Getting Annoyed By Chewing And Slurping Noises Is A Genuine Psychiatric Disorder


One of the things I'm sure most of us will all agree on is that loud chewing is an absolute travesty that should earn you a one way ticket to the depths of fucking hell.
Hearing someone chomping wildly on a Big Mac or slurping their morning coffee, to the point where they might inhale the cup, can make you feel like your head is about to explode.

Well there's news for all of us who feel this way, you're suffering from a psychiatric disorder called Misophonia.
This translates directly to 'hatred of sound', which to be honest is accurate for most of us. The sound of other people's voices can literally send us into meltdown. However, it doesn't mean that you are just a hater to anything that makes a sound and would rather be deaf, it just means that there are certain noises that'll trigger anger and an uncomfortable scenario.
The best example I can think is when someone drags their nails over a surface and it makes a screeching noise - that is painful to my ears.

The loud chewing of chewing gum is high up on my list. It makes an unbearable noise and if the perpetrator doesn't realise it sends me into an even deeper pit of rage.
Other things are the sound of Katie Hopkins being a grade A bellend - affects me weekly. The sound of Iggy Azalea thinking she's an acceptable addition to the music industry, and the brain farts that Donald Trump makes when in front of a microphone.
