My daughter and my nephew are the same age and my sister has it easy. Me on the other hand a girl is a handful when they are going through their little change. I know that it will get better just as it will for you. I have a 16 year old girl and a four year old boy. My daughter and my nephew are the same age and my sister has it easy.

In fact, my SO got into a HUGE argument over this habit just last night. People who chew with their mouth open should be dragged into a dentist office, mouths wired shut and given liquid diets until they can learn some friggin' manners. Needless to say, my SO says he should be able to eat any way he damn well pleases in his own damn house and I should stop telling him to stop. I guess it's a "my problem" thing and I will leave the table and leave him there to look like the cow he portrays. Thanks for posting this. So funny.

Almost like fingers on a chalkboard. I mentioned it once to someone who says it that way and they told me it was a real word and to go look it up. Being the always inquisitive researcher that I am, I did. Guess what I found...it's a word! An honest real word, or so says the Oxford English Dictionary (my reference of choice). So I went back to him with my findings. I told him he was correct...sortof...but he was using it incorrectly! By the way, it works for presumed as well as supposed. Supposedly and presumedly are past tense and supposably and presumably are future tense. They are based on the words supposable and presumable, which means they are capable of being supposed or presumed. Go figure! “Supposably” gets on my last nerve too.

I couldn't stand to sit close to my mother growing up because of her DISGUSTING chewing noises- and if someone does it with their mouth open, I leave the table. It has to be the fact that so few people ever tell them how nasty they are, coupled with our culture's 'I don't give a shit about anyone else's comfort and this is somehow empowering and admirable,' that has created this phenomenon.

My mother has recently (last 18 months) developed the habit if chewing with her mouth open. I can't stand it. I have told her she sounds like a dog liking its ass, and she says that if other people don't like it, they can leave. I can actually hear her chewing across the room. She spits food when she talks now, and she is seeing nothing wrong with this. In addition, my father has now fallen into the habit. It has gotten so bad that I purposely don't invite her to things any more, because I can't stand her, especially since shes always chewing gum. I has gotten me so mad in the past, because she chewed loud, with her mouth open, on purpose, that I actually had to go into the bathroom just to avoid smacking her across her face. I cracked my middle knuckle punching the wall. God. My mother has recently (last 18 months) developed the habit if chewing with her mouth open. I can’t stand it. I have told her she sounds like a dog liking its ***, and she says that if other people don’t like it, they can leave. I can actually hear her chewing across the room.

Sitting in traffic next to a youth with a base thumping boom box or the neighbor hood street racer that has a small car with 3 inch tuned exhaust isn't as bad as the pathetic old guys on Harley's with loud pipes. Why don't they bend those pipes around so they are blasting in there ears instead of mine, then see how cool they think it is. " Loud Pipes Save lives" is their reason to annoy everyone in a 3 mile radius. Loud pipes also startle other drivers, as they are passing.. they need to invest in an air horn that would direct the noise where it belongs in front ! . Whether or not Loud Pipes Saves Lives or cause deaths is open to debate. The truth is that Loud Pipes Risk Rights . Oh yea while I'm ranting ,helmets save lives. The NFL knew this for years Loud Pipes!

My husband has to deal with the "dough heads" that think they can get a buck by getting mad, stupid or irate! He manages a team in a Telecommunication Company.

I have a co-worker who smacks open mouthed all day which drives me insane. To me it's like nails on a chalkboard. If you haven't yet seen the website gumblasters.com it's worth a look. While I don't think abolishing gum or food is the answer there are obviously many people who feel the same regarding the lack of manners. People, it's easy, close your mouth when chewing. Thank you Mike for bringing this up. I agree 100% that this may be the most annoying popular habit (lack of manners). I have a co-worker who smacks open mouthed all day which drives me insane.

That's nothing. I eat with my dad twice a day and listen on while he masticates his food, smacking loudly and displaying it for all to see. Then after, picking his teeth with ocassional sucking noises. It discusts me to no end. But alas, mentioning it wouldn't help, ( I have) he's been doing it all his life, so doubt if he'll change now, unlike a child that can be taught. Perhaps, I should don earplugs at meal time.
