8 Irritating Noises That Drive You Insane

I don't know about you guys, but I have an unusual amount of pet peeves. I don't know if it is a problem or if there is just something wrong with me, but any sort of bodily noise or just annoying noises in general drive me legitimately crazy. Turns out IT'S A REAL THING. I googled it, because my family got really tired of me telling them to shut up or close their mouthes, and turns out its called misophonia, and I definitely have it.

Misophonia is literally the "hatred of sound" and you generally have strong negative feelings, thoughts, and physical reactions to specific sounds. If you are with me, these list of things will definitely remind you of somethings you wanted to jump out the window.

1. Chewing with your mouth open/ crunching loudly/ smacking.

This, right here, is hands down the worst, most aggravating one. This one really boils my blood. Something about the sounds the mouth can make is just... ugh let's stop talking about it.

2. The sound of a phone alarm during the day.


That sound is horrifying and brings back bad memories man.

3. Someone clicking their pen.


Can you please not.

4. Agressive typing.


People are so obnoxious I swear.

5. Rustling of papers/ opening of chip bags.


I'm gonna flip.

6. People tapping their feet/ shaking their legs.

I will not be able to concentrate on anything if I have to watch your leg shaking uncontrollable, please contain that.

7. Hummers/ whistlers


Don't you just kinda wanna hit that guy? La de da shut up.

8. Sniffles


Constantly want to hand the sniffling kid in class a tissue.


Well, if you're anything like me, just thinking about those 8 things drove you insane. It kinda sucks, I know, and you don't want to be rude to people and yell at them to stop. But you can at least think these things right? At least you now know that theres someone with ya...

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
