My sister chews with her mouth open with everything she eats. My friend does the same thing, and I told him that he doesn't have table manners last night and this is what he tells me. "When you chew with your mouth open it lets the oxygen in and refreshes the taste." At that point I just wanted to punch him in the face, but I just told him to believe what he wanted to and to please not do that around me. The thing I don't understand is what makes a person feel like chewing with their mouth open is right? Espcially when they're opening their mouth all the way just to take another chomp? I digress. I'm starting to become irritated just thinking about it. This is honestly my number one pet peeve. My sister chews with her mouth open with everything she eats.

I'm glad to know I'm not... I get it from all angles. When at work, my co-worker who sits diaganol to me is relentless. He eats ALL day long and chews everything with his mouth open. You can hear the crunching and worst of all, the saliva! GROSS! I get sooo irritated and make irritated grunts to no avail. It's almost unbelievable that he doesn't know how absolutely revolting it is. Then at home. My husband is not an angel, but I can yell at him and he'll stop. But my 16YO stepson is just as bad as my co-worker. He SLURPS his food! I mean, even a cheeseburger! Oh, it's bad... I have to get up from the table and eat in the living room to avoid losing my appetite. I don't know if anyone can answer this, but why does it bother us so bad? I grew up in a home where manners and good eating habits were strictly enforced. You weren't allowed to get up from the table without saying, "May I please be excused?". I guess my biggest problem is my co-worker. I sit in my cubicle for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week and have to listen to this. I'm tempted to say something, but don't have the courage. I thought about mentioning it to his supervisor, but didn't think that was a good idea either. Anyone have any suggestions here?? It's a daily dilemma for me and would welcome any good suggestions!! :) I honestly thought I might be the ONLY person in the world that got so stressed out about other people’s eating habits! I’m glad to know I’m not…

I leave the room immediately because it makes my spine cringe like nails on the chalkboard. A person I live with does this regularly, and I don't know how to approach it. Others have, but the disgusting habit keeps rearing its ugly little head. Slosh smack thomp... "bla bla bla" Slosh smak thomp.... bla bla bla...

He smacks unbeleivably loud. It's so loud in fact that you can hear him eating in the house even when your outside the house and 40 yards away with all the windows and doors shut. I've been tormented with this since childhood. Now, I trully believe that I have a mental disorder because of it. It enrages me so much that I haven't spoken to him for over seven years. Every time I even THINK of him putting something in his mouth my blood boils. I'm legitimately worried that someday I'll lose my sanity and end up hurting him. I've been trying to get him to stop for over 26 years. Very often I contemplate ways that I can make him stop doing it. The way I think of the most is breaking his jaw. I'd just love to shatter it into a million pieces. That way, when it heals it'll be fragile and wrought with pain, hopefully so much so that he won't be able to smack anymore.

I've resorted to anonymously forwarding articles to my friend(s) about the problem. It's sooooo disgutsting! And the worst part is, people get all bent out of shape because you point it out! Just as bad, is when they deny doing it in the first place, and even argue with you that they are not doing it. You have to resort to video taping them to prove it! Yeah, it's that bad. They act all childish about it, and make it out like you are saying THEY are disgusting pigs, not just the action they're doing. They make out to be a deeply personal attack! My sister just doesn't even care, and will make up every excuse about how she cant' help it or just doesn't care, and will even do it on purpose just to annoy me! One of the worst ever of bad table manners! I hate this. I’ve resorted to anonymously forwarding articles to my friend(s) about the problem. It’s sooooo disgutsting!
