So the other day there was somebody in my class who was chewing with her mouth open REALLY WIDE and making the loudest chewing noises known to man
It is impossible for me to exist peacefully in the presence of this sound, so normally I try to be humble about this, but this time I lost my temper and impulsively pointed at her with my finger saying, "Do not chew with your mouth open." in a more serious/dark tone of voice than I intended.
It turned out to be rather effective. not only did she stop making the noises, she left
I feel bad about it, but if you open your mouth THAT WIDE when you chew and make noises THAT LOUD ESPECIALLY IN CLASS that needs to be nipped in the bud immediately before a misophoniac more sensitive than me turns homicidal.
Your mouth hanging open lazily when you chew is one thing, worst case scenario I might just spitefully think you're inept at controlling the muscles of your face since part of the panic reaction is I become extremely angry, but this is something else altogether. I have seen many open-mouthed chewers in my life and have never seen anything like it. You have to want to drive people insane with open-mouthed chewing that egregious.

The anger towards open mouthed chewers always makes me feel uncomfortable. For the record, I am not an open mouth chewer. I make an effort to always chew with my mouth closed in as polite a way as possible. Unfortunately that does not help. I am cursed with loud chewing. I have lost count of the number of times I have been yelled at to chew with my mouth closed while chewing with my mouth closed. It was pretty much a daily thing from my parents growing up and has been done by strangers, friends, and even my spouse since. Not a lot I can do about having good acoustics inside my mouth.
Not saying that you weren't justified in yelling at this person, Anius. I'm just saying I get this automatic cringe when I even hear about this sort of thing cause I get yelled at for loud chewing a lot. Basically you should never hang out with me while I'm eating I guess. :)

it's no big deal
i get snappy sometimes, but I try not to be a bully.
And yeah it is true that some people just have bad acoustics in their mouth no matter how they chew. My mom for example. She takes my misophonia personally but it's really, really, really not. I have good friends who are terrible for my misophonia, after all, and I just avoid eating in the same room with them.

I can get by in Illustrator, but pretty much everything I ever would need vectors for I can do in Photoshop using the shape tool, type tool, and shift key. Also, Photoshop also has the pen tool, and it's more responsive than the one in Illustrator (the version I have, at least).

Are you in an apartment building where he/she has to do it?
I'm curious because my tenants always called me and asked me to turn the heat on for them... in a rented house with a standard pilot light. I once asked the guy why he didn't just do it himself and he said, "I dunno. I guess I never thought of that."
But yeah, the Bay Area has gone into "classic crazy" mode -- it was flirting with 100 a week or two ago, now it's dropping into the low 50's at night. And in another couple of weeks, it'll be back up in the 90's.
EDIT: Don't get me wrong -- I love my tenants. I've finally gotten them to understand that I want my house to last long past their residency, so they're willing to call the plumber/electrician/gas guy and get repairs done and send the bills to me. But the guy's pretty handy, so I figured sitting in the cold for a week, then calling me to turn on a stupid pilot light was just really weird, especially since they pay their own utilities...

They turned on the heat in our building today. It's one of those old school boiler systems with radiators in the apartments instead of a forced air system. We do have to use space heaters in the bedrooms in the winter though. There isn't much radiator in the bedrooms and insulation wasn't really a priority in the fifties, so it gets really, really cold back there in the winter.
I was surprised when I noticed the radiators on today though. They usually try to wait until later in the year before they turn them on.

I live in a big apartment complex built during the first half of the 20th century. We've got single-line steam heat, so when it's time for the heat to come on, the landlord has to tell the maintenance guy to go down to the basement and fire up the boiler. There's an ancient radiator in every room of the apartment, and since I'm on the top floor (i.e. the top of the line), I have bleed valves instead of shutoff valves, so I can't turn it off when it's on.

Damn skippy. My apartment has plastered brick-and-concrete walls, a carpeted concrete floor, and a painted concrete ceiling. Only the interior walls are insulated. Figure that one out.

I have lived in places where if you touched the pilot light, you had to get ready for a fight - financial, legal, physical- sometimes all three.

This is the most New York place in all of New York. You don't wait online so much as make your way to the front to place your order, instinctually knowing your place in the hierarchy, and you'll hear a dozen languages while doing so. Tourists are easily detected as they try to say they were there first and accusing someone of cutting them off in line.
The guy in front of the place I staked out ordered at least 100 dollars of food. These sandwiches are made my hand painstakingly, so it required patience- a bit more than I was willing to give to him at first, until I looked down and noticed the luggage he was walking with. Clearly he had come home from some place far away, maybe even the wrong coast, so I let him wade into some real New York food.

why would anyone want to avoid a place that has amazing food and you just walk up to the counter and order?

I dont understand the world of high art.
i just use my art to tell stories about gay moe vikings mang
(no but seriously the other day I realized that my version of bēowulf fits the definition of moe. I have been developing this character for five years)
In Polish the word Sztuka <shtooka> means both art and (single) piece which leads to a large number of puns related to (Modern) Art. Like a comic strip where characters are visiting a circus where the director promises to show lots of Art... Followed by the director bringing Sztuka Mięsa (A piece of meat, also a name of a dish made of piece of cooked meat), Sztuka Złota (A piece of gold), and so on and so on.
Diminutive form Sztuczka <shtoochka> means trick, cantrip, or prestidigitation.
And not forget the oft quoted quip: Modern Art? Decide, do you mean Modern or Art?

We have radiators here too. The administration always post a piece of paper on the building's door some time before heating is turned on with a warning to finish any repairs to radiators before they will be filled with water - the warm or hot water is pumped from the local Power Plant (I think) and warms lots of buildings so the decision when the public heating is turned on is made elsewhere (and is based on specific regulations - after a certain number of days where temperature drops below 15 degree Celsius I think). They turned heating a bit on Wednesday but it's still only warmish - which made my friend ask if we should call someone for repairs because the radiators are merely warmish. No, it's that way until they actually run hot water.

That's actually pretty cool. Learn something new every day. Radiators are rare around here. Ours only ever get warmish. They're the floorboard variety so that's a safety feature not a flaw. I have been pleasantly surprised how much my asthma has improved from having radiators instead of a blowing furnace. Even when I would change the furnace air filters every week, it still wasn't enough. So now radiators are something I would look for in future places to live. Although not planning to move anytime soon. There's no way we would ever find another apartment this big. :)

Here radiators are the norm, at least in buildings built post WWII. Very new buildings, erected post-nineties might have other forms of AC, especially more luxurious apartments and buildings that are not designed for living such as offices.
Buildings from before WWII (except those that were retrofitted with radiators) have various kinds of masonry stoves in individual rooms or some kind of central stove or boilers in the basement.
Kraków has a number of pre-WWII buildings as the city avoided being demolished by Nazis - during the invasion they intended (and succeeded) to capture it mostly intact to make it into capital of General Governorate, and it was again saved from destruction when the German forces were pushed out of the city.
