Why do people whistle, do they think it's a show of talent?

You've missed the main point of resurrecting this thread, which is that several years later I was diagnosed with misophonia. But that's OK, it's easy to miss it.

I missed it as well tbh, how old are you, are you sure its misophonia and not just advancing age making you less tolerant to things in general as that's pretty common lol

I'm 43. I went through several assessments with a therapist and it was diagnosed as misophonia. I also had an assessment with an audiologist who said there was nothing physically wrong with my hearing.
 
I'm 45 and some sounds annoy me as well, but the last time I went to a therapist was when I was in my mid-teens so that's probably not relevant lol

It could still be relevant. There are some issues which probably haven't been worked through.

people who cough in the street openly without trying to muffle the sound disturb me.

I don't want to hear people pulling up crap from their throat and spitting it out either...

also some people block one nostril then blow hard to clear their nose and have crap flying out...

utter tramps or something, one day someone will snap and KO them, probably be in the paper as "!innocent man randomly attacked"

Yeah maybe, therapist was good though, made me realise that nobody is perfect and that everyone has their own crap going on so rather than fixing me she just made me realise everyone else was in the same boat, probably a different sort of therapist to yours and for different reasons soooo ;)

Wolf whistling and cat-calling will be made a criminal offence, Liz Truss has said as she pledges to stamp out misogyny if she becomes the next prime minister.

The Foreign Secretary has unveiled plans to overhaul the way police deal with abuse in public places by creating a new stand-alone criminal offence for street harassment.


It would cover a range of offences from leering and intrusive staring to more serious crimes such as sexual propositioning and indecent exposure, The Telegraph understands.

Under existing guidance for police, street harassment offences are covered by a range of different laws such as the Criminal Justice Act or the Public Order Act of 1986 which outlaws intentional harassment, alarm or distress.

But Ms Truss plans to simplify the guidance for police officers by creating a new offence which explicitly deals with different categories of street harassment.

Compulsory training would be rolled out for police officers to ensure they can deal appropriately with victims.

“In those awful situations where people are victims of crime, the response from police officers is vital,” a spokesman for her campaign said.

“That is why we will ensure police officers benefit from compulsory training and the tools they need to respond effectively to vulnerable victims.”

That will be a lot of Tory MPs as well. She hasnt thought this out.
 
A colleague in work was just saying how his Mrs has been diagnosed with misophonia, he can't even eat in the same room without her getting the hump..

So have you found a way to cope, or does it still annoy you but you know it is you that has the issue?

Kind of. I know it's me who has the issue and I know to avoid certain situations if I can. If I find myself in one of these situations unexpectedly I can leave or ask people to stop. I have done the latter and people are normally very responsive.
 
Oh aye, I'll stop if asked, but will generally hum or whistle along to the radio or when I'm wandering around..
