We cross now to r/AskReddit, where u/BubblesandButterflie (not a typo) wanted to find out about the things that take people up to and beyond their last nerve.

These 19 seemed a good place to start.

I have at least two people in my open plan office at work that several times a day will suddenly loudly whistle about three seconds of a tune out of nowhere. Lips should be a privilege, not a right.
