if the impression wasn't clear before...i hate my job!
my bosses fat gay brother, the loud, obnoxious one that sits in the big office right by my cube, got a new toy today...now before you go thinking pervy thoughts, it is not that kind of toy! he got some kind of stupid ass electrical windchime thing, which he set it up right inside the door to his office...and every so often it goes off!
at first i wasn't sure what it was, so i went on a walk to explore this new sound, and that was when i saw this contraption set up on a shelf in his office. every 1-2 minutes it goes off, chiming away merrily, slowly driving me fucking insane! after enough time had passed that my blood pressure started going up, i finally said something about it. i was rudely told that if it bothered me so much i could shut my ears?! shut my ears?! are you fucking kidding me?! nice...real nice. i am so angry right now i can't even begin to express my feelings appropriately. i had to take a walk away from my desk before i went into his office, pulled the damn thing out of the wall and threw it out the fucking window!
thankfully during my momentary absence the grammatically challenged co-worker, who is bff's with bosses brother, went into his office and unplugged it. she is out all next week, and i am serious if that damn thing starts chiming, things could get really ugly here...

I have soft-sound sensitivity (self-diagnosed) so I feel your pain. Sounds I HATE at work:
*gum snapping
*loud food or gum chewing
*TV turned barely audible so it's just a soft sound
*whispering
*talking to self
*whistling
There are more, but I can't think of them right now.
yep those are all super annoying as well! another good one is drink slurping...the intern that sits in the cube across from mine slurps everything he drinks...most days i sit at my desk waiting to hear him choke, just so i can laugh at him! ;-)
Deann I can't agree with you more! I also can't stand people who sing along to music softly (and out of tune) and also make it a point to mention that they can't sing but keep singing anyway... I mean, if your in the car or at home, even a friends house then it doesn't matter as much.
There's a line from a phish song that goes "resist all the urges that make you want to go out and kill"...I think of that often!
Next time the fat gay brother goes to the bathroom have an "OfficeSpace" moment with it, definitely involving baseball bats...
oh no, slurping....that is bad!
you all should give serious thought to starting some sort of support group.
