what happens when the anger/hatred of the noise is directed at the maker???

[Guest guest]

I've read around here alot but havent posted alot, im not very good at it, as

you'll see from my post, hehe.

I see that you guys have identified the people that make the trigger sounds but

at the same time i think have directed your anger at the actual sound and

separate the two, but for some reason i am directing it at the person making the

noise!! its affecting my job, because that piece of crap complained about me to

the boss about my attitude! This guy takes plastic stirrers and gnaws on them

ALL DAY and makes these disgusting crackling noises and his mouth is wide open,

also when he removes it to speak, he makes a sucking noise to get the saliva off

of it so he can re-insert it after he's done. His office is very close to mine

and im right between him and the kitchen, he makes about 90 trips to the kitchen

a day, so if its not another delicious plastic stirer its a pretzle, which is

actually less offensive to me then the plastic. (btw, no exageration, while im

writing this he has already walked back and fourth 8 times!) I keep headphones

on ALL DAY, when i have to walk into his office to give him work, i plug my

ears, so he HAS to know this bothers me but he wont stop! i dont want to say

something in fear that ill sound like a mental patient! This is truly affecting

my life because he makes me miserable 8 hrs a day 5 days a week!

So my point is, is there a trick to separete the hatred? Can i just hate the

sound he makes without hating him? If you guys can help me in any way, it would

be greatly appreciated!!!!
