@Rembrandt People eating noisily irritates the piss out of me, particularly when I'm trying to concentrate, but certainly not to the extent it does for you.
Apparently, I bounce my leg when sitting. I don't know why.

I do that too and it usually annoys someone.

one of my best mates does that. I would overlook it if he didn't insist on having his foot touch the table. Stop jiggling the table you bastard!

Only thing I can think of that comes close is anytime I hear a noise like that 'click' old school clock radios used to make before the alarm would come on. Whenever I hear a similar sound I get instantly agitated/edgy. I very rarely use an alarm to wake up.

@Rembrandt cos they just piss you off!
Loud eating is annoying, especially as in most cases, it is easily solved by shutting your mouth!
One of my good friends always made 'mmm, mmmmm, mmm' sounds when he ate, was more amusing than annoying, as you can imagine, he was always made fun of, as only good mates can do.
Add me to the bounce my leg thing.

Forced laughter on the radio. Hatiest!! (Ben and Jonno are the worst at it)
Matt and Jerry are starting to do it more frequently and it completely puts me off the show when it is being forced.
When I visit NZ I have this weird love hate relationship with NZ radio. It so refreshing to have Djs that talk and swear like normal people.
But the breakfast shows and drivetime show with their antics pranks and wind up calls are the worst. Add in the forced laughter and I can't take it.

I still can't understand why station bosses think radio shows need three presenters trying to outperform each other with lame attempts at humour. It's like having a drink in a pub next to a bunch of moronic teenagers on their first outing without mum.
(caveat to that: it can be a formula that works well with something like sport. Some of the best radio I ever heard was the period when Gibbit, Smithy and Doull were together.)

Next time you're back try the sound, they really don't have any of that crap .

@mooshld Canned laughter on sitcoms. I feel I'm auditioning for another series of Grumpy Old Men

The trouble is with that sort of thing is that as soon as such a thing becomes successful the execs decide this is the way forward and every other fucking show is a rip off. Add to that the fact that usually even the original runs out of steam and becomes a parody of itself.

Yeah, it was a near perfect blend of professionalism (knowing when to keep quiet and when to chip in) and subject knowledge. Never treated the audience as stupid.
They didn't start the formula they just showed the way it could work well.

@Crucial That's a rarity alright. Did they go out on a high or die id taper off into obscurity?

I don't know whether this is a genetic thing or it is learned behaviour but I just can't stand the noise that Chris Evans makes. I'm told a lot of people suffer with this ailment.

The station pulled the plug and reorganised. It was never a high rating show as it was a morning sports show on a racing station.
At one point The Fern even had a weekly contribution with either Bart or Redbeard as guest.There were various host combinations but the one mentioned above was the best IMO.

This, this, this.
In the UK, I only ever listen to BBC Radio 6 Music - as it has good music, no ads, etc, etc... but even they have a shit morning "DJ" who tries to be funny, fails, and does stupid little "bits".
It seriously gives me the shits, as it's my alarm clock - and I want to wake up to good tunes, not some guy talking inane bullshit.
Strangely, I don't mind so much when he's on holiday, and Cerys Matthews takes over. -

I'm a shocker for it. Though I'm conscious if I'm sharing desk space with others that my leg shaking might piss them off.
