DAE feel like their head is going to explode, or that they want to jump out of their spine when people make food noises?

The Kit-Kat TV commercial where they use crunching noises and other percussion sounds to generate the theme song makes me want to throw a brick through the television.

Misophonia. Someone else posted a link. I have it, it's very common, and there's various internet support groups. Once you know what it is, it's easier to deal with. Please tell your husband. I told my boyfriend and he's been very respectful and eager to help me feel comfortable at all times. He knows not chew gum or mouth breathe when he's around me, it's quickly becoming second nature to him to not do these things. But unfortunately, you can't just control what everyone around you does, so you have to have coping methods. Go to www.rainymood.com and plug in headphones if you're with your laptop and something happens, or get a rain track on your ipod and have it with you in case you need to escape and calm down for a few minutes.

Fuck yes I can't stand when people make noises when they are eating. I also cannot stand when people suck their teeth.

xhunter94s · 1 year

Yeah, I know. I sometimes eat dinner with family, and my sister and father are horrible, they're so loud with food. And my sister has to breathe through her nose (I finally taught her she can breathe through her nose while eating, she's 17 btw) so loudly when she eats. It's just horrible. I want to freak out. And worse of all, no matter where we are, whether we're eating or not, she likes to chew ice. And it's so loud, it's the worst.

I work in IT and was fixing a printer at a guy's desk last week. He had a tupperware bowl of some form of bean and beef soup. He is already one of those people who breath extremely fast and loudly at all times (which I'm not complaining about in itself as people's medical issues are none of my business), but couple that with SLUUUUURP chew chew inhale SLUUUUUUURP exhale SLURP chew chew chew SLUUUUUURP chew inhale exhale chew and I just wanted to break the keyboard over his head.

I thought it was just me who couldn't stand some of the sounds of people eating. It annoys me to the point where i'll leave a room or put on my headphones. I remember being on a bus when a fairly overweight young guy gets on the bus carrying a couple of bags of mcdonalds stuff. His jacket and t-shirt were already covered in god knows how many previous meals. No problem I thought until he sits in the seat directly behind me and starts to devour his food. The noises he was making were like a combination of someone being suffocated and a fish flapping on a hard wet surface. The snicking and slurping started making me feel like I was going to throw up. So before I choked him with his food I had to get off the bus and wait for the next one. Just remembering it I can feel the bile rising in my throat yuck.

Totally. Slurping, groaning, lip smacking, sucking. Almost any sound except crunching drives me up the wall. I don't really like watching people eat either, there's too many habbits that bug me.

OMFG I HATE hearing people crunch. If they try not to crunch loud it's not that bad, but I swear my father actively tries to crunch as loud as fucking possible and I can't stand it.

This is the bane of my existence. I'm glad I'm not the only person with this condition, and hopefully that Wikipedia article will help my family understand my tendency to avoid eating with them at the table. Thanks, reddit.

I hate when people lick their fingers really loud. Gross...

[deleted] · 1 year

absolutely! And talking with a full mouth is maybe the one rule of etiquette I can't stand see (and even more so: hear) break, it's so vile. Sometimes when we're sitting at the table and people are being very non-chalant about their consumption I'll turn on the radio and focus on my on my plate untill everybody's finished, which might be me approaching social ineptitude, but oh my gosh those sounds.

My step brother would sit down next to me ,and eat cereal ... I would sit there and imagine myself punching him in the fucking temple.

binnska · 1 year

I absolutely have this and until I realized there was a real, actual, COMMON cause, I thought I was just being an unreasonable, picky bitch. The worst part is that the noises that bother me are almost exclusively from those I love the most. My best friend, my mom, my brother and my cat (who snores) all drive me up a wall with their noises. I try to keep it cool, but I visibly twitch and shudder. It's absolutely beyond my control, but some people (mostly my mom) just think I'm a jerk.

DJGammaRabbit · 1 year

I have a friend who is so oblivious to how he eats - mouth wide open - and he'll even intentionally make sounds as if to convey his enjoyment. Not "mmm" sounds but literally heavier chewing, like clacking his lips together to somehow taste more of something. We were sitting at my PC, browsing reddit, friend eating behind me. Weve never had a fight or been mean to each other but I grew a pair, turned around and furiously said DUDE. CHEW WITH YOUR FUCKING MOUTH CLOSED! He didnt say anything and I felt awkward because of his ignorance. He must be mentally retarded because he stopped it for less than a minute. I went out for dinner with him in an empty bar with a cute, interested bartender. She left as soon as he started eating, and then he horribly hit on her. Last time I go out to eat with him. He doesn't do it all the time, but what's more shocking is when I eat dinner at his house his whole family chews with their mouths open. I don't mind people sipping hot drinks, making a slurping sound, but ignorantly, obliviously, and intentionally making chewing sounds makes me want to stick a fork in your eye.

Open mouth breathers . . . where's my gun?

bdot · 1 year

due to a series of persistent kicks to nuts, (by life), i am currently living with my best friend's 72 year old father.

he has massive hearing loss, and has no idea how loud he is. he also has very few teeth, and needs to constantly "shuffle" food around his mouth, in order to get the food into chewing position. lots of noise to do that.

katielady125 · 1 year

Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't. I think the deciding factor is if there is some other noise like a television or a dishwasher running to distract me. But when all I can hear is slurping and crunching it gets pretty annoying. My family never had much in the way of table manners, but I never really got used to it. It's really hard to listen to my mom talk when she's constantly crunching on something. And animal slurping gets to me also. My dog is so fat he has to grunt when he leans over so every time he cleans "down there" it's this mix of grunting and slurping that is unbearable when I am trying to sleep.

Neovalis · 1 year

I wish my wife were able to deal with this problem.

She complains every time I ever eat... it drives me nuts. I can be in another room and just because my spoon clanks with the bowl, I get yelled at. It's really annoying because she will do this exact same thing and she doesn't notice when she does it...

Gyroburner · 1 year

Oh god, loud inhales of breath and smacking and crunching.

It sends me into a murderous rage.

Duck_the_Grammarian · 1 year

People chewing with their mouths open, talking with their mouths full, or making noises in their mouths when they're eating I can't stand. A little more intensely, I have a friend who makes small moaning sounds when she really enjoys what she's eating- they make the hairs on the back of my neck raise when I hear them. I can't stand hearing those noises, but I know it means she's happy, so I don't really say anything. Fucking creepy though.

Speedkillsvr4rt · 1 year

I really, don't get it. I've never got it. Eating is disgusting to me. i don't care if someone is eating something completely silent and normal, watching someone put food in there mouths, chew, and swallow, grosses me out so much for no reason. i hate people eating. I have no idea why. the whole idea of a dinner or eating social event just completely disgusts me. people getting together and eating in a group?! But everyone else sees it as normal so i just play along.

now that i thing about it, I hate it when other people watch me eat as well.

rocketshipotter · 1 year

Also, people who chew with their mouth open, and you ask them to close their mouth because you can see the beginning digestive stage going on there and it's disgusting, and they just smirk their ridiculous smirk and open their mouths really wide and disgustingly.

Fucking go to the zoo if you're going to act like that.

Qaaj · 1 year

Yeah, I'm one of the calmest and relaxed people around, and I don't try very hard to be this way, because I just have this positive outlook on life and things are going great. But the feeling you just described is the ONLY thing that can make my brain go into ragemode (well, that and ignorant/religious people talking crap) and I have no clue as to why..

yeah. fun.

I'm quiet as a goddamn mouse when I eat, breathe, walk around, whatever. Its considerate.

My exwife used to purposely chew popcorn as loud as she could with her mouth open because she liked the sound. I wanted to hit her in the head with a 2x4!

DogfoodEnforcer · 1 year

My girlfriend's older brother eats everything with his mouth open. It defies logic, as it can't be easy to keep all that food in there. Anyways, whenever we go over to their mom's house for dinner I can't handle consuming food while he is eating. I have taken to waiting until he finishes mimicking a cow before I pick up my cutlery. Drives me crazy!

A friend of my girlfriend sucks her fingers clean every time she eats something. THAT is repulsive, as not only is she noisy, but also ginger and not much to look at.

blearghhhhhhhh · 1 year

i use the free infrared headphones at movie theaters just to avoid hearing people eat popcorn.

Though I'd rather listen to people eating popcorn than listen to dogs lick their paws.

fryingmarbles · 1 year

Yep, food noises, smacking gum, all of it makes me livid. My mom and sister both chew with their mouths open all the time, and I've reached the point where I have to ask them to stop literally every time I eat with them. Often I just have to leave the table. I've gotten in screaming matches with my sister over it.

One of the worst times is when you're at the cinema and either the person next to you is making all those...squelches, and the film is quiet; or if someone in the film is eating and it gets obscenely loud.

d3gu · 1 year

Yep - especially people who chew with their mouths open. It's my #1 peeve!

I used to be awful, but since I moved out & lived with non-family members (who I would tell to shut up), I've got slightly more tolerant.

The smacking, sloppy noise when somebody chews with their mouth open fucking disgusting, i can't stand it, I just want to punch the person's mouth shut, and keep doing it until they chew with their mouth closed.

My dad has the most annoying sound when he chews food. It's the reason I used to eat dinner in my room. Can't stand it.

jackreacherarounder · 1 year

Sat across the waiting room from a guy smacking, cracking and popping his gum today. I almost murdered him. Top it off, he was humming too. Makes my spine curl just thinking about it. I've also been know to make my kids leave the dinner table if they cant quit smacking, etc. I know its mean, but I want to enjoy my food and they can remember their manners. Does it bother anyone else if someone scrapes their teeth on their silverware? That one is baaaad for me.

LepidFunambula · 1 year

Apparently I needed to get this off my chest... it's a bit on the wall-o'-text side. And late to the game.

Pretty much every eating noise. My dad eats bananas and cereal with his mouth open so when I come back home to visit I have to eat breakfast in another room.
Breathing out like you're exercising only you aren't for minutes on end. As if you want to always exhale with cool air but can't do it silently.
Gum. All gum. If I can tell there is gum in your mouth I do not want to be within listening range. And if you claim to hate smacking your gum, WHY THE FUCK DO YOU DO IT YOURSELF.
Slurping all of your soup. Not some of it, since sometimes it's accidental and sometimes it's fun to slurp your soup. But when every fucking bite sounds like a vacuum cleaner, you're doing it wrong. When I eat toast or anything else crunchy and we're trying to watch a movie at home I feel like a douche. Usually I end up letting the popcorn roll around in my mouth til it's softer and less loud when I eat it. Or I wait til the loud parts.

Actually, I hate pretty much all noises. Chip/candy/anything bags (remove a handful at a time and keep the excess on top of it, it's way less obnoxious), whistling, most humming unless it's done amusingly for a short period of time, people talking with their mouth full of pills (as in when taking OTC and then they ask for a cup of water), pens clicking or tapping, loud keyboards in a quiet room, pencils on paper...

I have some sensory issues, always have. People are huge dickbags about it most of the time. "Get over it" "No one likes those noises" "It's not that bad". Oh. Really? Well me stabbing you with a pen might not be that bad either.

YES. This is the thing that annoys me more than anything. Ever. I am so glad to hear I'm not the only one. I leave the room when people eat chips, popcorn, cereal, etc.

My friend/roommate doesn't use napkins. He will suck all ten fingers dry with the most ridiculously inconsiderate slimy sound ever, and he will do it at least once every 2 minutes or so. He refuses napkins when I offer them to him. His food noise habits are killing me slowly. The slurping of the soups is probably the worst though. Iv'e asked him to please tone it down when I'm around because it seriously makes me want to fucking lose it. Now I know I have Misophonia, I started realizing how annoying eating noises were about 16 years ago.
