@jim: Look at me regressing and being the defensive one.
Sorry.
For me, I just can't stand that noise on television. Even if it's a show I like with people I like...the slurpy thing just gets to me like fingernails on a blackboard get to some people. And of course it was exaggerated just for that effect, but it made me oogey.
But I also get the creeps from certain suspended ceilings and other holey textures like that. And wet yarn. Can't stand it. Yeah, I'm weird.
