      Someday I hope my life is so free of real problems that the way a guy drinks his coffee is a big enough issue that I complain about it lol

        I kinda get it. Some people are imagining a Nespresso commercial from the 90’s, all cozy and comfy.

        I, a person who once shared an office with someone who thought air popping popcorn at their desk was a socially acceptable thing to do, can imagine a Sam Kinnison-esque vibe to the “AHHHHs”.

        Don’t forget people are different, misiphonia is a thing - something you consider normal might be absolutely infuriating to be around for some people.

          I have misiphonia actually lol. I can’t eat at restaurants because the sound of metal cutlery scraping together or scraping on people’s teeth causes me physical pain and makes my own teeth “itch” for lack of a better word. It really sucks but I don’t go around shaming people for eating in a way that’s normal for them either.

          So, I definitely get it but mocking people for sighing in contentment over their lil toasty cup of coffee seems criminal to me. It feels like there’s not enough joy in the world right now to be making people feel bad about silly things like that ya know? :/

            I like your POV. Thank you for having it.

            I was made aware that my chewing is too loud. I no longer enjoy eating food around people because I’m too self-conscious about the noise. It’s a stupid thing to care about, and I feel stupid for letting it bother me. I wish “live and let live” was easier.

      I’m afraid I sometimes am that guy, but with my glass of cold water. I instinctively say ‘aah’ after my first sip.

      Thank god I’m working at home half of the time.

        Nothing wrong with showing pleasure or appreciation at something nice, it’s other people who are repressed. Sigh at beverages, clap at movies, yum at tasty food, laugh at cat videos, smile at memories. Fuck the haters.

      I don’t make the ahhh sound but I do hold it with both hands close to my face. It’s for the warmth and I really couldn’t care less about anyone that weirdly has an issue with that. What a strange thing to be bothered by…

        Being „bothered“ by certain affectations isn’t that strange I think. I bet you aren’t completely free of that either.

          Of course. But I keep it to myself if it’s not actually hurting me. It seems so senseless to make someone ashamed of something like that.

            That’s why we put these thoughts on the internet so we don’t confront someone directly with what bothers us…in the hope that if they find out that their behaviour might be bothersome to others, they learn and change. Without being called out directly.

    I have a mug at work but I prefer to drink coffee out of my thermos, on occasion I’ll fill the mug up with ice and pour some red bull over it. This is exclusively how I drink it for the first few sips. It started as a joke I would do mid conversation with some coworkers and somewhere along the line it just hit me that the first few sips are so much better this way.

    Don’t murder me.
