Your science teacher sounds like my kind of person, emordino – an honest party-animal with adverse reactions for wholly sane reasons.

He may join me in the isolation room.

We did an experiment in science class once where we tested the effect salivary amylase has on starch. It was a Monday morning and the teacher made no bones about having a stinking hangover, so he made us all crouch down behind our desks because he said seeing us spitting would make him throw up. Thirty of us, on our haunches on the lino, hocking into test tubes. Good times.

There is a river we meet on our walks,it’s less than 500 yards from the house. But the tap water will not be touched until all of the crap has evaporated. Also it is Ireland after all.

Didn’t see you there, Vince.

What does the dog drink, so?

Snapping chewing gum? Really? That’s one that doesn’t bother me, although if I start thinking about the amount of unfamiliar spit in chewing gum, it would totally … OH MY GOD! YUK!

I’m lucky enough to work in a relatively smell-free office. I did used to have one colleage who never thought of Bath as anything but a geographical location, but the recession got him. It got him good.

Or a JCB for that matter. THE JCB AS AN ATM.

It’s the eating with the mouth open that gets to me. The air thing less so as most of us are allergic to something or another, which I’m convinced is mostly the chemical crap they put in the water. The fucking dog will not drink to bloody stuff, she thinks it’s piss what with the amount of chlorine.

Yay, a fellow mouth-breather!

I can’t breathe through my nose. Between my allergies and my dodgy sinuses and my migraines, if I had to get oxygen through my nose I’d be dead. I’m getting all panicky just at the thought of not being able to breathe through my mouth. I promise you that you will not hear me breathing though.

And yes, offices do suck, but it’s more the olfactory assault that gets to me. People bring their really nasty smelling lunches in, eat them at their desks, and then proceed to pick their teeth and belch and fart through the rest of the afternoon. It’s fucking gruesome.

Absinthe….makes the heart grow fonder….

Offices can indeed be grating, if there isn’t proper soundproofing of your corner office to keep the sounds of growling stomachs at a proper distance.

What I really really hate is the sound of snapping chewing gum. Like nails on a blackboard…
