Somewhere along the line, I have become intolerant of other people's noises. Hacking coughs, that awful crunching, saliva-smacking noise of someone eating, throat clearing.. the list goes on. Oh! Just discovered an new one. The snakelike hiss of a muffled chuckle. Fssss! Fsssss!

It's not as if I'm perfectly innocent of doing all of these things around other people, and I'm sure that I can be just as annoying, if not more so. But come ON people! Get that lump of mucus out of your throat at home, in your bathroom. Don't make me watch, hear, or step in it. Eat your breakfast baggie of potato chips at home, not on the train in the seat behind me. (Crunch. Smack. Crinkle. Smack. Smack. Crunch. Ka-Pow!!!) Some things can't be helped, but please do something about the ones that can.
