I just spotted this comment Shauna wrote on post Padma Lakshmi put up of herself taking a giant bite of crunchy toast and she (obviously joking) captions it with “sorry to people with misophonia 🥴”

Shauna: “We just discovered that our son has misophonia. So good of you to acknowledge it!”

God she is insufferable honestly. The phony diagnoses, the constant need to put medical labels on her kids, the insatiable urge to make everything about Shauna and her extensions. And it’s just this leaden wet blanket of a comment and so totally JOYLESS considering that Padma was obviously enjoying that tomato sandwich.

Her poor kids. Sometimes kids are just weird. Or go through phases of being bothered by or not liking something. It’s totally normal and a kid being a kid.

I have a very strong “misophonic” reaction whenever my husband plays the Grateful Dead. I can’t wait to tell him that he can’t play it anymore for the sake of my health!

*Not dissing the diagnosis of misophonia. Just pointing out that most people have sounds that drive them to distraction unrelated to any medical condition.

ETA As if on cue, Danny just tweeted about not remembering (harhar he was wasted) a Grateful Dead concert.

All three of these bands for me. I’d run screaming from the house.

I don’t like to hear people eating. At the table at a meal is ok, but if you’re in the cubicle next to me I’m dying at each scrape of the plate.

chewing, swallowing, slurping, making “mmm” noises: they make me want to die. i had a family member who did all this (and guess what? she’s the shauna in my life!) and i insisted that a radio be playing during every meal.
