If Dh does nto fucking stop crunching those fucking crisps I may just fucking scream at him.

Am I being unreasonable?

My mother would be furious every morning about 6 am, when my step dad stirred his coffee. She was in her bedroom, he was down the hallway in the kitchen, but she could hear it, it woke her and she swore he did it on purpose. "Why not close her door"?, Asks innocent self. Because she has to hear if dear step brother (toddler) wakes up, that is why, I was told in a tone insinuating I was completely brainless. "Could dsf not open the door again when he is leaving for work"? I wonder...
"No, because what if he forgot?"

I've found my soul mates. And a new word - misophonia.

The big bites of apple do it - I could kill DH for it.

Sucking of fingers after eating, especially when that person is speaking to you on the phone...bleurgh.

Whistling. The work of the devil.

I might allow the noisy crisps, but only if they were prawn cocktail, which you can to get in Australia.

Whistling is indeed the work of the devil. Why is there not a law against it? There's not exactly a point to it is there, other than making me feel a little violent!

I remember a ridiculous idiom from my yoof, about whistling: "A whistling woman and a crowing hen are neither good for god nor men!". How brilliant is that!

My mum always rings me when she is chomping on something.

The noise of anyone eating, crunching, sniffing or clanking cutlery makes me want to hurt them.

Ive shared a desk at work with a lovely woman, and her cough sweets, not only do they stink, they take ages to eat, I dont know whats worse, the smell, the banging against the teeth or the crunching.

I will snap one day

oh lord, the click click clicking of sweets against teeth.

aaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

(I sleep with ear plugs in not only because of DH's snoring, but also because of his breathing noises - poor man has no chance!)

JasperJohns I wish to kiss you! I didnt know what Misophonia was so I did a Google and that is me to a T!!! Must look up some more info.

OP YANBU! I find a remote control to the head shuts them up

I cant be in the same room as DH when he chomps and crunches his way through a bowl of bombay mix. I have to sit on my hands to stop some awful outcome happening in the heat of the moment. Actually, I'm sure no jury would ever convict me should they be presented with the evidence of such provocation.

However, I did once eat a very juicy ripe pear while chatting to my friend at the kitchen table. Once I'd finished (only the stalk was left), she said "Remind me never to sit in your company while you eat a pear ever again" . I genuinely didn't notice my own shlurping.

I nearly murdered my brother's French exchange as a teenager, because of the way he shovelled his cereal about during breakfast. Like mixing cement:

Shovel, stir, slurp.

Crunch, crunch.

Shovel, shovel.

Stir, shovel.

Pause.

Stir, slurp, crunch.

Repeat for 20 minutes.

AAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHH!!!!!

I'm so glad it's not just my husband. Any snacks like that are unbearably noisy and as for an apple - he sounds like a horse! I now have teenage daughters who tell him off. This is wonderful as he takes it from them whereas from me - well - I'm just being unreasonable of course!

I cannot be in the same room as my dad when he is eating a biscuit. In fact, a few months ago, I was on their computer, searching holidays for them or some shit, and he came in holding a club. There was no escape. Honest to God I nearly screamed and slapped the club out of his hand. Once he'd started masticating, I had to resist the urge to hit him with my cup of tea.

He also called our house once and DH answered. He was silently pissing himself laughing because apparently my dad was eating a kitkat and DH knows if I'd answered, I'd have hung up.

I hear that noise in my nightmares.

"I sleep with ear plugs in not only because of DH's snoring, but also because of his breathing noises - poor man has no chance!)"

I wonder- have you ever done the vicious elbow jab gentle poke in his side because his breathing sounds like he's just about to start snoring? No? Just me?

DH is a Noisy Eater. He is very good, bless him, about being glared at/tutted at/having a wife who abruptly leaves the room when he starts masticating

I have not yet mentioned the cashew nut eating to him though. I fear that might be a step too far. (I'll tell you though, just to vent a little).

He bites each cashew nut in half before noisily eating each piece, thus doubling the crunch time of a bag oa nuts. And he makes a sort of little squirrel mouth to do it, too.

Just as well I luvs him, really.

Shodan, I nudge, kick, shove, push, bash and eventually screech - to no avail. The snoring continues. I sometimes sleep in the spare bed but DH reckons it is bad for our marriage - I reckon what is WORSE for our marriage is a highly annoyed and knackered me because I am unable to sleep due to his snoring.

DH had the gall to video me while I was snoring one night!! I have pointed out to him that the difference between us, is that his snoring keeps me awake whereas mine is gentle and melodic and has no impact on his sleeping at all.

Alliwant do you have to have specific ear plugs to sleep in?

I found myself googling this very question recently at 2am when elbow pokes were no longer proving effective on dp. I wasn't sure if the £40 "sleep" earplugs were designed specifically to rip off people as desperate as me at stupid times of the morning!

YANBU. Pet hate of mine is loud eating. I HATE it.

My dad eating an orange. Drives. me. up. the. wall! He has a whole routine around it, feet planted square on the floor, plate positioned in between to catch the drips. Then slurrrrp, slurrrrp, slurrrrp for about half an hour!

I had to leave home!

Oh thank God, I'm not alone in this. I loathe noisy eaters, especially the slurpy, lip-smacking ones. I literally walk out of the room if DH is about to start snacking on something like crisps or something he can slurp on like Cup-A-Soups.

DH used to have a friend who came round quite a lot and often had dinner with us (that's another story by itself), and by all that's holy, I wanted to strangle that man. It got so bad that I started eating by myself in the bedroom so I didn't have to see, or hear, his oversized lips smacking away on whatever happened to be served up that night.

Thankfully, they had a falling out and I don't have to listen to it any more.

One of the worst things is people eating yoghurts and frantically scraping at the bottom of the pot with a spoon! FFS. It makes steam come out of my ears.

And the lady in accounts with the fucking date stamp on her invoices....ggnnggggnnnhhh! Not eating but still annoying. Goes on for hours. One of these days she will be leaving work with the date stamped all over her forehead.

How did the interview go OP?

YANBU by the way. My husband eats yogurts every night and makes the most disgusting slurping and gulping noises. He licks the lid and the pot. By the time he's finished I want to beat him to death with it.

Eugh! Noisy eating is the worst. DH does this and it's worse if he gets home late and is really hungry- that sort of snorty, heavy breathing and chomping.

My DM has a habit of talking whilst eating. Bless her but it annoys the hell out of me. She waits until she has a mouthful and then says something. I make a point of waiting until I've finished my food before replying.

A woman at work eats mints all the time and talks whilst sliding them around her gob and smacking her lips. In meetings. I can see other people on edge too. I think that's the worst as I'm even more uptight at work.

My daughter had a crisp sandwhich for lunch today (sigh @ crisp sandwhich ) i had to leave the room i couldnt cope i could feel a lot of my nerves tingling , My dad is the worse I think that is where i got my thing from he slurps and smacks his way through everything , mealtimes as a child was torture ,

Yanbu cannot stand crunching/smacking noises!!!!
