         @JessSloan But does it make you irrationally angry? Would you complain to a radio station that they're hiring "stupid" women because of how they sound?

            No I wouldn’t assume the person is stupid nor would I put in the effort to call. But I would be irrationally angry at the noise. Sort of how I feel when I hear chewing and other eating related mouth noises 🤷🏻♀️ @ink_slinger

               @JessSloan Ooooh. In that context, I totally get it. I have the same thing with chewing noises. It's irrational in a quite literal sense and I wish it didn't bother me so much.

                  It infuriates me immediately and I don’t even know why. I make my husband put music on at the table if it’s a particularly mouth noise heavy meal 🤣🤭 @ink_slinger
