TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 A general lack of misophonia awareness. If I could tell someone, "I have misophonia, so if you could please either stop cracking your gum/smacking your hard candy/chewing that fruit with your mouth wide open or find another attendant, you'd receive better service," it would do wonders for my sanity. As it stands, if I did that, they'd either do it louder and think they were very funny, or call for my manager. Because seriously, it's tough. A patron smacking hard candy will have me almost in tears, but if I ask them to stop, I'M the rude one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not kidding I can't spell! I just spent an entire day organising and have got to the evening exhausted with nothing achieved. Bureaucracy? Like DMV offices?

Those people who get offended when asked to stop making loud noises with their mouth-holes are essentially saying "It's rude of you to ask me to stop something that is causing you almost physical pain." It'd be like getting offended when asked to stop slapping someone in the face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunbird she/her Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 Sorry for double post. Mobile is haVing seizures with quotes. What I was trying to say was this: Same thing happened to me in class today. A girl sitting immediately behind me started eating a Starburst or a piece of taffy or something and chewing it like a cow, I kid you not: mouth wide open and making the most hideous slurping and smacking noises. After grinding my teeth through a few min of that and hoping she'd stop on her own, I finally turned around and said, "Whatever you're eating, could you please chew it with your mouth closed so it doesn't make that smacking noise?" And she looked at me like I'd just grown a second head. I can't think of any way I could've possibly phrased it any more politely, but she acted like I'd just asked her to stop thinking so loud. She stared at me for a few seconds before saying, "okaaayyyy..." as if humoring a crazy person just to make them calm down. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Slowswift he/him Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 (edited) I can't remember if I've mentioned it before, but oh well. If I have, then I'll gladly hide the post. I've heard people talk about how stupid it is when villains monologue and basically outline their entire plan for the hero, so it's insanely easy for them to defeat the villain later. Annoying and stupid on the part of the protagonist, sure, but what I hate is when the hero, after successfuly apprehending the villain, gives them tips on exactly how they can improve their evil plan. For example: (Iron Man 2 spoilers) Spoiler Like how after Russian McWhatsisface shows up at the race and is subsequently defeated and arrested, Tony visits him in prison and tells him where he went wrong with building the ARC reactor, and what he could've done to make it powerful enough to have actually succeeded in his attack. Guess what happens after Russian McWhatsisface escapes from prison? Takes Tony's advice and almost kills him as a result. It's your own fault you almost got killed now, idiot.
