What drives you nuts??
 
Now there are lots of sports that I don't like to watch, but other people do - and that is fine with me.

But my husband likes to watch car races. Now its not the race itself that drives me bonkers -- its that NEEOWWWW, NEEOWWWW, NEEOWWW, NEEEOWW - sound that goes on and on for hours and hours. I don't know how anybody can sit there and listen to it!

It gave me a headache and I wasn't even in the same room!!

I'll trade you, want to hear about Concorde and DC-9s (!) from a 4yr old all day long instead? Dinosaurs would make a nice change :thumbup:

The tinny beat from other people's headphones/earphones. Especially when sitting next to them on the bus.

What drives you nuts?...............A steering wheel down the trousers might, no seriously take a nagging wife and 4 children on a marathon non stop drive in the middle of winter from Windsor to Tampa Florida. I did and my ears started to bleed by the time we reached Kentucky. It seemed like a good idea at the time.

Hehe.

We had a monster (i.e. very big) kid who looked as if he was maybe three when he was only one. People used to watch him slobbering happily and say "oh, what a shame".

Mrs C had to be physically restrained on several occasions.

(He's about to graduate from Queen's)

(And he's still very big).
