Thanks, boobamiaow! I was afraid that people might want to de-friend me after reading this, so I'm happy it gave you a giggle! :-) It's also good to know that I'm not the only one who gets annoyed by certain noises. My parents claim it's because I'm oversensitive to these things, but if you hear the same thing day in and day out (like that co-worker of yours who says "err" before her name when making a phone call), it is going to start to grate on your nerves! Unfortunately, you're absolutely right: once you notice these things, you're doomed! *g*
