You can violently stab him in the neck but you cannot write STFU? Tell him to STFU and you will not have to stab him. We have rules on the forums, Tennesseer, this isn't the wild wild west where you can just write whatever the fu...uuuuuudge you want . I'm still shocked you haven't tried any of the local fare there... I know, go out and get some nice goat smothered in garlic sauce and rice and eat that every day until he gets the message...maybe.

No, we don't walk away. But when we're holding on to something precious, we run.

Uh oh... Oh, I am FULLY aware I have this disorder! However, the problem I run into is, yes, it is a disorder, but that doesn't excuse others from NOT using manners while eating. I do get unreasonably upset at the noise, but not if it is normal noise, such as crunching on a potato chip with your mouth closed. Chomping with your mouth open or talking with food in your mouth, THAT is the issue. For me, anyway.

An enhanced version of this experience is another one of the benefits my office experienced when moving to the ridiculous open floor, unreserved desk concept. I'm a major offender; though not a noisy one. Monday, I got Ethiopian food. Those were some of the tastiest collard greens and lentils I'd ever had. I also eat late, so everyone is back at their desks by the time I'm sitting down to food.
You should record, then auto-tune your offender.

You should record, then auto-tune your offender. I love this suggestion! If you can auto-tune a husky, why not a noisy eater? I think I have a mild case of misophonia. I hate commercials (haven't heard any lately) where they have somebody eating noisily, as if hearing a man chomping on a hamburger would make me want one. Instead, it turns my stomach. And there's something about the sound of liquids being poured on television (like filling a glass of beer or water) that makes my skin crawl. Doesn't bother me in real life, just when I hear it on TV. Years ago I had a co-worker who was nearly driven to violence while sharing an office with a guy who ate carrots all day long. Crunch crunch crunch.

I don't think I would mind seeing a good looking guy with chocolate smeared all over him.
