Title. If you know anything about ASMR, you might be familiar with those who tap their fingers against an object, like a jar or a wallet. Sometimes, people who DON'T do ASMR do finger tapping anyway!

So, why do I dislike it so much? It's simple: I not only dislike the sound itself, it gives me a tingle that I really don't like. It makes me uncomfortable.

You may be thinking, "Why not avoid ASMR?" I do! But sometimes I could be watching a video that wasn't marked as ASMR or has nothing to do with ASMR (example: videos where the owner is feeding their dog a raw diet) and they tap their fingers anyway each time they present a jar or the slow feeder they use for the dog food. It is an awful sound and it gives me a tingly feeling that I do not like. I immediately scroll each time the finger tapping comes up.

This isn't just ASMR, either. This applies to real life, too. I have told people to stop tapping their fingers more times than I could count on both my hands.
