My top 5 reasons why it’s great to be a guy...

1. Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat.
2. Bathroom lines are 90% shorter and you can go without a support group.
3. You don't have to shave below your neck.
4. All your orgasms are real.
5. Periods!
You crack me up, crazy. All my orgasms are real too!

My top 5 pet peeves:

1. When I can hear someone eating. Not necessarily smacking, just chewing. Any noises at all-- can't stand it. Ugh.

2. Double negatives

3. People who act like they're a big deal for liking The Great Gatsby.

4. Grumpy cat memes

5. Alabama Crimson Tide fans

Sounds like you suffer from Misophonia. I have a daughter that suffers from it. Therapy and the use of a white noise machine has helped, but it continues to be debilitating. She turned down 2 Ivy League colleges in order to go to a college that build new residence halls with blocks of rooms where the roommates have private bedrooms, it also has some single dorm rooms, and the college recognizes Misophonia as a condition for freshmen to get such rooms. (Also heavily factored in her choice was the college is ranked #2 in her field in the three state area of PA, NJ & MD, she received a full scholarship, lots of perks for honors students, good food, and it has extensive study abroad opportunities).

So agree with #1! I can hardly eat in the same house with my son, poor guy.
I read up on what DiO'Bolic wrote about--misophonia--very interesting. I can't stand a lot of the sounds people make; it grosses me out. That's why all of you guys are my favorites--you're perfectly SILENT. Maybe it's because I've been a teacher for so long and have had to listen to kids tapping pencils, shaking desks, blowing noses (I require them to leave the classroom for this), making weird noises, talking baby talk...well, you get the picture.

You might want to try one of these, especially at meal time (The travel model is so much handier).
