Something that upsets you
I’m trying to decide whether to be serious or make a joke here. However, I just spotted that the prompt after the next one is very similar to this, so I’m going to go with funny instead.
One of my HUGEST pet peeves is annoying noises. It’s almost funny how much certain noises drive me insane. Scratching, sniffling, whispering especially, ticking… they drive me up the wall.
My sister had eczema when we were kids and we shared a bedroom. At night, I could hear her scratching her stomach and it kept me away. As an upperclassmen in high school, my bedroom was right next to the kitchen and there was something (to this day I don’t know what it was) that would emit this little, almost inaudible clicking noise some nights. I would stay up for hours searching for the source of this noise because it made me want to pull out my hair. My sophomore year in college, I was up writing a paper one night and someone’s car alarm started going off, which even for a minute annoys me. However, it proceeded to go off for the next eight hours. EIGHT HOURS. I got a terrible grade on that paper and I didn’t sleep at all that night. I was plotting ways to find out who owned the car and graffiti her door or something equally juvenile. I was basically a zombie the next day. A very neurotic, nearly-insane zombie.
Whispering of any kind when I’m trying to read or sleep frustrates me. I’d rather they just talk in normal voices. Music when I’m trying to read or sleep also annoys me. I HATE the fridge buzz and I can’t stand the hum of a computer if I’m not using it. Noises are my thing…
