One of the things I hate most is the quiet bit before a foilm starts in the cimena when the censors notice or sometihng is showing and all you can hear is the sounds of rattling, slurping, and popcorn/nacho eating.

AAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ha ha i love that!! ^^

When people make normal eating noises I don't mind it, but if someone is eating with their mouth open or smacking, that absolutely disgusts me.

This is one of the few things in the world that will immediately make my blood boil, and significantly decrease my opinion of the slack-jawed mouth-breathing idiot involved. Jesus, it's one of the most basic manners that your mammy (should have) taught you. It's one thing making some crunching noises when you're eating crisps or whatever (unavoidable), but chomping away with your fat, idiot maw wide open like a horse when you're eating is inexcusable. :mad:

Grand, as long as they can enjoy it with their damn mouth closed like the rest of us! Let everyone else enjoy our peace and quiet.

hearing them eat makes me want to vomit on my own face

Haha, I'd love to be able to vomit at will, so I could vomit all over the faces of people who chomp and slurp with their mouth open

rob185 · 28-11-2007 07:44PM

I have exactly the same problem!! I thought i was crazy to be so pissed off by the sound of eating. Even when people chew with their mouths closed it sends me mad. I've had many arguments because of it within the family!! And i've also walked out of the room full of muchers muttering the "f**ckin animals" line.

I dont even know what it is that bothers me about it...

Giblet · 28-11-2007 07:45PM

I like biting really hard down on the fork, and pulling it out. Makes a cool *shink* sound.

Probably the fact that every civilized adult should know better, that it's so easy to avoid (just keep your damn lips shut, no large amount of skill necessary), and that it sounds so disgusting. Anyone who does it is a filthy, lazy savage who I hope dies in a plane crash over warm seas, so they'd be kept alive for days until they died of thirst or were eaten by sharks.

'Ol Jack Chance · 28-11-2007 07:55PM

i hate people listening to me when i eat. concentrate on your own food. besides in ancient rome or greece failing to slurp burp or make general would be disrespecteful to your host. who are we to argue with the inventors of the orgy?

DEmeant0r · 28-11-2007 07:55PM

The only two things that infuriate me are when people are late, and this shítty internet connection, keeps disconnecting every 2 bloody mins!!! >:(

Anywho, in Japan, slurping when eating noodles is a sign of respect for the person who cooked the meal...

Dunno if thats what i have anyway....judging from Wiki the causes include, but are not limited to:

* Severe head trauma
* Facial nerve dysfunction
* Surgery
* Ear irrigation
* TMJ (Temporomandibular joint disorder)
* Adverse drug reaction
* Williams Syndrome
* Autism
* Bell's palsy

* Asperger syndrome
* Superior Canal Dehiscence Syndrome
* Chronic ear infections
* Minor Head Injury
* A vestibular disorder

I'm almost certain it isnt all the minor head injuries i get that cause my hatred of that noise and i dont have any of the rest(arguable)...:eek:

I like your thinking!
The temptation to remove the offenders' mouth has almost got me a few times now.

galwayrush · 28-11-2007 08:12PM

Very much so:(

Rhiannon14 · 28-11-2007 08:18PM

I was beginning to think it was just myself, OP. Can't even listen to my own chewing without being grossed out. Hence my television mealtime addiction

It's the slurpy chewy noise that I hate, as opposed to crunching.
But I do hate the sound of someone crunching on a bag of crisps.
And I really hate the noise of someone eating an apple.
I hate people chewing and talking at the same time, especially if it's about how good the food is.
I hate looking at people eating.
I hate it when people try to eat in the library or other quiet places and try to s'tifle the sounds of their chewing.
I hate it when people gulp really loudly, but the slurping of drinks is ok.
Slurping of food on the other hand, is horrible, as is sucking, licking, gobbling.
Other big offenders include chicken wings, cheese falling off pizza and on to people's chins and then they have a fit about it with their mouths full, people who can't eat spagetthi properly, fajitas and bits falling out the ends of them, greedy people, overfilled sandwiches, people eating things that are too hot and then making horrible faces and noises as a result....
AARG!

Are you me? +1 to all of the above!

Slurping of any kind will actually cause the aul red mist to rise and I have to leave the company of someone who is doing this, as it makes me feel so sick my fingers start twitching involuntarily, as they imagine themselves wrapping round the throat of said offender.
I don't mind crunching of crisps, as it's pretty much unavoidable, although it still irritates me when I eat crisps and i can hear myself crunching them.
Chewing with your mouth open - arrrrrrrrrgh! close your mouth you goddamn savage fool. I really don't need to see your mastication process and all the strings of saliva globbing from your pallette to your half-chewed food. Bleurgh.
And woe betide if anyone gulps their drink in a greedy noisy disgusting fashion, I have to walk out of the room to stop myself from punching them in their stupid gluttonous throat.

I am actually at the point where even if it's one of my dogs slurping or making lovely loud smacking noises when licking themselves I will have toput them outside the room so I won't throttle them.

Having said that, pretty much most things that other humans do annoys me, so why I get so worked up about this thing in particular baffles me.

You should probably see someone about that.

I live in China and a bowl of light broth/soup is served with every meal (Nortern China it is consumed after the meal, Southern China during, all dependent on custom really) but to not SLURP IT LOUDLY is a sign that you have not enjoyed your meal.

Footnote: likewise with finishing a dish. Don't EVER finish a dish or your host will think you have not had enough. Like my friend last week with a ghastly hangover who indulged in dumplings with aplomb only to be served "seven day old pigeon as a treat" Vom-a-bloody-rama.

Yes, he puked.

Badly.:eek:

ojewriej · 28-11-2007 08:35PM

I can't say it drives me mad or anything, i do think it's bad manners though.

Some people say that eating with your mouth open is supposed to make the food taste better.

Belching is what i hate.

I did think about engaging the services of a hitman alright, but that seemed a costly solution to the problem.

Shall we do lunch sometime?!

Preferably in some restaurant populated by mouthbreathers slobbering on their food, purely for the entertainment value of having to explain to a judge why we went on a murder-spree with forks

I hate people who moan non stop about how you eat/drink. Annoying as ****. the lot of them.

No I'll admit, It is very rude to comment while someone is trying to eat, but I cant help myself. It's either say something or punch em straight on the nose. I once told a friend she sounded like a "pig sifting through slops", needless to say she wasn't impressed.

I hate the noises. Hate them. HATE THEM. There's nothing worse than someone eating a banana near me. *Smush* *Chomp* Eugh....

My dad eats pears in the most upsetting way. He bites into it, then sucks so the pear juice doesn't go everywhere, but it makes the most disgusting slurping sounds.

l3LoWnA · 29-11-2007 12:04AM

I hate hearing people eating, doesn't matter what kind of eater they are (slurper, heavy-breather or snappy chewer etc.) I have to have background noise (pretty loud) when eating with friends and often have to leave the room (excuse myself) even when eating at home with family as it drives me up the fkn wall! So glad it's not just me! Ever hear someone breathing realy heavily through their MOUTH when eating, it's HORRIBLE!!

Also hate heavy breathers! :mad:

Marksie · 29-11-2007 12:04AM

Oh i cant stand it. I avoid one guy ate work like the plague. he eats noodles and he shoves em in his mouth and eats em, in one go from a distance of seven inches from the plate. He can be heard eating across three tables.

I juts leave the room

DEmeant0r · 29-11-2007 01:08AM

Lol, don't know how so many people can find it so annoying... jesus lads/ladies, just be glad there's food on your plate everyday.

Alessandra · 29-11-2007 02:48AM

Okay, I am kind of reassured that other people suffer from this. My brother is 17yo and ever since he hit 11 or so has had an awful aversion to the sound of people eating normally. Chewing, swallowing, munching, sipping, slurping all drive him ballistic. I thought he had hypersensitive ears. Things the rest of us wouldn't hear like someone smacking their lips together, taking a mouthful of tea, a bite of toast are utterly intolerable for him. He cannot sit at the table with regular company without grimacing or actually losing his cool about somebodies eating habits. He cannot explain this and knows that it must be just him as the rest of us can tolerate a meal together and we aren't farm animals etc. Somebody said that teenage boys are often very sensitive to this. Can only imagine its the equivalent of someone scraping nails on a blackboard... There is one way to get the Tv to yourself at home, bring in a nice big mug of tea and a few biscuits... Sucks for him though!

[QUOTE=Ever hear someone breathing realy heavily through their MOUTH when eating, it's HORRIBLE!![/QUOTE]

This is actually one of the worst kinds of noisy eaters. My Mams partner does it. Cant eat in the same room as him anymore cos I will end up ripping his face off one of these days.

RxQueen · 29-11-2007 12:21PM

oh god i hate this. my mother eating habits are the worst ever and my father breaths and slurps really loud when eating , it really get on my nerves and i lost the cool with them loads of time, i dont eat around them anymore i usally go into the sitting room to eat my dinner etc, actualy i hate dinner i usally just eat a sandwhich!

TequilaMockingBird · 29-11-2007 01:02PM

I CANNOT stand it. It makes me feel like running screaming from the room.
