ugh, sounds horrible. I really hate it when people can't chew with their mouth closed, makes me want to scream at them. ^ that's an interesting point. (Sometimes people are just loud and obnoxious though)
I don't even quite understand why it irritates me so damn much. Maybe I should take thedope's suggestion and meditate on it some more.
It irritates teh hell out of me, too. It's just so disgusting. It's liek they don't stop to think that, being in a public place, maybe they shoudl pay some attention to the fact that there are other people around them that don't want to look at their open mouth filled with semi-masticated gum and saliva!
I found out it's called Misophonia!!! I take pills for it now & I'm on a brand new path to my well-being!!
I am like that with my stepfather. I love him and I think he's great, but he does so many things that drive me nuts - he has this weird awkward laugh that he does after he says ANYTHING! He does this thing with his tongue when you're talking to him...like he flicks it in his mouth. He hums constantly. He doesn't know how to pronounce words or spell anything. Those are a few things that make me insane...but overall, he's a great guy, as long as I don't have to be around him all the time. hahaha
Gum SNAPPERS are the worst! And clinking ice cubes. And someone stirring coffee over and over! Clinky-clinky-clinky-clinky!!Chewing food with sloppy noises. Guess I have it too.
I hope this doesn't offend you, but in all the years I've known you on this forum, I've always thought you were in your 30's. haha I don't know why. :biggrin:
