We told you - roommates in lockdown are a ticking time bomb.
While we're happy to hear there was no physical fight and they weren't looking to press charges, there is a very real condition that could have led to this fight.
It's called Misophonia.
People with misophonia are affected emotionally by common sounds — usually those made by others, and usually ones that other people don’t pay attention to. The examples above (breathing, yawning, or chewing) create a fight-or-flight response that triggers anger and a desire to escape.
And here you might have thought it was just an overreaction.
