Hearing you eat makes me want to shoot myself in the temple...twice

ohh my god i thought i was the only one. i hate it all. and when people look up when the spoon goes to their mouth!!!!!! i hate it soooo much

 

ahhhhhhh hahahaha oh that aint nothin man
you really would not want to witness my dad eating man childhood was rough
picture potato chips, not just the crumbs whole chips in a big hairy chest
I just wanted to shave the bastard down and muzzle him enough to drive one to therapy

peace

I actually completely agree. I can't stand the sound so much that before I moved, I hadn't eaten dinner in the same room as my family for probably five or six years (excluding holidays, which are excruciating).


For me, hearing it, even just *crunch, crunch* sends me into a fit of rage. Hard things like chips, or popcorn, or crackers are the worst for me. And it always seemed that I couldn't turn my headphones up high enough to avoid the sound.

There are a few, rare times when I don't notice the sound of people chewing, but generally it's horrid. I don't mind people talking with their mouth's full though, less noise made.

 

um yea i don't like noisy eaters either but .....um... :&

*stands up slowly* hello my name is Simon and i am a recovering noisy eater..... i have chewed and swalled my food with little to no noise for the last well its been 2 months now....yeah yea i know...amazing

its hard.... but i believe in myself so i know i can do it

 

I get annoyed by people who mumble through their food, I al least have the common courtesy to move the food to one side and make myself clear.
but I'm more worried about the way people eat rather than the sounds they make, such as these people who don't know that the fork goes in the left hand, knife in the right, cutlery together in the middle of the plate when you're done, bread on the left, drinks on the right, all the sorta stuff that should be taught in school because people just don't know anymore

can anyone tell I'm a waiter? and yes I knew all the proper rules of meal etiquette before I worked as a waiter, without going to a fancy private school or anything!

 

I'm just worrying about feeding my face...not worried about how the heck I eat. I've never been good at manners.

I grew up in a barn, I guess *giggles*

 

My best friend smacks horribly. I mean, licking fingers and eating with her mouth open...and...UGHGHGHGHGHH.

 

sorry if I was a bit ranty, I've had too many people lately get really narky with me for having to asking them if they were finished when their meal is only two-thirds eaten and cutlery are resting on the edge of the plate, aaaargh, I start fuming just thinking about it

 

Puts hand up.. i really hate this too - noisy eaters are just plain annoying.

My ex used to be a really noisy eater, so I decided to tell her how much it bugged me. Great, she started eating nice and quietly - unfortunately I then discovered her jaw clicks constantly when she chews - which was even worse!!!

 

...

 

gum especially freakin bubble gum......actually the sadist that commercialized it - wanna KILL!

 

What about people who sit around AFTER eating,
sucking on their fucking TEETH?!
sszzTEK!
(pause)
zzzzzt.
(long enough pause to make you think they're done)
sssxzzzzTK!!
get a fuckin toothpick, you unconscious bastard!

or chewing ice while talking on the phone!
or
slu-u-u-u-u-r-r-r-p-p-p-i-n' soup or coffee...
just makes me wanna climb up on them
and pour their fuckin soup down their throats!
bastards.

I could go on.

 

Has anyone found anything that helps with this problem? Hypnosis? I've been dealing with it for about ten years and it was in "remission" for a long time, but now it is back worse than ever. I told my husband that for Christmas I wanted to get help, but it's really expensive and I don't know if it'll work. If anyone has tried anything that works, or that doesn't work, please post a reply, or e-mail me. Thanks

 

omg! i have found the thread for me! my roommate slurps and smacks her food, and i cannot stand it, especially when i'm trying to sleep!

i think, who didn't teach you how to chew with your mouth closed?! you know, she's real smart. she's in calc 2, chemistry, and engineering, and doing good in everything... but somehow she missed the eating lesson D:

and she pops her gum! what is she, 11?! get out of middle school!

i need my own room

 

....but seriously.. TEA! she smacks tea! she slurps it up then smacks it.. how!? it's TEA! D:

 

Even people I don't know that well...If they're eating/smacking next to me, I'll ask them to stop. I don't care. I'd rather go out on a limb and ask than sit through torture.
