before she gets in to the office to avoid having to listen to her CRUNCH her way through the whole multi-pack like she has done every day for the last two weeks?

I can't believe just how much noise she makes eating bloody mints. It's non-stop and is driving me mad.

Hasn't she got the shits yet?

hellphireblue · 27/10/2010 10:26

is she pregnant? I was sucking sweets all day for 3 months with both DDs........it was the only way I could keep my head out of the toilet long enough to get anything done!!

jumpingjackhash · 27/10/2010 10:29

hell - ha ha! Hardly - she's 'anti family' so I doubt it!

To answer the 'loo' questions, she spends most of her day sitting there crunching, before pissing off early to get her hair done or go to the gym (seriously). Maybe that's just her own euphamism for 'heading to the bog for a bloody big shit' Hmm

She sounds annoying.

Smelly food really gets my goat. There's a couple of people in our small, poorly ventilated office who bring in leftovers from their dinner the night before to reheat in the microwave. The smell lingers for pretty much the whole afternoon...

someone got the sack ?
REALLY ?

Paint a metal washer white and slip it in the packet.

jumpingjackhash · 27/10/2010 11:31

iceandlemon - I can imagine the smell - like old school dinners?!

I think you mean laxative rather than diuretic, due to the sorbitol.

Sorry, I tried sitting on my hands to avoid posting that Blush - hate to be a pedantic twunt

FetchezLaVache · 27/10/2010 15:03

YANBU. "You got a volume control for those Polos?" should get the point across, and guarantee that she won't speak to you for at least a couple of months.

Well, I did it! Mid bone-shattering crunch I ask 'Bloody hell, what are you eating? it sounds like you're crunching stones!'

She admitted she's previously broken a tooth on Polos before! Grrr. STOP IT THEN!

Got a silent round of applause from the rest of the team. Grin

"silent round of applause from the rest of the team."

... to counterbalance the noisy encouragement you've been getting on MN!

Oh I loathe noisy eating and drinking.
YANBU

I use to work with someone who had a thing about chewing pen tops. She would stick the plastic cap off a biro in her gob and just slurp it round and round for hours. After a while I started to hide all the pen tops in the office whenever her back was turned. When she left I gave them back to her in a big brown envelope.

yanbu to hid them, but yabu to blame the cleaners

thereisalightanditnevergoesout · 27/10/2010 19:50

Tell she sounds like a horse.

(we used to give polos to the horses when I used to go horseriding as a child and the two are eternally linked for me now).

witcheseve · 27/10/2010 19:54

I work in an office with oldish men, one coughs constantly but has improved since I mentioned it, everyone eats at their desk so I plug the earphone in and listen to the radio when it all gets too much. I am easily irritated by mouth noises. Grin

unfitmother · 27/10/2010 20:09

YANBU I'd hate that!

Needanewname · 27/10/2010 20:27

Well done!

kelly2525 · 27/10/2010 21:29

"WTF are you eating? Marbles?"

YADNBU, I hate noisy eaters more than anything, its vile, lip smackers, crunchers, those that eat with their mouths open and slurpers should be put up against a wall and machine gunned.

I work with one too, we share a desk, thank god she`s forgotten her strepsils the last 2 days.

wodalingpengwin · 27/10/2010 21:46

YANBU, I can't stand noisy eaters. Pet hate of mine.
