I worked with a woman who couldn't take any noise. Not sure why she picked working in a newsroom as a career. She'd freak out if the microwave beeped and scolded me once for blowing my nose too loudly. I made sure to jiggle my keys and stomp my feet whenever I passed her desk.

 

Worked with a SE like that. He would get angry and huff and puff if people were loud. That just made us be louder and he would hop up and down in his chair and eventually leave the room.
