Things That Get Under Your Skin

During a conversation, the topic of Things that one get under one's skin came up.  There was much passion and laughter, but two things were clear: people really are serious about what they don't like, and what bothers one person doesn't necessarily bother another person.
Some of the problem behaviors mentioned:
the sound of fingernails against a blackboard
the sound of chewing gum being popped in the chewer's mouth
the sight and sound of someone spitting in public
the sight of low hanging pants, especially when underwear or skin is visible
the sound of conversation peppered with curse words
the sight and sound of children being disrespectful to their parents
the sight and sound of people having loud cell phone conversations in public
the sight of drivers throwing trash out of their car windows

For now, this is all I can remember of that conversation.  Perhaps you can think of something to add to the list.
TTYS,
Sylvia
