Obviously this is lighthearted but jeez the crunching and slurping is unreal.

Mine brushes his teeth with a huge amount of toothpaste, then follows me around talking through the tooth brushing. It’s beyond awful

In our house teeth brushing is a private activity, done behind a locked bathroom door. I don't wanna see toothpaste froth in or around someone's gob, thank you very much.

Mine can't take a sip of a drink with out swirling it first. Every time.

Summervibes24 · 20/07/2024 20:13

Since peri I get the rage when DH is eating in the lounge whilst I'm watching tv. Pistachios are the worst -it's a long performance,
there's all the shell breaking then the munching - drives me nuts 🤣

Is this why I get suggestions on my fb page of solo camper van holidays? And I don't even own a camper van 🤣🤣🤣

We now have banned cereal and eat yogurt and fruit instead. Not toasted bread also allowed. Better for our health with the added benefit of not getting stabbed with a breadknife before work.

I sit next to a (lovely) woman at work who loves crisps but is on a diet so makes them last.
Starts with lips parting like a codfish over closed teeth. Single crisp inserted into tiny teeth gap and nibbled millimetre by millimetre using only the front four teeth.
Some smushing and smacking and sucking then repeat.
Stenchy crisps too. Like Beef n Onion.

I’ve had misophonia since childhood.

I’ve also had two husbands and this is one of the reasons why there will NOT be a third.

My next door neighbour currently has a male house guest and MY GOD the noise level. I want to spear him. We’re separated by walls.

DreamTheMoors · 20/07/2024 19:38

My ex used to sit at the computer in his bathrobe and Uggs with a glass of scotch and eat crunchy bran Os out of the box.
At 9 in the morning.
Christ what an asshole.
I’m sorry I opened this thread because now I’m pissed off all over again.

Don't do it. Think about how many people you'll have to listen to eating cereal in prison. 😁

I’m really surprised this lasted four pages before this was said !! Well done, you win the internet for today !!

HoppityBun · 20/07/2024 19:28

Toast. Chewed slowly and deliberately, resounding in the nasal atrium so loudly you’d think they’re a horse. Crisps. That hollow echoing sound as the mouth closes over each and every flake. Misphonia in spades. I feel your pain.

It’s always the bloody slurping!! WHYYYY

The thought of hearing slurping turns my stomach, typing the word was bad enough.

Are you menopausal or peri-menopausal? Same happened to me and didn't get better til I was on HRT! Xx

Ithoughtitwasyou · 20/07/2024 19:20

It's the incessant clonking of the spoon against the bowl that gives me the rage.

Also when DH has a packet of crisps or a bar of chocolate, he has to fold the VERY CRACKLEY wrapper into the tiniest square he can.
The thing is he doesn't realise he is doing it, until I pull him up on it. The misophonia is strong in me.

My exMIL did this the one and only time I went on holiday with her, it was horrendous.

Also making a huge amount of noise going to the loo in the night but not flushing so she didn't wake us !!!

loobylou10 · 20/07/2024 19:16

Oh my god, it's salad for me. I actually could murder him - I have to leave the room.

It's pot noodle type things with DH. He loves them but always insists on eating them when they're still too hot so all I hear is him blowing three times on each forkful before he slurps and chomps the noodles. He always buys ones that absolutely stink too.

DP can never wait for food to cool down.

The noises he makes as he attempts to eat and not let the food touch any part of his mouth are indescribable.

AutumnBride · 20/07/2024 19:14

DP was drinking (clearly far too hot) tea this morning, I kid you not I thought there was a tap running.

GeneralMusings · 20/07/2024 19:11

Ah my people (waiting for asd assessment...)

Summerose · 20/07/2024 11:29

Yes!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Why do they do that???

Show quote history

Not to mention the scraping of every last bit of gravy off the plate with a knife, and the associated slurping sounds !!

Omg! Same when my mother (only my mother bizarrely) eats apples I genuinely want to commit a heinous crime!

Show quote history

OMG. When my partner bites into an apple he kind of sucks the juice before he bites right the way through. It’s a sucking, slurping sound, followed by a sort of strangled swallowing sound. Makes me feel stabby !!

Rosscameasdoody · 20/07/2024 19:06
