The real reason that I don't want him to chomp his ice <which I do know he dearly loves> is 1) he'll wreck his teeth (the dentist told him that) and; 2) it makes me want to choke him. It's one of those noises that makes you want to throw yourself off of a building. I know.. I know.. this is something personal with me, and probably my own problem. There is some noises that just drive me totally out of my mind: chewing with the mouth open, smacking gum, slurping, high pitched security systems, water dripping, high pitched voices, etc. I'm really noise sensitive and they drive me literally to insanity! I like to chew my ice, too, and it doesn't bother him.. so maybe it's just the noise. I can't stand to go to movies because the chomping on the popcorn bothers the hell out of me. That might be just my own wierdness, I don't know.
As far as the leg shaking, it's just his thing. When I have had too much coffee, I shake my leg, too, or can't sit still and it drives him nuts. That's just a little thing.. That doesn't bother me too much.. But I swear..
If I had a dime for every time I mentioned to quit chomping your ice or quit shaking your leg.. I'd be a millionaire! LOL! But, of course, he doesn't like some things I do, either, and he nags me about it.
For everyone: What does your mate/significant other do that really bugs YOU?
