the more attention you give it, the louder it seems. try and ignore it as hard as it is.
or take her food off her and tell her to eat nicely Grin

Turn around with a concerned look on your face and ask her if she's ok. If she looks at you puzzled just say you thought she was choking on her food with all the noise she was making Grin

I was on a bus last week with a woman who slurped an Alpen bar.

Noisy eating makes me fizz with rage. Why did no one ever teach these savages table manners?

These chompers are always the sort to then use their paper napkin as a hankie and have a good post-scoff root around in their nostrils and then examine said napkin thoroughly.

Punching's too good for noisy eaters. Throw her to the lions!

I work with someone who licks the inside of her yogurt pot with her tongue when she can't get any more out of it with a spoon. It makes me feel violent.

I had to endure a 30 minute train journey the other day with a woman eating an orange in the most lip-smackingly, slurpy manner. It was hideous and no amount of glaring over my paper decreased the decibel level obviously I'm too much of a wuss to actually say anything

Ugh. My ex is a really noisy eater, not just the chomping and slurping but the little "nngh nngh mmnngh" noises he made too.

I cannot bear it. YANBU. Punch her for all of us.

Ugh ugh UGH.. I HATE it!

My ex did it too, and shovelled food into his gob so no wonder!
I said something when the rose tinted earplugs fell out a couple of times, but he still did it! After a year he just got looks, and would say I was controlling. Well IF YOU JUST ATE WITH YOUR FUCKING MOUTH SHUT.

Sigh...

Talismanic I actually cringed reading your impression! Grin

Erm I have to admit ... But I am a noisy eater... I can't help it really I can't
I don't do the napkin thing as mentioned up thread
I just forget myself and eat " like a cement mixer" the family say
If its any consolation I don't eat out in public, very rarely anyway

Someone on the bus today was eating cake with sticky icing.

Every time she picked it up, took a tiny bite, and sucked all five fingers one after the other, slurp slurp slurp slurp slurp. And then began again.

I wanted to bloody murder her.

Not the same...but sort of...

Went to a gig last night, and in my usual fashion stayed to the edge at the side so I could see. Three young lassies behind me...maybe 17/18? One was pressed right into my back and sang along utterly tunlessly at top volume throughout.

She was really gripping my shit and distracting me from the actual singer. I tried to tell myself not to be such a miserable hag, and that it's ok to sing at a gig....but honestly...they're not really a sing along sort of band...no one else was singing...we were all there to listen.

Elbowed her in the tit a couple of times but she never noticed.

Haate it. It borders on a phobia for me. Punching is far too mild.

My DM's step-dad eats fucking loudly with his mouth open.

Makes me want to KILL small fluffy things. Angry

Ohh that made my skin craw.. YANBU.... The other thing that annoys me and makes me feel sick is people who eat with their mouths open or people who talk with their mouths full.... Gross!

My dad grumbles and grizzles like a grizzly bear when he eats. GRRRRR!! Grrrrrr...grrrr.....GRR! Homnomnomnom..grrrr...nomnomnom...
It's embarrassing. People stare, and none of us can look one another in the eye, for fear of laughter.
He has no idea he's doing it.

My sister hums to herself when opresented with food (especially particularly yummy stuff). She does a little shoulder shimmy too. I'm sure she doesn't know (yet). She's approaching 50.
