Do you find babies annoying?

"wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah". All that crying.

Seriously, if it wasn't for the fact that babies are "cute" and helpless, we probably would have all murdered them a long time ago because of all the not-cute stuff they do. Projectile vomit and overloaded diapers, that's adorable all right.

I already started being sensitive to their crying, but they are cute.

Any loud noise can be distressing if it goes on for a long time, but no, I do not find babies annoying. They have as much right to be who they are as anyone else, and only very limited mean of communication available to them. It's not their fault if those methods are loud.

I remember when my daughter had what they call "Colic" as an infant - which is basically an inexplicable and extended gas attack, causing the child severe abdominal discomfort, resulting in a crying jag that may go on for several days. It wasn't her endless crying at the time that bothered me, but the emotional distress of knowing she was in discomfort, and being unable to do anything about it, but walk and rock with her for hours on end, until she fell asleep.

They're cute and sweet when looking at pictures of them. And when they're asleep.
But they have a set of lungs on them once they start. Last week I was in a small shop trying to look for something I needed, and it was getting crowded. Then a woman with a baby in a big pram came right close to me, and the baby was crying nonstop. The woman lifted it out and rubbed it's back but the baby just cried even louder. I suddenly had a panic attack because of the noise being too near to me, and others standing in my space, so I had to leave the shop before my panic attack got noticeable.
If I was the woman with the baby, I would have got the pram and the baby out of the shop (because the pram was taking up the walkway) and try to calm the baby down outside, where it was quiter and warm (the shop had too much air conditioning). It was only a small shop, not a big supermarket or anything, so that's what I would have done if I had a distressed baby in a crowded shop.

There's lots of things I don't like about babies or kids in general & I don't find babies cute.

I find them gross cause they are always putting their hands in their mouths and i don't want to touch them
