeps shopping like it's not happening.

When I am in the operating room working on someone’s broken bone, and in the process of attempting repair I hear that distinct crack of the bone breaking further

lastmanstanding,
Watch the video Para posted on page 9 of the Minnesota Fraudthread. The constant talking over of everyone. That is borderline unbearable to me.

Big time. How something less than three feet tall can make so much noise continually amazes me.

That stupid "ping" people were using for text notifications on their Iphones a while back. It drives me crazy.

Squeaking sneakers during a basketball game

I can have it muted on TV (wife likes basketball) and I can still hear it in my head

The sound a wrist watch makes when it hits a tile floor face down.

Several years ago while in a jewelry store a friend manages, a customer dropped his watch on a tile floor, my wife said you should have seen the look on yours and our friend faces.
