The Sound of Eating

[Bo Hart]

Right now I'm listening to my girlfriend eat Wheat Thins. I don't know if she's an inordinately loud chewer or what, but it's making me go insane. The sound of the crunching is making my blood boil. It's especially bad because she loves that snack, so I listen to it virtually every time I come over here.

Cereal, too. God I hate sitting next to her while she eats that.

She does, for the most part, keep her mouth closed while eating... but it's still incredibly loud and distracting.

It's getting to the point where I try and avoid eating with her because it irritates me so much.

It's lasted eight months and counting.

And it's not limited to her. I just hate listening to people eat in general. The obvious solution is for everyone around me to stop eating edible food and to switch to a liquid-only diet. That's clearly practical and beneficial to everyone.

I agree, when I lived at home, there were times when I'd literally pick up my plate and leave the table because I couldn't stand the sounds... A couple of the individuals don't see a problem with chewing with their mouths open.

My mom and my aunt both hum when they eat. It wouldn't be so annoying if they could carry a tune.

this is a good rant. My buddy makes a "lip smacking" sound when he eats. His wife and I joke about it, but man it drives me crazy.

you guys need to turn the tv volume up louder when you eat

I hate it when people are chewing gum and they sound like cows chewing straw. You can hear the gum smack their lips and teeth, and there are some people that actually start spitting because they chew gum with their mouth open.

It disgusts me!!

My sister-in-law and potato salad ... a really bad combination.

And gum chewers can be obnoxious, we had a women at my office who would trap little air bubbles in her gum so every 3-4 chews would result in a tiny little bubble pop. That really bothered me.
