AIBU to hate the way dp drinks tea?!

[InsultingBadger]

Huge slurp in
Swallow 1
Swallow 2
Swallow 3
Swallow 4

4 swallows for 1 huge mouthful!

Looks like it is hereditary - dd 2.10 does it too.. Help meeeeeeee!

I think the tracheostomy tube thing is quite common among HCPs.
It's like an alarm. Especially when the bubbling is accompanied by a bonging sats monitor.

I'm so glad there is a proper name for the EXTREME rage I suffer when anyone eats near me, mind you my work colleagues eat like pigs anyway which doesn't help. I literally have to exercise mind over matter to avoid jumping up and punching them all in the head to make them shut up!!!!

Following on from my dad messing with my environment by pushing my sofa cushion forward . . .

also don't like anyone knocking my chair or tapping their foot on it or bashing against the sofa when Im sitting on it or leaning over me or leaning on my shoulder or chair.

Just fuck off out of my environment!

I defy anyone to sit in a room with my DM eating a bowl of peanuts or Bombay mix and not feel murderous.

Also, I have a friend who drinks wine in such a way that makes me want to hit her repeatedly until she vows to drink normally. She takes a large mouthful of wine, holds it in her mouth for several seconds before swallowing. Just why?

Ok

My name is Jaufre and I have misophonia.

DM had it. My sister has an early memory of sucking a pack of wotsits to avoid the rage.

After falling for DH I went to his family's for a meal. The horror. All without exception eat like ravenous cave men. Worst is SIL who can swallow a LARGE roast meal in 3 minutes flat while talking too loudly, then wipes her fingers in an intense OCD manner around the plate to collect every last spot of gravy and licks them! Then swallows a glass of water and CRUNCHES THE ICE CUBES WITH HER MOUTH OPEN. I usually spend the meal eating with my head down trying to disconnect my ears from my brain.

Advice to fellow sufferers, never, ever go to Japan. Slurping of scalding hot tea and food is the norm and you may die or go postal as a result. TV ads feature eating and drinking noises (and the post swallow exhale - aaaaaaaah!) very loud in the sound mix. I remember sitting in a fast food restaurant after a night on the tiles and being reduced to tears because there was a guy on the other side of the restaurant slurping noodles.

I have tried to keep this post brief but now realised I have a novel's worth of material. I haven't even got onto DH's jaw click when he yawns.

I feel so muh better for sharing. Thanks MN. Years of weight off my shoulders.

AND we used to say SIL would be cured when (if) she found a boyfriend who would train her to eat. Guess what? She bought home someone with equally vile eating habits and now they're jeffing married!! Aaagh. Another one round the table!!

I can't be in the room when my Mum drinks tea. She doesn't tip the cup up enough to pour the drink into her mouth. She tips it slightly and slurps hard and with great volume to get it into her mouth. She swallows several times and then LICKS THE SIDE OF THE CUP. The slurping leaves a dribble you see.

I have a friend who makes all manner of mmmmm noises when eating. She sucks, licks and generally mouths the cutlery with eyes closed in pleasure. If I wanted to see a woman fellate a spoon, I'd join a club ffs. STOP.

i used to think everyone got as wound up as me about noises then realised that actually, nobody did. i cant eat in the same room as my mum, her jaw makes this weird clicky noise. my dad overfills his mouth then has to breathe hard through it. my absolute worst noise is the sound of keys clicking on keyboard. i cannot stand it and have to sit at work with my hands over my ears to block this one girl out. thinking of investing in earplugs

Yup, I'm another who can't bear certain tones/eating noises.

I work with about fifteen women in an open plan office, when they all decide to go on a diet together it's constant grazing on apples, carrots, celery that I can hear chomping of from the other side of the room and makes me want to kill them. But it's me that's weird so have to keep schtum.

If people eat while they're on the phone to me they get told to call back

My dp uses tea as mouth wash and then swallows it with 3 large gulps. I could eat my fist when he does it.

Wtf is that clicky sleep noise??? My dp does that too and I usually hold a pillow over his head when he does it

DH's clicky sleep noise is him breathing out through a closed mouth Crumpet, it's like a sharp 'puh', I just lay there waiting for it like a dripping tap

'I could eat my fist when he does it.'

Surely it'd make more sense for him to eat your fist?

JustThis, my dad looms standing behind where you're sat. Comes into a room and like leans on the back of your chair or just stands there for no reason at all. He doesn't, but he may as well be reading over your shoulder.

I must be really lucky not to be around people who eat like pigs so noisily, because the eating habits described on the thread are enough to drive anyone to distraction.

I am massively intolerant of eating noises and bad table manners too.

I have had to come upstairs and get into the bath because my son is slurping a hot chocolate.

I have a colleague who has a sandwich & a packet of crisps for lunch. She opens the crisp packet flat on her desk. This makes me murderous for some reason. Then she proceeds to chuck it all in to her cement mixer gob whilst chatting non stop.

I have to go out to avoid it.

Our offices are being refurbed and there will be a 'no eating at your desk' policy. I am delighted.

My dp said he finds it hard not to eat with his m

..mouth open as he can't breathe through his nose

I actually like the sound of teeth being brushed! And don't mind the noise of Apple's being crunched.

What melts me to my very core is the noisy shouty yawns people do!

Not an eating thing, but DH has nose hairs that whistle with his sleep breathing through it. The sounds are the same pitch as a child crying and I often wake with a start and have to listen to see if its his nose or DS2. The weirdo, he must have a veritable thicket up there.

DropYourSword. I do those loud yawns! Or i least i used to but I've learnt that it really pisses off my dh . . . particularly when i do it when he's falling asleep!

DD1 does the overly loud sneezing thing

Were sat relaxing in front of the box, then AAAACHOOOOOO

No fucking need.

Yes nation - I read the synesthesia info last night and I see number sand timelines in space and give objects, numbers and words personalities too! What a revelation this had been!

Thank you all so much! This thread is so reassuring!

On reading your posts I have realised I have serious special issues too... Cannot stand people leaning on my chair, sitting with legs touching mine, reading over my shoulder

Just had a flash back of a colleague who ate a large bar of chocolate by breaking off a line and dipping it in her hot chocolate, then sucking it off, dipping again...

Tea slurping - rage
Crunching - rage
Taking a mouthful of food midway through a sentence then nodding, gesticulating and masticating furiously (yes, DH, I mean YOU) - rage
Licking every finger with a slurping noise while eating a packet of crisps as two of my work colleagues have wont to do - Homicidal Rage

Oh dear!

Nothing to do with tea but my DP often says things like he is breathing out or makinga big statement. It's hard to explain without hearing him but it is so annoying!!

Oh people in your space? Altering your own little environment? Eugh. If I show something to dh on my computer, I have to physically hand him the computer and let him look at a safe distance. If he shuffles over, leans in, generally creates shadows over me and dips in the sofa, I feel all discombobulated. And people looming over my space. Move, just move.

I am not very good with people and their general signs of existence tbh.
