DH is eating cereal and I want to kill him

[annonymousse]

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

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.

Of course she was 😉

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.

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.

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 🤣🤣🤣

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

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.

Best comment yet! 🤣🏆

Well-done for not murdering her.
I've got a slurper. He drinks the milk from the bowl at the end and makes a noise doing it and some of it dribbles. Reminds me of the dog licking up the last remnants of the bowl.

I'm a clanger though so I know I'm not perfect. It's that bad my dad asked if I was in Australia yet and MIL yelled "who is doing that??" I don't even know how to stop, I'm enjoying myself so much I get a bit lost. So I haven't stabbed DH yet because I know I'm just as bad.

I hear you

You want to try sitting next to my MiL when she's enjoying a bowl of Bombay Mix 😡

I'm loving everyone's stories. It's nice to know I'm not alone.

Oh God I hear ya. Mine scrunches his weetabix with his hand before he pours the milk on. He has one, in a tiny bowl. Then does that up to 4 times a day.

he does this ‘clear his throat plus one cough’ very very regularly.

I could do time for this someday

Misophonia.

I've had it since birth but never realised until adulthood that wanting to stab or strangle someone who slurps, crunches, sniffs or breathes noisily was down to the condition. Thankfully my DH is marginally better these days, having come from a boarding school background, where his eating style is a cross between a garden shredder and a cement mixer.

i feel your pain, @annonymousse cereal and milk is just the worst combo, slurping and crunching

daily crisp and tortilla chip chomping and shovelling huge amounts of food into his mouth are two of the joys I live with. I keep the tv louder than necessary to drown out some of the noise!

My husband chews yoghurt and ice cream. How is that possible? The fucking noise.
I can’t be near him if he’s eating crisps or anything like that either - it’s not just the crunching, he does this really annoying sloppy chewy eating noise at the same time and it makes me want to cry.

I have two DGC who come for breakfast during the week and I can't bear the noise either. We have the radio on all the time and I give them chocohoops which get quieter as they get soggy. Then we have the slurping of the the milk from the bowl. I've taken to tipping it into their glass once the cereal has gone.

I would actually vomit if DC did that.

I can't bear to watch DC do this, let alone listen.

I totally get you OP. My hubby fills his cereal bowl to the brim with milk and between eating it, spends his time clanking his spoon on the sides of the dish, trying to 'drown' each and every piece of cereal in the milk. Drives me nuts, I can hear him from every room in the mornings 😡

Jesus I’d have to stab him.

I can only be in the same room has anyone that's eating if I'm also eating.

Wg

Which Loop ear plugs do you have? I need this....😅
