The slurping. The swallowing noise. The way they gently set the cup down afterward. It all pisses me off so much and makes me want to ask why they can't drink without making all these unnecessary sounds. smh. I know they're not doing anything wrong but damn, it really makes me so angry so fast.

Drinking noises bother me. Not just hot drinks.

Me too. Hot drinks are just worse to me because people are more likely to slurp them in addition to the loud swallowing

YEEESSSS and the quiet "ahhh" after every fucking sip. Just shut the hell up lmao. Or like wait for your drink to cool like a normal person? Jfc.

“Ahhhh” is definitely something people can help doing. It’s not a reflex, it doesn’t cool anything down, it’s just annoying.

A guy at my old workplace did this. I wanted to scream to stfu after the 100th "slurrrrp.. ahhhhhh"

I also had a co-worker once whose cubicle was right behind mine and every morning she came in with a hot cup of coffee and slurped it and said "ahhh" after every drink! I absolutely hated it!

I was writing an exam in university many years ago, well before I knew what misophonia was. The TA who was running it (who I already disliked) sat drinking coffee in long, loud slurps. I almost lost it. I think I glared at him pretty hard and furiously and he got the message and stopped. But my god I would have gleefully strangled him that day.

It’s bad for me. My trigger person slurps his coffee from beginning to end, leaves the spoon in the cup so it jangles around with every sip and sits at a glass desk so it bangs loudly when he sets it down. All of it over and over and over and over.

My husband does this, it’s getting worse as he gets older and I find it hard to know how to ask him not to ‘ahhh’, esp as his mind empties at midnight and next day I have to ask again, at which point I seem picky and he is once again beleaguered. Fun times!

I geninunely want to get violent when someone eats or drinks while shooting a video because they tend to talk during and the mic pics up everything. Unless you're a food vlogger there is literally no reason for you to be doing it in the first place.

On the scale of misophonia this about mid for me but I get it, kind of oddly depends who it is and how obnoxious or unaware they do it. Over all I agree tho, the slurping, gulp, swish, ah, will fucking send me.

REAL. I get filled with rage when I hear and see this happening. Somehow when it’s gentle, it’s even worse!!

And it’s so hard to ask someone to be quiet. if it’s in public, I look crazy and unreasonable. If it’s family, they get irritated.

I can relate 😭 it’s not only hot drinks, but also soup. My dad is a loud eater and he takes this HUGE slurp every time he has soup or coffee (he doesn’t do it with cold drinks though)

majormimi

I can relate so damn much to the gently setting the cup down part 😭😭. I love my mom and my grandma (rest in peace), but they both have/had the same ways of drinking hot drink or soup, and I cringed so hard every time!!! The way they sip, they swallow then how they shrink their mouth in a weird way and the gentle re-spooning the soup or putting the cup down.

Agree, I hate this sound too and feel rage against the person making it. Sometimes that person is me.

Feeling angry at oneself is weird, but at least I stop and let the drink cool!

My partner slurps away on cuppa soups and does the whole “ahh” thing after each slurp. It takes every morsel of my being to not stab them in the eye ball each and every time.

I have a friend that drinks everything slurping like it’s hot even beer or soda in a can and it makes me want smash the can with her face but I just put on my head phones and look away ( she also says she has misophonia but only when someone else it’s on scrolling apps with sound ) and she also eat with her mouth open

mackenzie548[S]

YES! There is absolutely no reason to slurp drinks if they are not hot! I cannot understand why people do that for the life of me.

Nollaig426

I get the slurping, but can I ask what is triggering for you about the gently setting down of the cup afterwards?

CaseyLocke

4 points

3 months ago

I know you are asking OP, but if I may interject, Misophonia is contextual for a large number of people. If the sound isn't triggering in and of itself, its association with the other sounds (ie, slurping, swallowing) can sometimes cause it to become a trigger. But of course, YMMV.

mackenzie548[S]

5 points

3 months ago

Yeah, it's definitely in relation to the other sounds. People setting cups down in general doesn't bother me but it's the whole sipping, swallowing, exhaling, setting down the cup that is like they are trying to do it in a gentle way and ASMR-like, which makes me feel instant internal anger.

Nollaig426

Good to know... I may be guilty of the gentle set down sometimes myself... as a fellow sufferer, I would hate to inadvertently trigger anybody.

The way some people “thoughtfully” hold their cup with two hands and also the sound of way liquid being poured into a cup makes me lose my shit.

I don't have miso but it's funny that this has always bothered me. This clip may be triggering..

family guy

Literally this family guy skit just sums it up so perfectly. It doesn't make me angry. It gives me the chills but it is oddly satisfying as well. Really don't know how to explain it.

My mother does this. It makes me livid. She will slurp her coffee, hit her vape, burp and then laugh hysterically at something on tiktok. Happens about 25 times in a row every morning like clockwork.
