I get it when i hear knives and forks scrape on the plate while someone is eating.

I can't stand people chewing ice or rubbing cotton balls. Ewwwww cringe

I am rubbing my feet on the carpet in excitement as I read this post.

Even reading this gave me the nails-on-a-chalkboard feeling. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh.

i agree with tommythecat that annoys me the most oh and a recorder in the hands of a child

I get it when people tear paper or cardboard. I hate it.

I feel like that when someone scratches their head. Random I know.

The scraping sound on nylons...but worse then that that stuff they put on kids backpacks to make the image look like it can move...that's the most terrible ever. Everyone looks at me like I'm cracker jacks when I respond to it being scratched negatively. But my physical response to the sound is so severe it borderlines on painful. Not going to even pretend my physical response to that is normal. It gives me this "electrical"? Feeling from my head to my toes. My legs go jelly...it sucks.

Holy hell I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE!
I get the same feeling!

Ha. I get 'nails on chalkboard feeling' when people actually scratch their nails across a chalkboard where I work.

I get it too especially the ripping noise of carpet like when a cat snags their claws on it

When a tiny dog barks I get that nails on a chalkboard feeling. I just want to punt the dog on the head and see his demise on a groundly scale.

I get that sensation from the sound of ice scraping.

I get the same feeling when somebody touches my jaw. *shudders* I think it's pretty normal, we all have those thoughts.

I get that feeling with cardboard, like when i had to put together pizza boxes at my old job. Left me with shivers, ugh.

I get this feeling from a variety of things like when people write on a chalkboard or when someone opens a creaky door. UGH!

You've just given me a flashback of something I used to do with my hand on carpet! Can't remember the exact details, but it was something to do with circling my hand on carpet when I was a child. Most unpleasant!

I don't even get that feeling when hearing nails on a chalkboard. I do, however, get it when plastic is scraped against polished wood. It makes me want to shoot someone.
