Is it just ME, or does anybody else hate..... (#2 in a series).....?

Question

the sound of someone RIPPING paper?

My co-workers (too lazy to get up and walk over to the 'communal' shredder) sit at their desks all day RIPPING pieces of paper into strips (yeah, like that's really gonna 'erase' any identifiable information on that patient's medical records!)

so I sit in my cubicle trying to work, while all day long.... when I least expect it.... RIIIIIPPPPPP
RIIPPPPP
RIIIPPPPP

so very annoying

like fingernails on a chalkboard


one day....
I'm taking them all out.
