Okay, I don't know how to categorize this. I can't stand to listen to someone else brushing their teeth. Brushing mine doesn't bother me but hearing someone else does. It actually sends chills up my back and causes my back to collapse. I have to flip off of toothpaste commercials as soon as they come on. I've even found myself sitting in a stall in the bathroom at work and someone starts brushing their teeth at the sink. I half to cover my ears real tight so I can't hear it. So which is it?

    I'm not sure, I guess it's like me with people who eat with their mouths open, the sound and sight of it drives me INSANE!
    Question...

      Dentists don't bother me whatsoever, I'm pretty much impervious to preconceived pain. One time however, as I was gettin my teeth cleaned they had to shut down the ultrasonic cleaner because an old lady came in that had a pacemaker. So they started to scrape my teeth by hand.. I made them stop because I couldn't stand it.

        I can't stand to listen to someone file their nails...if someone is doing it, I have to actually leave the room...

          I rather enjoy chewing on tinfoil while scraping a fork across a chalkboard. It's better in wool underwear with cold raw egg in the toes of my shoes. Try it.

            STOP IT!
            UGH!
            Now I have this VERY annoing sensation all over my body, like I'm actually watching you in wool underwear chewing on tinfoil and srcaping a fork across a chalkboard!
            PLEASE don't do that again! ;-P

              OK... I'll replace it with something more pleasant.

              Imagine the sound...

                    ooooh... sand in your mouth... or sand in you eyes, VERY annoying!

                    that's reminds me...
                    one time my mom and bro and me went on a picnic right by lake Ontario, and my mom had just taken a bite out of her burger, and then she put it on the picnic table, and a seagel flew by and pooped right on top of us and the poop landed RIGHT where the bite was on the burger, since she felt it didn't touch her burger she ate it anyway ;-P

    I am with you on that one - I CAN'T stand to listen to someone else brush their teeth!! Here I thought I was deranged and it was just me! So glad I am not alone.

    Something else that bugs me is hearing other people chew - especially noisy things like chips!! Even with their mouth closed as they are chewing. That to me is like fingernails on a chalkboard! Especially when you are trying to watch a movie and you have someone sitting next to you eating like a cow. Another is when people crunch hard candy. Drives me insane and I have to walk away.
    Don't know what you would call it exactly?

      Hahaha... I was certain that I was the ONLY one on this planet with this problem. But smart money says that we are the only two.. heh

      I can't stand when people smack while they're eating. I use to have an assortment of candy in cube to lure people over. But my boss would come over and eat gummiy bears and chat with me. smack smack smack

      *SMACK*

    i cant stand hearing, seeing anything scratchy like nails on a chalkboard or brick, sand, but its weird because i grind my teeth and dont notice it while it bothers other people so much.
