It's like a common staple to offices everywhere. Having a Quartz clock on the wall. Like sure most of the time it's probably okay. But what happens when it's quiet in your work space and all you hear all day is click-click-click-click-cuck-click-click-click-click... Drives me crazy.

clocks only work for humans because time is only relevant to us. Clocks have been adjusted to reflect this. To a dog the perception of human time and clocks are meaningless. See my other post about this topic in the "Interesting Dog Facts" thread

The idea is that you passively know what time it is after looking at the clock the first time. Because after that you just count the ticks

I fought long and hard but I've been beaten down and now we have a large ticking clock in our living room (it was a gift). I've had no choice but to accept the endless ticking into my life, I've become a more patient person as a result. I recommend it to you especially.

The cheap swatch watches click super loud. I used to keep mine in my nightstand overnight but the ticking would wake me up. I felt like a character in a Poe story.

When it comes back on and the refrigerator, furnace, fans, etc come on it feels almost deafening

My parents have a loud ticking clock in every room in their house. When it is quiet you can hear all of them ticking at once. They do not notice because they have a television on for all waking hours of the day. When I was staying there and they went out it was a real test, let me tell you

How do you get bothered by ticking? The reassuring tick of a clock is one of the nicest sounds.
