you know, my least favourite sound in the world is listening to someone throwing up. More even than listening to myself yakking up. ew.

Is there a worse sound (Atomic Kitten covers do not count)?

Anything involving fingernails scratching across the surface of most fabrics. And it doesn't help that the fingernails on my right hand have grown hideously long for my classical guitar lessons. I shudder whenever my fingernails touch my school bag.

taxi brakes. I'm supposed to now be old enough that I can't hear frequencies that high, but I still can.

you know that feeling when you're hungover and you go to work and you lock yourself in a cubicle, playing snake on your mobile and preparing to take a good shit, and then in the next cubicle you hear someone let out the most disgusting diarrhoea ever, and you know that in five seconds you're going to be smelling it? That's a bad noise, too.

The screams of a cat that just had its hindparts run over.

You don't know what Hell sounds like until you've heard 2 raccoons fight a large and ornery cat.

THe sound -- I'm \getting chills just imaginin it right now - of chapped hands on salt-dried shoelaces. Brings back the only bad thing about sailing (the feel of untying your sneakers after they'd dried out after a full day of it). Sometimes dry rope will let out similar shhhkhhhkzhhhsszzhhh sounds under other circumstances. Hate it.

After attempting to read while my missus watched that Posh programme on ITV2 last night, I can quite happily say that the sound of La Beckham's voice going ON AND ON AND ON AND ON ABOUT HERSELF! is the worst sound I've ever heard.
I had to go off and read in bed. It gave me a pain. Just here, see?

...that said, what Grant just described brought back some repressed memories which made me shudder. Ugh. How could you?
