to think that men are just fucking noisy and I am not "sensitive" to noise?

[PyongyangKipperbang]

2 (ex) husbands. 2 Sons. 4 Daughters.

Every single man I have shared a house with has been so sodding noisy! Why simply open a door when you can wrench it open and slam it shut?! Why walk when you can stomp?!

My BIL, my father, my partner (we dont live together by choice), all noisy. My DD's, my sister, my mother, me....we just dont galump around like rhino's on acid.

And no, its not weight or size. Some of the women are larger/heavier than some of the men and yet still seem to manage to navigate their way through the world without sounding like they are invading a nation.

Sick to bloody death of youngest DS (17) wrenching his bedroom door off the hinges, stomping into the bathroom, slamming the doors, stomping down the stairs..... Got cross tonight and he said "yeah, dad said you are oversensitive to noise". FFS, I am a metal fan! Loud noise does not bother me, but unneccessary loud noise does! DS's dad is 2 inches shorter than me, and when we were married, weighed less than me but still managed to make more noise than the audience at a Taylor Swift gig...ok exaggerating but you get the point.

Men are big brutes that clomp around and break things in your house. I agree that it’s possible for them to control. They just don’t for some reason.

Dont get me started on breaking things.....

There are lots but one I remember most. I saw some glasses I loved in M&S, we were on a low income at the time so I saved up (20 years ago now) and I bought them. Beautiful they were. Sort of martini shaped but wine glasses with gold flecks in the glass. I said to exDH to not touch them, I would wash them and put them back in the box and keep them safe. He broke so many glasses.

I bought them for Xmas and we used them on Xmas day and guess what....he "helpfully" washed them and broke one. I had a very expensive set of 4 glasses for about 3 hours. I cried and he said I over reacted so I got the rest and smashed them to pieces into the bin. Not my finest moment but it finally got through that it meant something to me and that, by not listening, he had ruined it.

but then this was the man who decided that the perfect present for my 30th was a lawnmower because"we need a new one".

All the women in my family are way noisier and clumsier than the men. My sister is the noisiest person I know. She does nothing quietly, ever.

Oh come now.

Your post doesn't fit the general misandry on this site.

@VeniVidiWeeWee it's easy to forget that when one man does something like making a noise, some people want us to hate all men because that's a man thing.

A lawnmower for your bday! That made me LOL

Re: breaking things. My husband is very bad at anything requiring fine motor skills. I’m our handyperson to assemble, fix things, and do anything requiring finesse, otherwise he’ll break items using ham-hands or trying to force it. This is not me being uptight. It’s just a fact that’s been demonstrated time and again. I’m also aware this isn’t an all men thing. He’s played sports like mad his whole life and is quite good at them, but never took up any delicate crafts and so perhaps never properly developed normal tactile abilities.

"misandry" is a made up word. Made up by men who don't like to be called on their shit, and used by their handmaidens as part of their pick me dance.

That is all.

Interesting. We are currently on holiday and I said to DH yesterday how annoying it is to have to listen to loud men everywhere you go. So many times we are in a restaurant or coffee shop and bam, Mr Noisy sits nearby. I’m not even talking next table, the guy yesterday was half an outside restaurant away and we could still hear every word he said.

Omg the stomping - DH makes the whole of the house shake when he struts through the lower floor to get to the loo. And the breaking things! Curiously it's never his fault, but even more curiously these things never seem to happen to me (recent example was the front door lock that he used to slam with abandon). He has at least got better with his flailing limbs when we go to bed and no longer accidentally clocks me/chucks stuff around. Total bull in a china shop

Love this statement.

Me too!

You haven't mentioned the sneezing! With gratuitous shout.

My husband also stomps. Although he denies he does. We live in a flat - our downstairs neighbour must hate us.

It’s about taking up space because they can, isn’t it. Letting everyone know they are around. Clomp Clomp around places and braying their opinions in public places because they can and they like to dominate. Yes, NAMALT, but the ones who are fill the space. Actual Space, Headspace, the Atmosphere.

My dh is loud when cooking - banging pots/doors. And he bangs his cutlery on his bowl/plate when eating which is awful. But me and my dds talk loudly so we drown him out!

I do not miss this.

Ex could wear through a pair of shoes in a few months. I always said it's because he didn't walk in them, but stomps everywhere.

Different man, new relationship. The first night he stayed over, he smashed the ceramic liquid soap dispenser in the bathroom. I was so pissed off as it was part of a set that wasn't available anymore. He said he felt bad, didn't try find a replacement, but left money on the side for me to trawl around looking for a replacement. The relationship didn't last. Not for that reason but it has bugged me ever since. I now have an odd set. 😆

I tied a sock around my ds's door handles to stop him slamming the door. It was a whole lot easier diy wise for me rather than taking the hinges off which is what I wanted to do. But it proved my point that he could close a door quietly.

You wouldn’t put up with a noisy neighbour.
Contact the council and insist on the offending people being rehoused.
😉😁😁😁

My ex was like this. The loudest sneezes I have ever heard in my life. A phone conversation would reverberate around the whole house. Loud throat clearing. And my particular big bear....going up the stairs. Had to make some kind of noise on every step .. like a musical accompaniment. And don't get me started on the eating. Chomp chomp mmm slurp lip lip smack etc etc. I ended up having to prepare myself mentally for the noise that was about to come depending on the activity. I now LOVE the peace of my new single life.

Some men are arrogant insensitive dick heads. They are not "noisy". They are just used to taking up more than their share of the space in the world.

With bigotry and prejudice like yours it is quite obvious why the word needed to be made up.

My dad, brother, brother in law, grandfather, uncles and male cousins are all perfectly normal, sound-wise. You wouldn’t know they’re in the house unless you were in the room with them. My dad in particular needs a collar with a bell, like a cat.

And yet I have saddled myself with the other kind of man in DP, who has never met a staircase he hasn’t GALLOPED UP. Floorboards shake. Walls shake. I don’t know what it is he does to leave the house but it’s not “open and shut the door” judging from the noise. There’s a constant soundtrack. Plus performative sneezing. I’d say he slams cupboard doors and drawers too but he leaves all those open. He has broken five chairs in our seven-year relationship, though. And I no longer buy vintage glasses.

Interesting point. Speaking of atmosphere, it’s men who wear so much nasty perfume that you literally choke on the air around them. I can’t remember the last time that happened to me from a woman.

Yes. I’ve known a lot of men like this. NAMALT blah blah blah. But generally it seems to me men are much more likely to make gratuitous noise without consideration for others. Like a PP said - taking up space because they can.

My FIL whistles. Constant, monotonous whistling. Nearly all the time except when he’s eating, talking or sleeping. I find it absolutely unbearable. Apparently their neighbours have complained in the past so it isn’t just me. But still he does it. He’s aware of what an unpleasant sound it is but he does it all the time because he can. And my MIL doesn’t tell him to bloody well stop it because it’s his right as a man to make whatever noise he likes.

My uncle and my DH both hum, but that kind of humming where your lips are slightly open and it sounds a bit like a trumpet. My uncle was staying with us last weekend and one of them was in the kitchen humming and the other was in the dining room humming. Different ‘tunes’ obviously. It was like a surround sound ear assault.

And don’t get me started on the WAAACHOOO sneezes!

It’s not so much the stomping, because I suspect I also stomp - but car doors. Why does every man I know shut car doors so forcefully? It really really bugs me. I know nothing is going to happen to the door, but it’s like they shut them extra firmly just to be on the safe side. I swear sometimes I can feel the wind from the door whip my hair about.
