Is it normal to get the 'nails on a chalkboard' feeling when...

People slide their hand on carpet or drag their feet on carpet? I'm not sure why, but I hate that noise! It gives me the shivers and ugh it's just feels weird..

      I did this last night and it made me jump and shiver. Sometimes the sound creeps into my thoughts without even experiencing it and my body acts like it happened just from the memory. This sound is the stuff of evil legend.

    AAARGH yes OMG totally! My mum rubs her feet on the carpet and she knows I freaking hate it, then when my lil sis got onto my pet hates she did stuff on purpose, so I would chase her round to get her to stop, in fact soon as I seen the post I said 'YIKES'

    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.

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

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

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

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

    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.

      Ooh I know people that hate that stuff too, but it doesn't affect me at all. Literally the only thing that bothers me is carpet. Not even actual nails on a chalkboard bother me..
