  Pro (but obvious) tip: if you rent an airbnb or hotel room with a ticking clock, and you don't like it, just take the battery out. Then before you leave, put it back in and reset the time.

  Less annoyed than I am about the clicking noise my eyelids make when I blink.

  Love listening to my wristwatches. Hate ticking quartz room clocks. Also hate other noise makers like those Japanese waving cats.

  If trying to sleep, very. I would take the clock off the wall and put it in the drawer when sleeping on the sofa at my parents' house. Now, I always have a fan going for white noise, wherever possible...

  Maddening at work and soothing at home.

  I have a Vienna Regulator that was built in 1879 and still keeps PERFECT time. It can tick as much as it likes — Nothing I’ll ever make will be here, let alone be useful, 140+ years from now.
