Can't stand repetitive noises - drives me up the wall. I guess I have a mild version of it.

Same here, it is amazing how many people, (Not kids, I expect that) grown adults who habitually click pens, drum fingers, and worse of all, crinkle water bottles . . .

@CM1995 @IceHole I also didn't know about it til recently but I sure have suffered from it for as long as I can remember. It get worse if I haven't eaten probaly low blood sugar. I normally only eat once a day (supper)unless I have been expending a lot of calories and I get dizzy then I will have something in the afternoon. If I have to be around people I will pack a buffet

They referenced it in a tv show I was and this guy was getting ready to perform some enhanced interrogation, the torturee was blindfolded and the interrogator was eating crisp red apple slowly and loudly as possible in the hopes that it would bother the suspect.the suspect just said man can we get on with these already? The guy takes the blindfold off and tells her his last suspect was so bothered by the apple that he spilled his guts to make it stop and mentioned misophonia so naturally I looked it up. Sure as **** it is a condition.

Basically--people are disgusting, in many ways. Personally I can't stand beards, tattoos,
men wearing jewelry, one eye or ear lower than the other, necks with hog wrinkles,
crew cuts, flat tops, shaved heads, pressed clothes, collars with buttons or shirts with
short sleaves that button up, leather man on belts, cowboy hats, dreadlocks, bib over-
all's, tank tops, wife beater shorts, wearing clothes too small, chewing tobacco, sun-
flower seed eaters, sun glasses on hat, 5.9 tee shirts, people who cough without covering
their mouth, making sounds trying loosen something stuck in their tooth, trying to
disguise they need to phart. Other than that everything is ok.

Sounds like you just don’t like people. As for a romp in the cot in back, it was his dogs panting, eewww.
I don’t care for people either. Working on things, requires all of my attention. I wear earplugs all the time.
I can’t stand working near a running engine, breaks my concentration.
That said, the hum of a transformer welder, is beautiful.

I think putting up with other peoples habits kind of tells the story, {excuse me
for driving on your highway}. Yesterday I had a tow to fetch in Pendleton and take to
Pasco. Company truck derated on fuel island so I had to haul it to Pasco dealer, and
haul the driver with me, left at 11:00 am got back at 4:15 pm. Team Drivers? I drove
along for 100 miles trying to ignore the dufus in passenger seat. 100 miles of nonstop
complaining about passenger car traffic, stupid women drivers, young drivers, old drivers
and just drivers in general. Dressed in wife beaters/tank top, shaved head, gold neckless,
and sunglasses, the epitome of why team drivers are a problem.-----Plus------------
before I could hookup {he had already disconnected}, I had to have him back back under
inflate the bags raise trailer and finish cranking gear down, the lazy bugger low dropped
the trailer making it hard on the next driver. turd.
