Top 5 list for me
5. Doorbell when I'm in bed
4. Telephone ringing during shower
3. Baby crying at 3 am<super>*
2. Nails on chalkboard
1. Alarm clock
Surprisingly, the dentist's drill doesn't bother me at all.
I use an iPod as an alarm and vary the sound regularly. Today the &$#% thing had frozen sometime last night (it just works  ) and we had a great time getting the kids off to school...

Oh, I can think of much worse sounds than these.
Much worse.

Speaking of sounds - is PooperPig there yet?
Ok, that was indeed a bad one! 
Your time will come, if you let it be right.

No - I am suffering greatly from enjoying the programming too much.
But I have got some great sounds for it, thanks to The BoyTM

1 Jackhammer - we have a condo being built next door
2 Screaming children
3 Crying baby - any time, any place just let me leave!
4 Hypercars at 4 am - bastards can't get out of 2nd gear here in normal traffic.
5 The gentle gurgle as the bottle empties.

My phone ringing in the very early morning...
That means a customer has a very serious problem which must be fixed asap and I'm the only one who can fix it.
I don't think there's anything worse to start your day with (well, I guess there is, but it's still pretty sh*tty).
Another pretty awful sound is the christmas radio at work...
I'm all for a cheery christmas vibe with cheerful christmas songs.
But not the same friggin songs ten times a day for eight hours straight!

My most hated sound is my cellphone ringing...doesn't matter who is on the other end either since whoever it is (wife, boss, kids) will inevitably want something even if it's nothing more than just whining!

Not carrying around a cellphone would kill all of those birds with one stone.

The CIA had an opening for an assassin.
After all the background checks, interviews and testing were done, there were three finalists: two men and a woman.
For the final test, the CIA agents took one of the men to a large metal door and handed him a gun.
"We must know that you will follow your instructions no matter what the circumstances. Inside the room you will find your wife sitting in a chair.....kill her !!!"
The man said "You can't be serious. I could never shoot my wife!"
The agent said, "Then you are not the right man for this job. Take your wife and go home".
The second man was given the same instructions. He took the gun and went into the room. All was quiet for about five minutes. The man came out with tears in his eyes, "I tried, but I can't kill my wife."
The agent said, "You don't have what it takes, so take your wife and go home."
Finally, it was the woman's turn. She was given the same instructions, to kill her husband. She took the gun and went into the room. Shots were heard, one after another. They heard screaming, crashing, and banging on the walls..
After a few minutes, all was quiet. The door opened slowly and there stood the woman, wiping sweat from her brow.
"This gun is loaded with blanks," she said. "I had to kill him with the chair!"

No chance at all to qualify, but I think I will watch.
Edit: Take a look at the video section. There are a few videos of night flights.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

When I put IE9 into compatibility view, CP's layout changes. It's mildly disturbing.

They are not 'Weirdnesses' they are features!
I didn't realise that you can get a version of IE that doesn't have such features....

The weirdness is that they released it and people use it.
New version: WinHeist Version 2.1.0
There's a fine line between crazy and free spirited and it's usually a prescription.
I'm currently unsupervised, I know it freaks me out too but the possibilities are endless.
