Hi, I'm Steve, and I'm a Misophone

Christ, look at this! Somebody at last understands! I'm not a congenital misery-guts, I've got a condition!

Candy said...: Just got back to this. I would LOVE to say I have this condition, but I honestly think it's just people generally that drive me nuts. Chewing, snoring, talking too loudly, whispering, babies crying, sniffing, finger-drumming, pen-clicking, laughing, page-turning, "dish-dish-dish" from earphones, knuckle-cracking, mouth-breathing and just anything really. I am a congenital misery-guts.; 14 November 2012 14:08
Vilges Suola said...: You sound very much like me. I have my ear plugs in most of the time - they are an absolute must for train travel.; 14 November 2012 14:36
Candy said...: Earplugs and that 100 metre stare that says "Fuck off - now." I have been told I can clear a room in seconds with that stare. At least children leave me alone and even shut up when I turn my gaze upon them.; 14 November 2012 15:36

on the human species

'The human species, Dinah sometimes thinks, is stark staring mad. People have no sooner got themselves born than they start to imagine the gods want them to flatten their heads, or perforate their genitals, or arrange themselves into hierarchies based on the colour of their skins. The gods require them to avoid eating hoofs, or to walk backwards in certain sacred presences, or to hang up cats in clay pots and light fires underneath them. The gods like them to slaughter birds and make incisions in their own skulls. The gods have put the banana on this earth so that the human species can apprehend that fruit as a miraculous revelation of the Holy Trinity. It has to do with their singular ability to think and dream in symbols. This is what makes the species so vicious. It's also what makes them great poets.'

Barbara Trapido, 'Frankie and Stankie'.
