Good Bad & The Monkey
To my understanding, a hallmark of misophonia is rage. That is, the sounds don't just annoy you, but they make you irrationally angry.
I ask about this because one of the monkey kiddos fits this article to a tee. And until I read this last night, and for years, we have been exasperated dealing with it. Seeing this and y'all's stories, well it all offers some relief, even if it is (as it seems) a sort of life sentence. Now at least we know that this is not a power struggle with the kid or some failing on our part or kiddo's part.
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.

Now what drives me nuts is all the different beeps and warning sounds used in everyday gas stations/ convenience stores to remind employees to re-set gas pumps, etc. I couldn't work with that as a serenade.
Anyone ever drive home from work and turn off your super wonderful car audio system just so you can be surrounded by silence ... and maybe just the soothing hum of your engine.
If you hear a voice within you say "you cannot run," then by all means RUN, and the voice will be silenced.

Oops, sorry to joke about it when you were concerned about your kid.
I wouldn't say it puts me in a rage at all. It does annoy the hell out of me, though. We've started eating dinner with music on, and as for the snacking in bed thing, I usually just get up and find something else to do for those few minutes.
"run" "2" "eat"
what i posted wasn't a joke.

I was joking around a little in an earlier post....."I don't have a problem" kind of thing.
i have been thinking about this all day. it's just completely fascinating to me that other people are going through what i am going through.

Causes me to run faster during races. I cannot stand all the huffing and puffing of others - especially when they're going no faster than I am (which ain't fast).
I'm with you on this, I used to run with a guy who sounded like he was dubbing a porn movie, in races some people make more noise than Mrs Jules did when she was in labour.

mrs jules was in labour, but now she is in... plaid cymru?
not bad for mile 25
I was surprised by how many gas pumps they had going at the World Championships in Daegu this year. It seemed like every time a race was about to start I swear I heard somebody say, "Fill 'er up, unleaded, Tony", followed by "Shhhhhh" like you were about to wake the baby.
I was wondering what they were saying. There was a bell, too, to indicate that a car was pulling up to the pump.
I prefer to believe that the people around me really are loud, obnoxious eaters; rather than to say that *I* have a condition. And please, no one tell my husband that there is such a condition. Otherwise I may never break him of bringing food to snack on while watching TV in bed. A king size bed, and he leans over within a foot of my ear to eat? And it's crunchy food. Any idea how loud those rye crisp things are in the Chex Mix? Or a bowl of cereal. The spoon clanks against his teeth, the milk slurps, and then of course the crunching!

Now if you also fly into a rage over the crumbs in the bed, that's an additional condition; misocrunchia or something.
(Trent, totally not making light of your serious question.)

I hate to labour the point but we spell labour with a U. this is so we can identify Americans Aliens at our borders.
Do u have a problem with this?

Footsteps. Not ordinary footsteps, but those of people that sound like 400 lb men walking around stomping ants. I can't understand how some of these heavy walkers could have grown up walking that way without having siblings and parents beat them until they walked like a normal human being.
Even worse is the person that has to keep shoes on while in the house. The upstairs neighbor and I are not on good terms (as well as an ex-roommate or two) because I cannot stand the sound of someone going back and forth, and back and forth, and back and forth , and back and forth on hardwood floors in high heels/boots/wooden dutch clog-dancing footware.

No, but wouldn't it be "bourders"?
Good luck with the kiddo, Trent.
