Bubble Wrap...Relaxing or Annoying?

I remember hearing somewhere that poping bubble wrap is supposed to relieve stress. I have a co-worker that LOVES to do this, everyone actually saves every piece they find and save it for her. I've done it and quickly get annoyed/bored with it, but when I hear someone else do it, it drives me nuts!
So this lady is poping away one by one and then twists a big piece and it's pop,pop,pop, ect. Good thing our shifts only overlap about 30 min. or I might of lost it by now

So what do you think? Stress reliever or stress producer?

back when i had time for all that, it was very relaxing when i was the cause of the noise and very nerve racking when someone else was doing it.

Yeah, I've always liked doing it. I really like the wrap with the big bubbles. I also like to drag my fingernails down the chalkboard, but for some reason it drives everyone else nuts when I do it... -TD

here's one. At work, and if it is the stuff with large bubbles, we would sneak up behind the fork lift when it's stopped and we know that the driver has to back up, we'll lay down a large sheet of it right behind the rear tire. Nice sound effects.
