People crunching ice cubes or popsicles and people walking on crunchy frozen snow.

Arggg!

And don't forget Korean men hoarking up a big juicy loogey. Gross!

I also hate audible whispering. Like when a radio ad is advertising some sale but wants to pretend that it's a secret and they do this loud whispering like 'PSST...HEY...GET A LOAD OF THESE SALES...'

Or some TV ads for food, like cereal or a crunchy burger, and the sound editors totally play up the muffled crunching sound for effect, as if a microphone was pressed up against the actors cheek.

the sound of that your tv makes (or any appliance) when it is just on but not doing anything, that electric hum. It can seriously drive me crazy. starts as a low grade annoyance and if it doesn't get remedied.....sigh i just may go fetal.

I'll second the ignored cellphone.

But my true hatred is reserved for the guys in supermarkets who announce produce specials inside. Like those places aren't crowded and noisy enough anyway. I can almost sympathize with the vegetable truck guys, because without their loudspeakers I'd have no reason to expect there to be amazing deals on fruit outside my home. But inside the supermarket? If I want effing produce I damn well know where to find it.

Any contestant yapping/bit*ching about another contestant on any reality TV show (namely, Survivor) so that's pretty much anytime they open their mouthes, especially the female contestants when they get bugged-eyed, rolling-head angry, shouting "you don't know me!" When I hear it on TV, I immediately want the sweet release of death.

I'd say when a knife is held to my throat and my nutsack is taped to a desk -- The sound of my berries exploding when the bowling ball is dropped square on my scrotum is annoying to say the least.
