Canned laughter. A constant loop of that would make me nuts. When recording it why did they have one extremely loud weird laugher? I know you know what I'm talking about...

Oh yea. I once (and once was enough) went to see a TV show made. Before it started they had us all laugh on command for about five minutes then, when they felt the show needed a boost they'd edit a few seconds of it into the program.

We could scarcely refuse to laugh or we'd have looked churlish on screen.

The sound of a person -- most often a young girl -- giggling when they don't understand what you've just said to them.

I saw a young woman doing it on a BBC quiz show the other day. Never drove me nuts. Fortunately she set a world record for being eliminated.

There is a lot of that in high school. I'm glad to be away from it. Even though it comes from immaturity and ignorance and nervousness, it's surely an unbearable sound.

The sound that indicates that a loud, high-pitched, boring talkaholic is gearing up for a long, narcissistic session.

John D. McDonald described a boor as a person who deprives you of solitude without providing you with company.

I share your horror of listening to the monologues of narcissists.

You must be talking about my cousin, Roger.

Yes, Roger, and my sister. She called me when our cousin died. She spent 18 minutes talking about her hair!
