So I really struggle with the noise of someone chewing, or eating noisily in my vicinity. It totally triggers me.
I have a colleague who’s an utter Neanderthal, he eats his lunch like a complete pig and then chews gum noisily all afternoon. Same s
t every single day, man is obsessed with his eating routine.
I had to remove myself from the office earlier as my cursing was becoming louder and I almost lost my st, I couldn’t focus on anything but his chewing!
I know it’s a first world problem, but does anyone else get this? If not, what triggers you?
Snoring is another one…..

It would annoy me but if something triggers you then the issue lies with you. Maybe sneak out some hypnosis and other counselling. If you are losing it then it’s a control issue or something like anxiety.I have a colleague who’s an utter Neanderthal, he eats his lunch like a complete pig and then chews gum noisily all afternoon.

Reading up and this article sums it up perfectly - https://www.ncl.ac.uk/press/articles/archive/2021/...
Suffer with this terribly.
As an example, I’ve spent the last few years walking down to the local Pret in the morning for a coffee or two while doing morning emails. It’s a busy one and they have to call/shout out peoples orders for collection. Just recently, a woman has started whose voice and precise frequency absolutely does my head in.... I can’t go there any more

Yes I have this a lot. My wife when she eats soup or cereal the spoon always clangs against her teeth, goes right through me.
In my old office there was this odd guy who used to stir his cup of tea continuously for a about 2 minutes, smacking the mug. He disappeared one day, reports of someone matching my description carrying a shovel and roll of carpet into the woods were unrelated.
Think it can also be related to autism

I am absolutely the same and it's getting worse. I can't stand the noise of people eating . I can't even tolerate watching them eat on the TV now.I have a colleague who’s an utter Neanderthal, he eats his lunch like a complete pig and then chews gum noisily all afternoon. Same s

Yep, same as you. Poor Mrs UTH gets a lot of scowls from me when she eats anything on the sofa when her mouth is only a foot away from my ear. I have a colleague who’s an utter Neanderthal, he eats his lunch like a complete pig and then chews gum noisily all afternoon. Same s

I just remembered that after yesterday’s chewing incident, I was driving home and actually shouting, swearing and cussing him about it
This is clearly not normal.
We are only human, sometimes things that other humans do can really rattle our cage, for you it's others noisily eating, I don'tThis is clearly not normal.
think that is overly unusual, I'm the same and know others who can't stand it either.
One of the worst ones for me is the adverts for chocolate covered ice lollies, like Magnums, the sight of the close up mouth
biting into it and that fu
g cracking noise riles me like nothing else, it's so bad if I'm watching TV as soon as it's time for moreadverts I switch the thing off for 5 minutes.
