It's not as bad as working in an open area with women who chat incessantly about their birth stories
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
and then repeatedly ask you when you're having kids as if they get amnesia after every time you answer0 -
eating celery now CRUNCH0

Actually.. Thats one of the reasons I dont like going to the cinema.
In silent parts of the movie, all you hear is popcorn crunching/crisping and lip smacking chewing. Or slurping of sodas. Its annoying.
At least I am considerate at the cinema, I get the silent TCBY
I'm sorry, silent what?0 -
My attempt for the win... a guy here is constantly on his personal phone with his lawyer. Bitter divorce going on, but I think he might win in front of the judge. Seems that his soon to be ex-wife attacked him and their child, and is currenltly sitting in Jail waiting to make bail. I'd think he'd want to go into a closed conference room, or at least outdoors for these kinds of phone calls. It's like a soap opera. Now I know why this guy is such as *kitten*, married to wack-a-doodle like that.
like attracts like. I'm sure he's no prize either.
One of my friends wives hums when shes chewing with her mouth open.0 -
Oh, there's a new guy in my office that eats a bag of chips and drinks redbull for breakfast everyday. omg. the smell and the sound. it's awful!! And he's my cubicle mate but doesn't push his chair in. So rude.0

I wear headphones and listen to music (loud music) while at to work. Some mornings I forget to put them on, but the coffee slurper who sits across the aisle from me quickly reminds me to put them on!!!0

My cube is right outside a guy's office that eats these large size hard pretzels every day with his mouth open. The kicker is when he asks me a bunch of questions while eating it. I keep debating whether asking him to stop eating while talking to me is rude...0

OMG yessss UGH... I swear my coworker can make marshmallows crunch.. Any one slurping, smacking, crunching AHHHHGGGG0

Fun fact: Irrational feelings of anger triggered by sound is apparently called misophonia.
That said, I totally have this issue too... crunching, smacking, slurping... doesn't even have to be particularly loud either! I jam my headphones in if someone does it nearby. Thankfully my cubemate who smacked her lips when she ate just moved out.0 -
Yes, I totally have this problem too. It's not that I'm jealous that they're snacking, and I'm not bothered by foods that typically make noise when you eat them (i.e. celery, carrots, chips, etc.), but it's excessive or rude eating noises that infuriate me. I pretty much love most of my coworkers and get along really well with people. Then this cute little blond girl sitting nearby starts having an AFFAIR with a piece of gum for three hours, and I am suddenly questioning her personality and character. "What kind of maniac chews gum like that?!" "How has her husband not left this crass pig?!" It's so out of character for me! I grew up with my dad eating very loudly and rudely, to the point that it embarrassed me in public. I think it has caused me to be hypersensitive to these kinds of sounds.0

Can you use earphones and listen to music instead? Or at least noise-canceling earphones without music?0

Everywhere you loooooooooooook0 -
There is a guy who has a lab across the hall from me who whistles idly all day. It makes me irrationally angry. Yesterday's musical selection was "God Bless America", quite out of tune.
This is my office live--whistling or loud talking and laughing when I am trying to concentrate on my work.....0 -

No. But it is not an all day occurance. Just 10 min a day.Still, those 10 minutes....0 -
I had the same reaction in the staff lounge today and someone was hurrying in to fill their cup full of company-provided coffee.
She rushed in, dodged between people, and ended up getting the last few pumps of the coffee (you know, with all of the bubble noises). She kept hitting the lever again and again and again to get the last few squirts of the coffee.
I swear, if she had not made a new pot (policy is who ever uses the last bit makes a new pot....posters from unhappy coffee drinkers are posted all over the lounge) I would have split in half.0
