OK, that really bothers some people. Doesn't do anything to me at all but, most everyone has something that just sends shivers up their spine.

Mine is (and its kinda weird) handling bonded paper, I.E., a TV Guide or other magazine, with damp hands. Gives me the willies just thinking about it!

Whats yours?

Eye surgery and rhinoplasty. This is from a guy who has spent many hours in the OR, too.

Folks hacking up phlegm and spitting it out in public. Makes me want to puke every time.

Thinking about a paper cut. Chills and a shiver every time.

Finding a bone in a piece of fish/chicken. Instant nausea.

Styrofoam on cardboard. That squeaking makes me want to throw up.

Fingernails on chalkboard? No problem.

Rubbing balloons? No problem.

Squeaking styrofoam? BIG PROBLEM!!!! Just drives me nuts.

Fine with all the noises others mentioned, but I CAN'T STAND the sound of a nail file, those cheap cardboard+sandpaper jobs. Always had to leave the room when an ex was doing it. It just goes straight to my brain.

+1 with Grislyatoms on the hawking phlegm aversion.
Also: the thought of getting a papercut on an eye (saw this happen to a guy...eeewww!) and eating something alive & squirming or that has been slobbered, coughed or sneezed on.
And Sergeant Bob...that really is weird. Makes me want to know why.

Another styrofoamer here
Also, some markers on paper get me.....

My wife hates when I fold a paper and smooth the crease with my fingers..... laugh

Rap "music" and ebonics.

A voice on the phone that tells me I have to press "1" for English.

A self-rightous lecture from ANY politician of ANY party, especially if the phrase ". . . for the children . . . " is used.

1. People who get VERY LOUD WHEN TALKING ON A CELLPHONE.

2. Worse. People who, on cell or speakerphone, deliver a coffeecup-drop-startling HAW! laugh out of nowhere.

When you answer your phone and get a recorded message, "Please hold for a customer....." Never find out the rest of it because the next sound is CLICK.

Lately, those customer service hold messages tell you to call back later even though it only takes a few minutes to talk to someone.

Chalkboard scratching is irritating to me. No problem with most other stuff mentioned.

I get car sick sometimes when I am passenger and the driver is one of those people pumps the gas and brakes all the time.

New car smell will make me nauseous sometimes also. I think it is because new car smell is all fake these days.

Fingernails on chalkboards do it to me (shivers up the spine). We have a student who snorts and coughs up whatever he can, holds it in his mouth in a way that you know he has something there, and THEN asks to go outside to spit (makes me want to vomit every time). Nothing worse than helping to clean up someone else's vomit (after working in an eating disorders unit of a psych hospital for a time, and now a teacher, I've had to do it a lot, but at least I don't get bothered by SEEING someone else's vomit anymore).

Yeah, I don't like that either, but just wait until we are no longer #1 (I can just imagine, "please press 1 for Spanish, 2 for pick common language for your area and insert here, press 3 for English, press..."). That is when we have really lost.

Same here. I hate squeaking styrofoam. I used to twist balloon animals, so squeaking balloons are especially no problem.

The super high pitch whine from a badly tuned CRT. If you ever find me beating on a television or an old-school monitor, I'm trying to make it stop.

It's like someone hooks a dog whistle up to an air compressor, turns it on, and shoves it through my nasal cavity into my brain.

In my case, it seems like almost all CRT TVs whine. I didn't think of that originally, but that is probably the sound that drives me the highest up the wall. My family will be over for a party at someone's house, and I'll leave the room in which the TV is on because of the whine.

Sometimes I'm glad I'm deaf at extremely high frequencies.

Being sticky. I hate being sticky. Things like poorly closed syrup or jelly bottles that I have to handle drive me nuts.
