Blue lighting and especially blue LEDs. When I see it in cars I think they look like cheap Chinese electronics, and they look completely inappropriate as part of Christmas decorations. I won't frequent any establishments where it's in use, nor buy any products using them unless the colour can be changed.
I find those LEDs uncomfortable to look at in the same way that I find UV lights very uncomfortable to look at. I find them so disturbing that I wonder whether what I see is what others see. I don't see too many other people complaining about them though, although it does happen. Perhaps I see the world differently to most. But I have normal colour perception according to the standard tests.
Yeah, me too. Blue Christmas lights actually hurt my eyes.I find those LEDs uncomfortable to look at in the same way that I find UV lights very uncomfortable to look at.

I don’t like Heart radio. Unfortunately the others in the office I recently joined do and it’s on all day.
The music is horrible. There is nothing that gets played that is enjoyable to me. The playlist seems to be 4 songs which are on repeat constantly.
The DJ’s and the chat is inane and almost all celebrity gossip based.
My old office played Absolute which, although not perfect was much more my cup of tea. I can’t wear headphones, I’m tempted to sabotage the radio and sit in silence instead

Go see HR. Ask for your Autism to be taken into account? The music is horrible. There is nothing that gets played that is enjoyable to me. The playlist seems to be 4 songs which are on repeat constantly.

Buy industrial ear defenders.
When I was a production manager in a factory, I smashed a radio, in front of my staff. It was louder than the machine that someone had put it on, and when I got the elf and safety man to do a noise check it pushed the area above the legal max, so in our next stand up meeting, I asked if anyone wanted to claim ownership? No?
Anyone absent ? No? Sure it belongs to no body here ? Right. Pass me that hammer. I've asked that it be turned down, or put onto radio 3, and someone keeps turning it up and putting it on century FM.
Smash. SMASH. SMASH. Pass the bin.
I had 6 people come see me privately to thank me and a bloke on nights text me to ask me where his Radio was.
It broke. But feel free to bring another one in. That might break too. Wife said I went too far.
It was at that point I went to see HR and asked to move back to my previous job.

Why do people even listen to music radio? It is all, without exception, unrelentingly awful. In addition to that, I cannot conceive of wanting to have a radio on whilst I'm working. Apart from maybe Radio 4, and only then at limited times.
Listening to 6 Music is a big part of my life. I much prefer radio to choosing things for myself. And yes I do appreciate we have ways of listening other than CD/records. I've enjoyed reading this thread, I may not agree with some posts and I'm OK with that. Time to get a few things out into the open.....
Take That - The fawning over this utter shower of s
te is what pisses me off the most, they are the epitome of bland. 
Air Cooled Volkswagens - I've always said £10 of petrol and a lit match on the outside would improve a Beetle.
Motorbikes - Nope, zero appeal. The same for Moto GP/WSB/BSB.
Football Snobbery - I support a League Two team that is across the river from a city with two Premier League teams. It seems I know nothing about football and I should forsake my beloved club for a soulless overhyped giant.
My next door neighbours - You may have learning disabilities and that affords you some rights, but you have the responsibility of not behaving like aholes for the last twelve years.
My Parents - You know what you did in how you treated me as a child, and a few others did as well. Satan will go to work on ski's before I forgive you.

^ You need to seek help, mainly on the last bit.
Cigar smokers - not the actual cigars but the people who smoke them. I once found myself in one of those smoking rooms in London, very expensive and filled with pompous, irritating, company director types. All puffing like Ivor the Engine as if their life depended on it.
Don't tell me you actually like smoking that. It's just a life style nothing to do with actual enjoyment of the cigar, although they all extol the virtues of this or that. Of course, it's what they do.
I'd imagine It's what a BT&P would be like!

I hear you on the football team. I support a provincial L1 team and have been a season ticket holder there for about 40 years. Talk to people down the pub about football and when they enquire as to who you support (after you’ve commented on the game on the telly the night before in less than complimentary fashion thus sleighting ‘their’ team) they say but yeah, who’s your proper team.Take That - The fawning over this utter shower of s

Provincial L1 team. 
True.
Who do you support?
Plymouth Argyle
What league are they in then? (Usually from someone who lives in the South West or a place that has a team in the Championship)
It's the Championship.
Oh, Who do you support in the Premiership?
All joking aside, totally agree with you Ant.

Them: "So who do you support?"
Me: "Yeovil Town".

Sigh.
