Heading towards home in the morning, going to take a different longer route home. I40
Heading to Zion Nat. park on the way.
Can't believe the month is almost done, done a lot and had a great time but am ready to get home. Have over 2K photos to process.
Along with Antimatter and Dark Matter they've discovered the existence of Doesn't Matter which appears to have no effect on the universe whatsoever!

Take care. 
Don't mind those people who say you're not HOT. At least you know you're COOL.

OK, you might say that I'm oversensitive, but I'm freaking out right now!
My collegue sitting right in front of me just came in ½ hour later than me. He brought breakfast. A sandwich in a plastic wrapper and a can of Coke. The plastic wrapper makes a hell of a noise, the coke can makes a lot of noise, and he eats and drinks very noisily. This normally goes on for around 15 minutes until he very noisily throws the wrapper and the can in the waste paper basket.
Why the HELL can't he eat his breakfast at home or at the lunch table in the office kitchen instead of by his work station???

There is an upside too, mind you: After the breakfast, he goes to the toilet (presumably very noisily, but THAT I wouldn't know!) and is gone for around ½ hour (A bliss of silence for me!  )

The audible ones are harmless ...

I think not.
Well, if your colleague accidentally scratched his ring on his table and the sound that had been created really irritated you, then I can say you are really sensitive.
Well for me, that screeching sound is irritating.

We're sitting 8 people in an open office, but normally it doesn't bother me that much. There are, however, a few sounds that piss me off. Like this breakfast show a couple of days a week, and the fact that one of my other collegues insists on having a notification signal (not just a signal, but the most irritating signal one can imagine!) on his phone every time he receives a text message (which he does quite a lot).
I have on multiple occasions asked him to turn it off and said that I find it really irritating, but he doesn't seem to care. I guess it's VERY important to read the text messages the very second they arrive (could be that he has a dominating GF, but I don't know her, so I can't tell for sure  )

that is quite disturbing. Isn't it prohibited? I know it's some kind of a company rule that you have to put your phone to silent mode when you are at the office.
I have this colleague whose ringing tone was the "Do you wanna build a snowman" song from Frozen.
Every time I hear that song, I know it's her phone.
Don't mind those people who say you're not HOT. At least you know you're COOL.

We don't have a policy about that, unfortunately...

I'm immune to the song.
Having little sister who loves Frozen, she always want to watch it with me ( and probably watched it for so many times).
What bothers me is when out of nowhere, I'll just say:
"Hi, I'm Olaf and I like warm hugs!"
"...all good things, all good things..."
"Why isn't she knocking? Isn't she knows how to knock?"
Don't mind those people who say you're not HOT. At least you know you're COOL.

Every time the alert sounds say in a loud voice, [colleague's name] your GF is calling you. 
He will probably get annoyed and if he says something tell him to put the phone on vibrate if he doesn't want everyone to know he is henpecked.

I don't think it'll work, as mentioned, I have already asked him on several occasions to turn it off, but I think it's pissing him off that I point it out and leave it on on purpose...

That is why you should escalate this from a private request to a public shaming.
Just say it loud so everyone can hear. After a while he may realize that the whole office is laughing at him and turn the phone to vibrate.
Then again he may not but at least you get to take the piss on him.
