Guest guest Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 I'm the same way with the control. Even if I just know When the noise will stop, it's better. Like today, this guy sitting right beside me was slurping a 'dum dum' lollipop. It was driving me crazy, of course. But how long can a dum dum actually last, right? So I could just tell myself 'okay, five minutes and it's over.' and that really helps me. If I can trick myself into thinking I have any kind of control over the noise, I'm good. maybe there is something with this ocd aspect to 4s. does this drive anyone else crazy: someone has a drink bottle and the rhythm goes something like this: untwist cap, sip, retwist cap, set down....wait 3 seconds, pick bottle up...untwist cap, sip, retwist cap, set down...wait 3 seconds, pick bottle up, ...AAAGH! JUST SWALLLOW!!!!! Yep. I have Bottle Rage. Today, during new job training, this girl was like fixated on her bottle. So of course, I fixated on her. It was all I could think about or look at. And she was making no noise. She kept absently twisting at the cap of the bottle, just twisting and twisting and twisting until i wanted to scream at her 'IT'S ON!!!! It's NOT coming OFF!" Then after all her twisting to make sure the d*** thing was on, she kept setting it down, picking it up, setting it down, picking it up, twisting off, sip, twisting on, twisting on, twisting on, setting down...moving an inch to the left...picking up, twisting off, sipping. I ALMOST grabbed the bottle and broke it over her head. I was having serious rage issues. And no noise. Interesting, yes?Tammy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
