People that increase their volume in order to speak over someone else.
I clench my fists in frustration over this! Rrrrr. |

Ticking clocks. I was staying at my parents' house and there was a ticking alarm clock in the guest bedroom. I had to take it down the hall, into the bathroom, and stow it in the closet because I can't stand ticking clocks or even the likelihood that I might hear a ticking clock (my mom was really confused when she found a clock in her bathroom closet).
When someone has a pencil without an eraser and accidentally tries to erase with it, and the metal part scrapes against the paper. I have to practically grab the pencil out of their hand. |

| Same as 9:02. Bugs. There is no reason for me to flip out and scream at something that cannot harm me. |

the metro seat thing is a good one. I hate when the train is practically empty, but the person who sat down next to me (when the train was crowded in DC) doesn't move to one of the six empty seats. Seems weird to me, to choose to sit next to someone when you don't have to. now if there's only one empty seat or it's one more stop, I don't care. but more than that - I want some breathing room. 
i hate the subscription cards in magazines. before i read my mags on the treadmill, i take all of those out, plus any coupons and all perfume pages because they make the magazine not lie flat. hard to read that way. there are certain songs that will come on the radio and my reaction is ACK and I change the station immediately. My two-year-old has started mimicking me saying ACK. i get really super creeped out by any insect with many legs, or any insect that comes AT you defensively instead of flying/hopping/walking away. Spiders? eek. Crickets? eek. Grasshoppers? Eek. I don't mind worms. No legs. the word "moist." ugh. |

| Along the same lines as the metro seat - bathroom stalls! If there are SIX open, why do you want seat 3 feet from me while I poop and pee?? |

| Mayonaise....it sickens me to touch a jar or packet of it. I am considering putting my child up for adoption since she announced that she LOVES ranch dressing. |

The sound of licking. I just lose it.
Examples are hearing my child lick an ice cream cone; my dog licking a rawhide; my cat licking her paws at the end of my bed while I'm trying to fall asleep. Oral sex, omg puke, NOT hot. |

Oh, that's a good one. I was just staying at a relative's house, and the baby was sleeping in the room with me. I didn't realize her dog was sleeping on the floor until sometime in the middle of the night when he started making that licky, lip-smacking noise. I thought I would die, or kill him. But of course, the baby's sleeping, so I can't yell - instead I was hissing, "STOP IT. OH MY GOD, CUT IT OUT." until I could take no more and shoved him out the door. |

Sniffling, snorting, coughing or anything mucus related.

People who let their kids scream or run in nice restaurants, or many places. No, it is not cute to me or anyone else paying for their meal.
Babies or small children at bars. Disturbing. As in "Sweet Home Alabama": "You have a baby! In a bar!" LOL Licking sound, ditto PP. People licking their fingers - WTF? People blowing their nose at the table in any restaurant. Again, WTF? People who take forever to spit out their story, going nowhere, then wonder why they have been interrupted. People who think your space is their space. |

I have a physical reaction to the singer "Kei$ha" (sp?) or whatever her name is...just the sound of her voice literally makes my skin crawl and I have to immediately turn the station. She is the only musician I can think of who I react to this way. |
