    That type of thing is pretty cringe worthy for me, and I would politely tell the person to stop. Also, to go make me a sandwich.

    I pay attention to the tapping or drumming to see if I can figure out what tune the person is trying to play. The screechy scratchy noises is not too pleasant to my ears though. This post was edited by Kittigate at September 8, 2021 7:45 AM MDT

      I don't find it at all annoying. I don't know why but I don't. What I do find annoying though, is a dog that barks for hours on end. :)

    It doesn't bother me at all.

    I have caught myself doing it. It only annoys me when I am trying to concentrate on something else.

    I doesn't bother me right away.  But, when it does, it will stop or someone will leave the room. This post was edited by Thriftymaid at September 8, 2021 3:58 PM MDT

      That first comma doesn’t belong there at all
