Default 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!!

Listening to my 4 year telling me dinosaurs facts all day long, even when his baby sister is crying at the top of her tiny lungs!

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

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

People leaving the nightclub that we are so luckily down the street from, doing handbreak turns in their cars or driving like fricking nutters at 2.am.

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).
