while this isn't at the top of my list I definitely knew it triggered some people. For you to say something like that, makes me question if you're the one doing it

If the people around you aren’t chewing with their mouths open or smacking their lips while eating, it shouldn’t be possible to hear them.

Of course, it’s also possible that you’re chewing so loudly that you can’t hear other people eating!

When eating out, I always try and sit facing the entrance. No idea when or why it started but it irks me having my back turned like that.
. Feel like I always have done this. It’s a protective thing. Also, when we are staying in a hotel, I sleep on the side of the bed closest to the door or balcony door if ground level

people lining up at a red light and leaving 4 car lengths between them and the car ahead of them. you’re screwing someone over behind you by not making the light or keeping people out of the turn lane. just a symptom of the bigger problem, empathy for others is disappearing

When you go to get off the elevator and people try to get in at the same time. Makes me irrationally angry



I deal with this shite every single day. Nothing irrational about that anger. Completely understandable. People are morons.

Behind a few vehicles at a red light and when the light turns green the drivers really slow to begin moving. Some are reading shite on their phones and some are just in lala land, but it results in only a few vehicles making the green light.

If I can hear you eat/chew, I will politely leave the table. That sound makes me want to commit murder.


You would die if you had to sit next to my two kids while they eat a bowl of cereal. It's like watching a pack of hyenas around a carcass.

I always request a room that is not ground level at a hotel. I have all my hotel preferences defaulted for the highest room possible. I stayed at a hotel one time and heard a woman scream like hell at 4 am. I thought someone was murdered and it rattled she shite out of me. I later learned the story from her coworker at breakfast. The lady was on the first floor and someone had come in through the outside sliding door. The lock on the door was broken and the thief knew it. They came in and stole her laptop amongst other items and she woke up to a person standing over her. She screamed, the burglar ran out the door and ever since then I've committed to never sleeping on the ground floor of a hotel if possible.

It must be a disease. I’m 52 years old and not once I have I ever heard or been annoyed at someone eating or chewing? That’s the oddest complaint I’ve ever heard of. Get you some meds or something. It’ll be ok. I’m sure there’s some medicine for it. I hope so. Never heard of this until this thread.

It doesn't have to be chewing. You ever get annoyed at a repetitive sound. Pen clicking, feet tapping. Some people just can't take it. It's rare, but it's a real disorder.

I just eat with sound on such as a TV or music. Even when I'm alone. I don't particularly love the sound of myself chewing either.

Pens clicking, water dripping, loud breathing, all those little sounds drive me insane. The dog nails on the flooring is the number one culprit of my absolute insanity during the day.

You learn to work around them though.

I'm also a terrible foot tapper, it drive others crazy, but not me.

being put on speakerphone! I hate it!

I have a once-a-week phone call with my best friend in another state. She often puts me on speaker and proceeds to empty her dishwasher (those plates clanging together are amplified to the max over the phone) , runs the water (very loud on phone) etc. I finally have to say "whatever you're doing, the noise is painful. Could you take me off speaker please?" GRRRRR

How could you possibly know how many times some stranger on a motorcycle has listened to a song?

That’s a horrible story. I never stay on ground floor unless it’s at a resort. We enjoy walkout rooms at certain resorts and high floors at others

It was a DoubleTree in Atlanta. I learned a few things that annoy me in life from that hotel. One night the fire alarm went off in the middle of the night. I threw a shirt, pants, and shoes on then walked outside. Took all of a minute to do. Half the people standing around outside were in nothing but their underwear even no shoes. Sure enough no fire and we go back inside. Wasn't even an hour later and the fire alarm goes off again. Once again those same people are out their freezing with no clothes on. Temperatures got down in the 30s. No fire again. Crappy hotel that I stayed in far too often. The cookies were good though.

THAT and having to prepay because their card readers at the pumps aren't working.



I leave. Fewer things throw me into a blind rage faster than that.

The worst offender used to be the Chevron on Cheshire Bridge Road by the old Tara theater. That a-hole would have me walking in the store, swiping different cards, etc. until finally he had me swiping a g*ddamned debit card on some crazy card machine he pulled out of nowhere, just to get out of the fricking store. frick THAT PLACE.

I think this must be some kind of scam to avoid sales tax or processing fees or something.
