Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for October 30, 2018

Actually, it’s spelled “misophonia”, meaning “hated of sound”.

I get that. I hate it when my neighbour walks his dog in the park outside my window and lets it bark…bark…bark…bark…ad nauseum, at a squirrel.

I don’t think the squirrel cares.

Sounds phoni, er… phoney to me.

I have that, can’t stand when people, usually men, breathe loudly for no reason.

Aunty, you’re facts are more fun than a barrel of rattle snakes. And, it is also a well-known fact about your malfunctioning brain.

Ever pay close attention to scenes with the actor Dabney Coleman? He breathes quite audibly…

I don’t think I have the actual disorder, but I do get queasy when I hear loud eating noises and get angry when I have to listen to music I don’t like in a public setting. I’m guessing I have a lot of company in these…

I thought misphonia was when someone lost there phone.

Not only is this misspelled (Thank you, “blunebottle”) but it is not considered a “brain disorder” by most people.

From Wikipedia: “Misophonia is not classified as an auditory or psychiatric condition, and so is different from phonophobia (fear of sound); there are no standard diagnostic criteria, and there is little research on how common it is or the treatment.”

Apropos of nothing,

For some odd reason todays comic reminded me of this.
