Yeah, bells and buzzers make me jump out of my skin.
Absolutely hate them.

Oh, all my five senses have their specific thresholds for annoyance.

SIGHT - I hate asymmetry. I feel the urge to organize items so they'll look in order and well proportioned with respect to one another.

HEARING - There are voices (especially children's voices) that make me wince in disgust.

SMELL - Some fruits have all kinds of unusual smells. Yuck.

TASTE - Food with sticky or slimy textures is just inedible. Also, I'm hypersensitive to bitterness. Coffee is a no-no.

TOUCH - The hem at the end of my socks. It's unbearable. It must NOT touch my toenails or walking will be an ordeal.

when I was little I couldn't wear socks without the hem being on top of the foot, Meaning not touching me, because it hurt like hell. and then I recently read part of a book on AS and it mentioned young Aspies not liking that.

clothing that is too tight, lawn mowers, certain people's voices for some reason, barking dogs, strong smells like rotten garbage, im really sensitive to heat-like hot metal or very hot water, some cleaners bother my hands. Stuff like heavy metal does not bother me, nor do loud movies like with alot of explosions or something. Oh and hot coffee and soup really hurts when I drink or eat them.

I really dislike it if a shirt I'm wearing doesn't have 'long enough' sleeves, or if the shirt isn't long enough. The texture of it is important too. I like thick cotton that isn't soft.
Socks that aren't tight, with worn out sleeves, are so annoying!
