People at the grocery store (or any store) talking loud on their cell phone while you are trying to think about what to purchase.

Many sounds get to me. The obvious would be scraping on a chalkboard type noises. I do not like high pitched voices or voices like Fran Dreshers. I don't like any noise that just goes on and on. When a person or child just keeps saying the same thing over and over or makes a noise over and over, or a dog that keeps barking or whining etc.

Skateboarders!!!!!!!!!!!!  Not just the sound, but the fact that the sound is going to set off my psychotic dog, who is then going to run back and forth between me and the glass slider, barking insanely and loudly at me, then throwing herself against the door and trying the scratch her way through the glass, until I get up and let her out on the deck, so she can bark insanely and loudly at the skateboarder, who is by then halfway across town. Then the snotty little mutt trots back in, feeling very self-important because she has once again saved her mommy from the evil skateboarding teenage menace!
I live next to a high school. Spring is coming. More skateboarding. Windows and doors open to let the air in. Dog scratching on screen door until it's in shreds and I have to pay for a new one, and it goes on my rental history. I'm stuck in this apartment forever because no one else will ever rent to me because I have a destructive dog. So it's this dreary flat, or homelessness, doomed to wander the streets, eating what varmints my useless dog manages to kill, and bathing in the drinking fountain in the park. Until I get arrested for bathing in public, and then I'll go to jail and the stoopid dog will get tossed back into the shelter, which is actually what she deserves for being so damn psychotic.
Welcome to my logic. What was the question?

Um... have you ever tried dog obedience school? It can help! Better yet, you can pick up The Dog Whisper's DVD and try training the dog yourself.
Your dog can't be happy with it's quirks either.
I feel sorry for your neighbors that have to listen to your dog barking too. |

Back on topic... we recently visited some friends who's next-door neighbor had young kids. The 45 minutes of listening to them play basketball next door made me glad I didn't live there!  |

I think you take things too seriously. That was an exercise in writing creatively, based only marginally in fact and mostly just expressing goofiness.
My dog is actually quite a sweetie, well adjusted considering the past she was rescued from, and quite happy, from the looks of her. She also is very well trained and knows the "quiet" command and obeys it.
Lighten up! |

The clicking of spring-loaded pens, or the tapping of pens. Especially on a conference table when I am *trying* to pay attention to the topic at hand. Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap. Clickclickclickclickclickclickclick. Makes me want to rip my hair out OR jump across the table and take the persons pen away. Maybe both.  |

Me, it's just the 'sound of silence'. Have to have a radio on or something to remind me that I'm not alone on this planet.

Guess it wasn't that "creative" was it.
