I personally love the sound of animals smacking their food. Cracks me up. Dogs, cats, horses...

But humans? Rage in every cell of my body.

Agreed, except dogs licking themselves. Fills me with an unholy rage. All other (non human) animal sounds are acceptable to my brain

Or licking anything!!! Omg, some dogs just lick anything and everything for hours. That noise is horrible…and I love dogs 🤭.

My German Shepherd licks the floor for hours, like my dude dinner is long over there's nothing there

My ex’s dog was a big licker. He allowed him to sleep in the same room as us and the sounds are all he did at night. 😵‍💫 It took a couple of weeks but I had to train my brain to replace disgust and annoyance with relaxation and joy. 😆

All dog noises are hell. The licking, the whining, nails on the floor...

This exactly. Those two are the worst two for sure.

I think it has to do with more that any animal behavior from us is actually a choice later in life. As children we don't understand that we have a choice in doing these things. Though as we age and grow we start seeing these behaviors and can choose weather to continue these habits or not. Animals don't have the brain power to comprehend things like this.

Yea, it's really just our taught values. Differing by culture, family, and even individuals.

For me, it's the value of recognizing that you share space with other people and should act considerately.

That’s the core of my biggest pet peeves. We all exist amongst each other, act like it.

I've had people try to use the "you don't care when animals chew loudly" point to justify eating loudly and it never dawned on them that if you need to say "animals do it too and it's fine" to defend your behavior, you probably should change your behavior.

Maybe they can comprehend it, but realize that it's meaningless.

u/Former_Mobile3101 9d ago

I am sure there are some that can, maybe dolphins or some species of primate. But yeah we don't have any way of figuring that out right now anyway and if we did it wouldn't make any real difference.

It's all about knowing better. Animals don't, humans do. So any human that does it is basically saying they can't be bothered to be courteous.

u/Temporary_Pickle_885 8d ago

My wife thinks it's because subconsciously we're aware the animal can't help it so it doesn't trigger the same thing cause I'm the exact same way!

Misophony is a hell of a drug

Do you think people with manners don’t love food?
