Help settle a discussion between between me and my husband.
I think scraping your cutlery on your plate is the equivalent of licking your plate.. The foods gone, no need for all of the scraping to get every last morsel of food in your gob!
He thinks my intolerance to food noises is getting out of hand.
I will admit I've always been sensitive to people chewing/slurping but regardless I still believe scraping is bad table manners, anyone else, or am I really being unreasonable?

  • For context we have had chicken salad for dinner, he had finished but was scraping mayonnaise left on the plate onto his fork.

The sound of people eating.

Kids screeching.

The sound my cats and dog make when grooming themselves, I love them but that sound really grates on me!

Anjo2011 · 26/08/2024 20:40

Snoring.

BetterThings · 26/08/2024 20:37

Same @Blanketpolicy I cannot abide the sound of metal scrapping on metal. I ask people not to scrape their cutlery. If they do, I don't invite them back. It causes a physical disgust and rage, I get goosebumps thinking about it.

Eldest DC HATES a plate scrape.

Licking 🤢

Could people put trigger warnings before posting about spitting please? I might vomit, cannot even read about it. ⚠️

That bffvvv noise they play to show off the Dolby sound at the beginning of the cinema. Its supposed to sound deep and modern and edgy and probably feel it on the seats. It just makes me feel like someone needs to turn the volume down.

IndigoIsMyFavouriteColour · 26/08/2024 20:32

owls. We have two that live near us and they do off-timed 'woohoos' into the night and its really hard to sleep

DormantDragon · 26/08/2024 20:30

Today I discovered my abhorrent hatred of buskers. 4 different ones with opposing genres belting out at the maximum volume along one high street. An assault of my senses was an understatement,

I also admit I am hormone enraged today!

People whistling

That really high-pitched tuneless whistling practiced by men of a certain age? OMG yes 🤫

Oh I feel your pain. Misophonia is worse than PMT!

Show quote history

It's also 100 times more amplified when I HAVE PMT 😂

Loud eaters/drinkers
Whistlers or people that randomly sing in public (i.e complete stranger belting out The Greatest Love of All right beside you while you're both looking at fitted sheets in Dunelm Mill - just...why?)
Children screaming indoors for absolutely no reason whatsoever.
Motorbikes/sports cars revving up very late at night/early in the morning
People that insist on sniffing rather than blowing their damned nose.
The constant thump thump thump of the basketball in a drive or football against a fence when you're trying to relax in the garden.
The long scrape of chairs in Starbucks/Costa/Garden Centre Cafes when useless parents are letting their tiny children drag them as a form of entertainment.
Whispering loudly.
People (or their children) watching stuff on a phone/tablet without headphones. Ten thousand times worse when it's someone watching porn on public transport.

I'm ND and have misophonia so...there's a lot. Some totally irrational.

SpinningOutWaitingForYa · 26/08/2024 20:21

We have dogs so I'm not adverse to them.

Next door's dog is left in the house and barks non-stop when they go out. Like this evening. Two hours and counting. Drives me crazy!

Ohdearyme72 · 26/08/2024 20:20

I have misophonia, so does DD. You can imagine the fun we have when the crisps come out - NOT!

RickyGervaislovesdogs · 26/08/2024 20:19

Sinus clearing- women do it too.
Scraping and licking plates or cutlery unless you aren’t human
Children screaming
foxes screaming at night
chairs being dragged across the floor- pick it up ffs.
sniffing, coughing, occasionally even humans breathing makes me stabby.
Fireworks- should be banned.

Greenfinch7 · 26/08/2024 20:19

All of these, plus knuckle cracking, which just can't bear.

TokyoSushi · 26/08/2024 20:16

Snoring. Hideous.

Poachedeggavocado · 26/08/2024 20:09

So many on here feel my pain. DH scraping every last sliver off his plate makes me very stabby. As does using plates as a chopping board you lazy git. I know have misophonia so happy to admit I also hate rustling carrier bags, chewing, sniffing, dripping taps, DH thudding about the house (why must he make his presence so KNOWN?) and that yapping dog accross the road. Feel sorry for it but that yap yap yap for hour after.hour grrrrr.

I use plates as a chopping board as I feel like chopping boards are never truly clean 😁

ManchesterLu · 26/08/2024 20:13

I don't like mouth noises. DP sometimes does these really loud swallows that piss me off. DSS does this weird lip licking thing CONSTANTLY, so if we're sitting in the living room reading or doing something quiet, it's ALL I can hear. Or he sucks on the ends of his hair. He's also a really, really noisy eater, eats with his mouth open, really sloppy, chewy noises. It's absolutely soul destroying and makes me want to smash things. He's 21 ffs. It makes me want to turn into one of those evil stepmothers people talk about and banish him to the shed 😅.

lovemycbf · 26/08/2024 20:12

Someone hoiking phlegm then spitting it out
I just can't cope and it makes me want to throw up 🤢
And incessant sniffing I could scream at someone keep doing it 😩

MindYourManors · 26/08/2024 20:11

Dripping taps.
Next door's wind chimes. Three different ones - a wooden one, a tinkling metal one and one sounds like a bike bell 😖

That piercing scream that little kids do just for the sake of it

Ditto teenage girls.

Thighdentitycrisis · 26/08/2024 20:09

yappy dogs, my DP’s jaw clicking when he eats, ( entirely not his fault)

Jennyathemall · 26/08/2024 20:09

The sound people make when they speak.

BurglarAndSwag · 26/08/2024 20:07

The sound of the cell door slamming at the start of Porridge...

Ronnie Barker was very funny but the opening credits always put the wind up me - as did Bender Harris. 😳

Username12284949 · 26/08/2024 20:06

Chewing
Crunching
Coughing
Sniffing
Nail biting
Fork hitting teeth
Slurping
Dogs barking
Balls bouncing
Door/gate banging repeatedly in the wind

Teeth grinding

I hate that I'm like this!!!
