On the radio here just now they have a phone in about what everyday noises really irritate people. Apparently there is a link between OCD and the extent to which noises get on your nerves. Things that were mentioned was the crunch of someone eating an apple, noisy eaters and slurpers and sneezing. All of these irritate me ( I don’t have OCD ), especially sneezing and another one is a chesty cough, probably a Covid thing, because if I hear someone coughing in a supermarket I shift aisles quickly and head off in the opposite direction ! I also can’t stand the noise of someone talking on the phone loudly.
What annoys you, if anything?
Oh, and dogs barking at night!
