Parkland "activists"

A bit too political for a thread that has nothing to do with politics, don't you think?

^{(And to point out everyone who's mentioned Hillary Clinton, I believe it's probably political, just me, not a problem, but one could easily make the argument they genuinely don't like her voice, so fair enough.)}

+ 1

And of all things political, perhaps one shouldn't speak ill of those who were in a genuine tragedy such as seeing 17 classmates killed in front of them. Regardless of your stance on gun issues, I think that comment was uncalled for.

My apologies. I probably shouldn't have included that.

I have misophonia, and people slurping, chewing loudly and humming drive me insane.

Someone in the process of a massive dumpage event in the bathroom. Yuck!

Does anyone use an outhouse anymore???

I assume cjk means the sound of someone in the stall taking a massive dump.  I hate that too, and go out of my way to avoid going #2 in shared public bathrooms.  I know that, when ya gotta go, ya gotta go, but...ugh, anywhere but there.

I think we can all agree that the sound of a person loudly passing gas is one of the most hilarious sounds imaginable.

Yes, Mel Brooks proved that definitively in Blazing Saddles.

[abefroman329]

Since we were discussing songs that have been censored for terrestrial radio play, I'd like to remind everyone that ABC once broadcast Blazing Saddles, and one of the many edits they made to the movie was removing the fart sounds from the campfire scene.

One of our members was named Outhouse.  Not sure if she got married or just changed it.

She changed it to Latrine.

The sound of people breathing. Most people's  breathing is virtually silent, however My Dad breathes absurdly loud, and it has always driven me insane. I've never told him this though. What am I supposed to say? "Dad, please stop breathing."?

One of my uncles breathes while eating anything, and moans audibly. It's very unsettling. You could compare it to having an orgasm while eating... Ewww

Have you ever asked to have what he's having?

[seicer]

Basically, ASMR is akin to having an orgasm in your brain for some. Ever get that weird tingling feeling while listening to your coworker bang away at a mechanical keyboard? Or someone softly speaking while marking up a paper?

What about the sound of someone's repeated loud belching? 
Would most people agree that is a disgusting and offensive sound?

The problem with it is that you are wondering if you are about to hear the sound of the chunks hitting the floor.

I love ASMR, although it does seem to be an acquired taste.

[seicer]

I do too. Which is why I have a mechanical keyboard at home and in the office. I also just really enjoy having tactile feedback and the feeling that a physical link produces a desired result (e.g. mechanical keyboard, tuning knobs). Enough of these captive displays in cars!

I don't experience any tingling feeling at all. It's quite literally just useless noise to me. Don't know how it would feel and probably never will.

The other afternoon, someone on the bus let out a fart that smelled so bad I thought they shat themselves.  THAT was disgusting.  Since belching is odorless unless you're right in the face of the belcher, it's just hilarious.

Regarding farts and belches: Timing is everything, sometimes it breaks tension at the right moment. Used too often, one becomes a sad clown.

I'm kind of surprised at the sounds of food being eaten considered as annoying. Never really gave it much thought...we all eat, after all.

I do too. Which is why I have a mechanical keyboard at home and in the office. I also just really enjoy having tactile feedback and the feeling that a physical link produces a desired result (e.g. mechanical keyboard, tuning knobs). Enough of these captive displays in cars!

This, too.

That my car makes distinctive sounds when using the various HVAC controls, the shifter makes its own dull clicks, the clutch pedal squeaks just a little bit, the pedal faces have a "tap" to it, the radio having it's own touch, the feel of the objects moved just at the right times, the switchgear's feedback gentle but certain...that's a tactile enjoyment that's personal to the owner.

I'm fine with a phone or tablet having a smooth surface, since it has to change depending on the applications in use. But you depend on the feel of some constants when hurtling around at speed, that you know what sounds normal and natural from the abnormal, so there's reasons auto manufacturers design things in that way.

But if the belching is followed by the sound of the chunks hitting the floor, that would most definitely -not- be odorless.  It would be quite smelly.

When I worked in high rises, I was really bad (or good, depending on how you look at it) at farting in empty elevators 3 seconds before the doors opened at a floor I was not expecting the elevator to stop at.

Luckily, I don't work in a high rise any more.

OK, then:

Vomiting in a closed space: Disgusting
Vomiting in an open space: Not my favorite thing, but OK
Belching without vomiting: Hilarious
