(Original Air Date: 09/18/07) Does it annoy you to no end when someone uses a cell phone at the dinner table or chews with his or her mouth open? Along with author Peggy Post, Dr. Phil tackles the dos and don’ts of etiquette. One issue making recent headlines is appropriate in-flight attire. Kyla was flying to Phoenix on Southwest Airlines when an employee informed her that her outfit was too skimpy. Kyla saw nothing wrong with the way she was dressed and was appalled when she was asked to cover up. Did the airline go overboard, or was Kyla too tantalizing for take-off? Then, Kate took her 19-month-old son on his first flight, but she was removed from the plane when he became too talkative. Was the airline out of line for telling Kate to shut her baby up? Peggy Post weighs in on this polarizing problem. And, Joan says she doesn’t have any peace at home because of all the noise her family makes – from loud chewing to clinking dinnerware. Her husband, Bob, says he and their three children have to walk on eggshells around Joan just to eat dinner. Is Joan overly sensitive, or does her family need to be reined in? Plus, meet a woman who says her husband’s bad manners didn’t disturb her until she had a baby, and a guest who nominated herself as having the worst etiquette in the country! Share your own etiquette peeves and join the discussion.

Uh Oh ! ...

Quote From: albertovo5

I just cant let this go anymore, Im about to burst ! ! ! The woman who claimed to be sensitive to noises was NOT at all sensitive about noises being made by her family. When her children ate, she was annoyed with her husband for acting and eating like a pig and giving her absolutely NO support try and teach them proper table manners. Shes having to put up with their slobish behavior and should be given a vacation away to compensate her for what she has to put up with. Im a man and never acted like that at the table or in my home. Dr. Phil I challenge you because I think you are 100% WRONG on this one.

09/18 Etiquette

Quote From: fromthesquare

One thing that we all agree on is that we all thought we were alone.  A tiny little segment that Dr. Phil ran has lit a fire storm of "me too's."  We all hope that he follows up on this!!  Hear that Dr. Phil?
I guess Dr. Phil was either mislead or mistaken when he said there would be information on the web site.  Tons of people have asked, and there's just nothing provided.  What a shame.  So many of us would LOVE to have exercises or information that would help.  When he said it would be on here, we jumped in to find it, only to find NOTHING.  Very sad.

The woman who was on that episode is hsmomof6.  You need only to read her posts to see that you are wrong.  She states this herself.  Get online and google misophonia.  Check out the youtube video "Hating Sounds."  Everyone hates piggish manners.  This is different.

The help that was to be available on this site has to do with anxiety issues and relaxation techniques.  We would like to see the Dr. Phil staff investigate Misophonia and treatments for this condition.  People who have it state that relaxations techniques don't help.

Manic Mom ????? What a lable......

I love Dr Phil’s straight-up advice most of the time. I do wonder if he can truly feel/understand what his viewers go through with a chemical imbalance. Shame, embarrassment, anxiety and exhaustion in trying to fit in the world. To function, make a living from day to day. To not let people know so we don't get “labeled”. The world loves to label people. Yes... I agree this Lady is probable ADD. It does not matter what title she is or is not. What matters is she is in PAIN with these sounds and because it does not bother others they cannot understand. It is a world of discomfort and shame, yes shame! We cannot share this to most people because they might not stop what you have asked them to stop doing. They do not understand the great discomfort and at times PAIN. To say 'relaxation tapes' are needed was a Band-Aid on a greater problem. She wrote for help and I could tell by her reaction that she was very uncomfortable with Dr Phil’s aloof response. She wanted more, hoped for more. I think that was one of his shortest segments on his show ever. Perhaps back stage it was talked about more?

Lets take it one step further and say she gets diagnosed and is ADD. What about the expense of the Doctor, what kind of Doctor does she go to? They might put her on medication to “help her symptoms” She may try 2, 3 or 4 drugs to see what ones might help. Each one has to be tried for a few weeks to see if that is the correct one for her. You have side-effect, taking it at work and usually keeping it to yourself. Do that 2-3 times and see what it is like. It all takes time and money. I know many people with several chemical imbalances that may be diagnosed and still cannot find the balance to better there life. It is not a simple task to just get “Relaxation tapes” yes they probable do help but it takes more to function. Our Insurance Companies are a mess!  Some people do not want the Insurance Companies to know they have a chemical imbalance because they may not take you on as a new client the next time.

I was given advice from a Doctor to use ear plugs when overwhelmed, try to explain that one when people ask why you have them in...

Good luck and God Bless...

Etiquette

Quote From: newgran03

I say nitwit because an intelligent person wouldn't sit there grinning like she did after getting an apology (which is what she said she wanted) and free airline tickets, then change her mind give back the tickets and allude that she still plans to sue. She brought this into the public eye and made herself look like a nitwit.

 

I am not the only person who was watching and feels that way.

 

As for saving the airlines money? Don't count on it. If you pay attention to what goes on around you at all you know that as soon as one person wins a lawsuit, heck, even files a lawsuit and it goes public ,all of a sudden you have a bunch of money hungry vultures jumping on the bandwagon and suing too.

 

Someone is going to pay for all those defense attorney's for the airlines. Airlines are insured. Who do you think pays out to families of crash victims? Like I said before, the cost of lawsuits is always passed on to the consumer by the company who has been sued.

 

 

You don't think she has a right to sue, she never said she wouldn't sue if they said sorry, just that she would stop going on shows and giving this air time. I don't blame her for being angry and you know its not a real sorry, Dr Phil most likly said hey look say your sorry and I bet she will stop with the slaming of your name and the law suit. Any company then would be like oh yes we are soooo sorrry please forgive up (and let us keep our money).

 

I'm tired of airlines doing this to people. I drove across country VA-WA cause I have a son that I wouldn't dream of trying to take on a plane for starters I don't think I could hold my tongue if they said something about my son (most likly he would of been cranky). People need to stop being so full of themselfs and understand flying isn't easy for everyone one and the airport companys are now making it worse I will never fly on another plane after hearing all these stories. Last time I was on a plane I had a panic attack a very bad one, now they are arresting people for this, its not something you can control.

 

Oh and both woman looked great neither of them were dress "trashy". And if anyone thinks they were they don't know what todays fashion is.

Quote From: sback82365

Caspurr did you find the information on the sounds. My family would love it if I could get past all the noises. Sometime my family just breathing bothers me. I don't like to be this way!! The more I try not to be the worse it seems to be! HELP!
I have looked thru alot of these posts to see if anyone responded to my first post, and i dont see that anyone has, and i still cant find what im looking for.  Sorry.  if i find it, or someone who knows where it is tells me about it, i will do my best to respond to you again and let you know!

Here is my original post:

"On the show Dr. Phil had told the lady who was having problems with the sounds her family were making while they were eating that he would put up the tips to help her cope with that on his site.  I can't find it, am I just not looking hard enough?  Does anyone know where this is?  I NEED IT!! LOL  I have the same problem.  I cant STAND my boyfriend eating cereal because he slurps the milk off the spoon, and I also can't handle when he twists his beard between his fingers.  He just finds it funny because he can't believe I can hear it since he can't.  I NEED THAT ADVICE BEFORE I GO NUTS!!! LOL

Thanks in advance!

Michelle"
