All of the above, plus chewing.

Dictators chewing gum
I just have to know....Does it drive anyone else absolutely CRAZY when a doctor chews gums or is sucking loudly on candy while dictating???? It drives me insane to the point of being irate by the time I am finished with the report!!!!!!!!!!! I actually get chest tightness and a headache just listening to them.

docs chewing
Our docs do it all the time. I guess they don't think we can hear them :)

Chewing gum/eating

One Russian psychiatrist actually ate an entire apple while dictating, and her accent could hardly be understand to begin with. We're talking right off the boat.

I particularly like someone eating an item wrapped in paper, because then you get both the chomping and the crackling.

And gum chewers (of which I've had several) who slurp, smack and actually crack the gum into the phone.

chewing, yawning, moving around...
NOT SPELLING WORDS THEY CAN'T EVEN PRONOUNCE...HELLO! That must be the biggest thing for me! Who do they think I am, Sylvia Brown???

I have a gum chewing nurse practitioner, yuck.
this is totally disgusting at 4:30 in the morning. I wish she had to listen to herself for a few minutes.

How do you break a kitten from chewing on and playing with your cords and wires? I just got my

daughter a kitten. I haven't had a cat since I was a kid. I'm kind of a dog person. The darn thing keeps playing with all the cords and wires under my desk and jumping on my desk and walking on my C-phone and keyboard and knocking stuff off my desk. I'm losing my mind! He's very playful and he is very rough. He is always attacking my feet while I'm working and not to sound like a baby, but it really hurts! I put him in "time-out" by putting him in a separate room and shutting the door for like 10 or 15 minutes, but he just goes right back to his bad behavior. It's definitely not like training a dog!

Help me please! My line count is suffering on account of his silly cat and I don't think my boss is going to buy my cat as a legitmate excuse!
