The rustling of plastic grocery bags is my new least favorite sound, because it means
the frickin MOUSE might be trying to nest. I no longer use those bags as wastebasket liners;
I now have smooth wastebasket bags made especially for that purpose. That don't fucking rustle. :hide:
-
The washing machine emitting a triple beep. Because that means it is unbalanced and I need to sort it out.
-
The sound of of the cats running, either they just knocked something down or they are chasing each other and fighting
-
Parts, how many cats do you have?

4 :zombiefuck: only one of them is allowed to go outside and he is the only one of them I still like.

Why are the three you do not like indoor cats?

One I think has some mental issues it hates people and is rather mean except to my daughter who all cats seem to love. The second one isn't that bad but still not very nice. The third can be rather nice at times but gets very needy once you pet it it will not leave you alone and likes to get right in your face , it also begs for food and will jump right up and try and get at food on your plate which is why we named it Catdog. They all eat my house plants and one or more of them like to crap and piss in odd places around the house usually about once a week

Wouldn't their behaviour get better if they could get rid of their energy outside too?
Luna and Sirius can become cranky pests when they have to stay inside.

4 cats, wow. We have 2, they are allowed outside during the day. Their curfew is around 5:30 - 6pm which is dinner time for them. Liam always tries to get back outside because he loves it out there at night. We have to watch him if we go out because he is very sneaky and fast.

Yesterday, someone in my building was singing and playing "Muskrat Love" on
acoustic guitar. "Muskrat Love." Voluntarily. That's almost as scary as the mouse noises. :tinfoil: :laugh:

Lately, almost any unexplained sound in the apartment makes me nervous. I expect this will pass,
but for now it's a pain. And the memory of the rustling-plastic-bag sound is truly frightening to me now. :hide:

I hate glass because when it breaks, the tiny fragments fly everywhere. So dangerous.
So when I hear glass break at work :aff: I go into a full-body flinch like a nervous old biddy!
-
My washing machine doesn't even beep when the load is uneven, it just keeps going, things get violent. The sound of that is an uh-oh.

I would think they would use safety glass at the place you work.
Here in my house, most of the glasses I use regularly are made of safety glass. Stronger than other glass, and when it breaks it does not splinter the way regular glass does. And it still can be pretty.

Heard the sound of a falling plant. Cat reclaimed his place in the sun. :-\

I'd never even heard of safety glass being used in restaurants! :orly:

When I lived in Brooklyn I went to pick up a friend and on my route to the train station some guy high on angel dust started shooting everyone in sight. Luckily I was running late so I wasn't right there. I ducked behind a car until the shooting stopped and then ran. But years later I heard a car backfire and froze.
You'd think firecrackers would have the same effect but it hasn't happened since that once.
Now it's the phone ringing because it's either my mother or someone speaking French trying to sell me something.

Duralex Picardie glasses are pretty enough.
Duralex (https://www.duralexusa.com/Duralex.html) has a lot of tempered drinking glasses.
Douwe Egberts for a while had tea glasses that were so strong that they were used at festivals. You bought the glass and could get tea all over the festival. Those glasses are really sturdy. I have 11 of them. Once long long time ago, I had 12. All have fallen down more than once. Only one time one did not survive.

It's either really good, or horribly wrong. :laugh:

*looks to see that they do offer tempered glass now, just have never seen it here*
We have 5 favorites here, hand blown oddities from the 50's or 60's, heavy as hell and littered with finger holds...and two very thick heavy water goblets. So far they are surviving my clumsiness.
I will admit I can find the sound of breaking glass almost therapeutic if I'm the one doing the breaking.

Mouse problems? (yes, every fall they find their way in at our house, too, but my cat takes care of things. She always leaves something to clean up, but at least she takes them to her eating area when she is done torturing them to death.)
All this talk about cats and I have to ask, Do you NOT have a cat?
If you hate cats, I have "friends" who swear that a ferret is a more effective mouse predator than multiple cats.
Maybe you should get a ferret.

I hate the sound of cars crashing into each other.
The next road over has become the north-south rat run to avoid traffic through town and with a thirty mile per hour speed limit people still drive over fifty miles per hour as they zip past town. BUT, there are intersections every block, some with a limited view of the cross street and traveling so fast one can not stop if someone does not see a car traveling almost double the speed limit.
It happens too often. Everyone is all about ME! ME! ME FIRST! To Hell with everyone else's concerns. Me First!
Without sounding too Republican, maybe they should stiffen the penalties for driving too fast and hurting someone.
There was a mom and her four year old son killed a few blocks down the road a few days ago partly because a big SUV was going very fast on a city street.
I know, I drive a huge SUV as well, but I do not drive like an fucking idiot - never have since I was about twenty two or three. I drive like a chauffeur carrying four apiaries (giant nests of bees that do not want to be disturbed) in the back seat with a boiling cup of coffee between my legs.
If I can learn to take it easy on the streets, why can others not?

Pet parents and pet-sitters understand too.

It's a no-pets building. The only "pets" are the mice, though since I cleaned up my apartment, there's been
little evidence of them. I never saw one in this building in almost 17 years living here, till last September. :-\

I have a box of ugly crockery to throw with in the shed.
And when the glass-containers were above ground, making a trip to get rid of glass jars and bottles was a delight. So rewarding the sound of breaking glass. I do understand why the containers are below surface now. I do get that people living around the containers do not want to hear the sound all day. But it still is a pity.

The sound my washer made two days ago before it died.
Something between a loud squeal, a scream, and a grinding noise as it tried to agitate and spin at the same time. (tranny went)

So now you have to go to a laundromat? Pain in the pantaloons. :thumbdn:

Does a condom make a sound if it breaks? That would be an awful sound to hear.

I'm sure I don't know. I have no experience in such things. :angel:

Got a reconditioned Maytag the next day, with a glass lid...the cats are intrigued.
Unfortunately it had an issue last night on the final load, and I think has a bad water temp sensor, it sprayed water on the clothes after it got done with the final spin...set it to spin again and it did it again...set it to spin on another cycle, and it finally stopped pissing on the clothes so I could get them in the dryer. :roar:
10 washers to pick from and I got the retarded one.
Putting it though it's paces again today to see if it repeats the process and I need to call for a part...30 day warranty thankfully.

No it doesn't.

Spinning and spraying and spinning :vortex2: and spraying and spinning ...
So basically you got the appliance version of a Charlie-In-The-Box! :rofl:

Sorry, I sometimes forget that not everyone owns their own private residence.
Kind of a mystery in that those horrors have just recently shown up.
In the garage I use these "heartful," "Kind Killing," "more humane" traps, because my cat is the world's biggest 'fraidy cat. SHe will not go outside unless coaxed and then stays right at my feet and follows me in when I go.
You just set these traps where they travel and they wander in for the false bait and starve to death over the next few days or you can check them more often and when you catch one of the little buggers, just reach in with pliers and squish its ass, clean out the trap and reset it.
Unfortunately I do not only capture mice. I have caught baby 'possums, large rats, chipmunks and even once a kitten. I was lucky enough to let the kitten out in time, but as far as those awesomely cute little chipmunks go, I consider them even more destructive than mice or even rats. I let them go to hell.
You might look into those humane traps, since you can not keep an animal predator in your house.

Recently I heard a fight in my apartment building. Two young guys were arguing, voices were raised,
curses were shouted, and then there was a scuffle and a few thuds. Someone else was yelling "Stop!"
The fight did in fact stop, and I think one of the combatants just left the building. Good thing. :police:
