I don't like spaghetti sauces (types of) on chicken. Some food mixtures don't work for me.

I absolutely cannot stand it when people chew gum noisily. I think they look like cows chewing their cuds. Never gave my kids a piece of gum, ever. Had to change bowling teams because one of the other ladies cracked her gum incessantly!

OMG, gum cracking drives me up a wall, it is like nails on a chalkboard, actually worse! I absolutely cannot be around someone who cracks gum.

ITA I am amazed at how people who otherwise seem well mannered can do this without a thought.

There is an actual nuerological disorder called Misophonia, which literally means hatred of sound that people who have it can not tolerate the sound of gum chewing, slurping, chomping etc.. I think I have it as well as my DD. Never actually diagnosed just know how these sounds can set me off... very nerve wracking.

Chewed up wads of gum make me almost physically ill.

I cannot STAND slurping and teeth scraping on forks as well as gum cracking.

I've never noticed that I'm particularly sensitive to chomping, though.

I too hate the gum snapping as well as the drumming of the fake fingernails on the tabletop. There was a woman at work who used to do that. Dressed slovenly but had great looking faux nails.

I love to iron. For me it releases stress going in all those circular motions and taking the wrinkles out (of life).

beckyb1012...I feel the same way about ironing! When I'm stressed or worrying about something, if I start ironing, I can feel myself relaxing and calming down!!

There's something relaxing about that isn't there? I like to iron too.

I won't eat, not even taste, food that has a name I find distasteful. Couscous, humus, sloppy joes are a few.

I started thinking they all have "s's" in them. But then there's steak, lobster, shrimp, but not distasteful names.

I used to crack my gum. I practiced as a kid until I could do it. After I learned to to it, and did it for a while, it got so I could not chew gum without cracking it.

You will be happy to know I have paid for the practice with my current TMJ disorder and can no longer chew gum at all! So...imagine those annoying people like me with ice packs on their jaws and taking advil!

The bills in my wallet all have to face the same direction.

Me too and group from largest to smallest.

What a bunch of weirdos! j/k

I do this as well, but I also arrange each denomination with the crispest or newest bills in back and the old, nasty worn out ones in front. Don't know why since it all ends up getting used anyway, but I prefer to get rid of the the tired, floppy bills first. Hence why I try to use my bank card for most purchases. LOL

When I withdraw money from a teller, I find it odd when they don't count it with all the heads facing the same direction....especially when it's a large amount. I always saw it as laziness and when I recount it in their presence I always change it.
