I can’t stand chewing noises over headphones. its fucked up to eat when your mic is on dont do it
We have one of you at our zoom COVID pub group. We try to not chew the chips and peanuts around our you but we forget. But we do think about your issue all the time. Sorry.
Eating noises
I have so many. Here are some top ones:
- Grinding metal utensils on plates/teeth
- Stepping on something wet
- Motorcycles / purposefully loud exhaust mods
- Most mouth sounds in general
How do people manage to BITE a fork and drag it out? How do they not immediately blow their brains out afterwards?
The only thing worse for me is imagining the feeling of biting down on a damp popsicle stick and pulling it slowly out of your teeth.
I don’t like you
Idk it hurts my skeleton just thinking about it.
Children.
I’ve heard that this is instinctual. We have evolved to find crying and upset children intolerable because it motivates us to do something about it.
Children are also exceptional and figuring out how to push our buttons because they instinctively find and repeat behaviors that get a reaction out of their caregivers when they desire attention.
Unfortunately the most motivating emotions are often negative ones.
do something about it
eyes the knife drawer
Dragging a guitar pick up guitar strings, and touching those hologram images.
I was gonna say high freq vibration noise, but those two also give me the creeps. I think I have whatever it is you also have.
Anything kinda powdery like flour, chalk in general, or things like dried mud or clay. Can’t stand them, especially on my hands and feet.
Yep! I do pottery and absolutely despise how my hands feel covered in dry clay.
I was considering you an outlier. Turns out you aren’t.
Agreed on chalk and similar feels.
In Hermany we have sweets called “Traubenzucker” (according to my quick web search they are dextrose sweets) which also have this feel and it’s even worse in the mouth.Biting into meringue is also quite uncomfortable to me.

this makes sock shopping immensely difficultFor me it’s seams in my socks, like right across the toe, and then that shit bunches up inside my shoe if I don’t put it n right and it makes me nuts
Microfiber towels sticking to dry skin on your hands like velcro. Soggy sandwich bread. The way cotton balls feel and sound when you pull them apart. Non-skid on bare feet. Wooden utensils or popsicle stick wood on my tongue. Being touched by dogs with wet beards. Trying to sleep in bed with dirty feet. Synthetic fragrances.
I’m sure there’s more.
I kind of understand why these things bother you. They don’t really bother me, except the synthetic fragrances, but I can get the gist. It’s kind of weird.
Chewing gauze or tissue. Yes I had my wisdoms removed recently.
- Loud conversations. If you need to speak loudly at the person right next to you, you need to get your hearing checked.
- Excessive perfume
- Bright headlights
My wife hates eating noises. I never used to notice them, but she complains a lot.
She also eats pretzels and chews ice all the time. Now it fucking annoys me.
Mask those sounds with music or some banal tv while either of you eat. It’s been a lifesaver for me.
I’ve never eaten a noise before
This is a specific thing called misophonia
Just stop eating, the both of you. Problem solved!
If someone has the TV volume too high, I cannot focus on anything else
Thankfully, the family understands that I’m not anti-social. I just can’t sit in a room with the TV on and two grandchildren listening to iPads all at the same time.
I have plenty of tasks in my office or in the garage.
That was last night at the family gathering. Why was the tv volume on at all? Everyone was shouting to be heard over everyone else. The amount of questions directed at me and me not able to string two thoughts together to reply intelligently because someone turned it on some bakeoff marathon and then hid the effing remote.
This whole thread shoulda come with a trigger warning, lol

Wooden spoons
-
Unglazed ceramic
-
Synthetic fur / thermal fabric that stick just a little bit to the microscopic burrs on the tips of your fingers

The sound of styrofoam touching anything make my hair stand up. I hate the sound of a lot of fans and blowers so I wear noise canceling headphones when I can. In terms of touch, I loathe the feel of certain weaves of synthetic fabric. I don’t wear it but I have some blankets made of it so I handle those with gloves. (I bought them on accident.)
