All day long, it doesn't bother me at all! If it were dripping ON me then it'd be a different story
-
for about 20 seconds before I take to it with a wrench!!
-
The length of time it takes me to dash over to it and turn it off. No more.

Well, assuming I am sane to start with is a bit of a push, but about 5 minutes. My bedroom is right by the bathroom, and all I ever here is 'drip, drip, drip, meow (thats the cat, I don't have weird meowing taps, though now I kind of wish I did...) drip, drip, drip, ARGGGGHHHH! (me) drip, drip, crash (fall over the hoover) drip, drip, screeeeeech (I have really old taps), scilence... ARGGGHHHHH! (trip over it again), GET YOUR ARSE TO BED! (my mum), silence... (I lie down), 2 minutes later: drip, drip...

Depends on where it is. If it's in the bathroom my by bedroom, and I can hear it when I lay in bed, I wouldn't be able to take it very long. However, it it's in the downstairs bath, or kitchen, and I CAN'T hear it in my room - no problem - it could probably be there for years before I really noticed it!

I have a dripping toilet... I've done the same as boredasmustard every night since I moved here... meows included!!! but w/o mom.

Luckily my sanity is questionable at the best of times but a tap dripping like any other repetitive noise would tip me over the edge in minutes. I really am hopeless with taps dripping and central heating ticking, air conditioning etc. . Gosh I am a hopeless case altogether, maybe I need permanent earplugs or a padded cell
