No but you are unreasonable to say 'lounge' - it's sitting room. Grin

AgentZigzag · 07/04/2011 22:04

I went through some options while I was waiting for your thread to load - farting?/slurping?/snoring?

YANBU, crunching is the same a/a Grin

SquirtedPerfumeUpNoseInBoots · 07/04/2011 22:04

No. Can't stand crisp crunching from anyone but me!

Katisha · 07/04/2011 22:04

HATE loud eating.

AgentZigzag · 07/04/2011 22:04

It's not tondelayo, it's a front room Grin

AgentZigzag · 07/04/2011 22:05

Katisha · 07/04/2011 22:05

SquirtedPerfumeUpNoseInBoots · 07/04/2011 22:05

Grin I grew up in the Southern Hemisphere and now live in the Northern.

It is a llllloooooouuuuuuuuuunnnnnnngggggggggeeeeeeeee. With couches in it: not sofas.

and a bloody irritating husband crunching crisps ..... well, in the Far South we call them chips, but that would be too confusing!

Oh lord it'll be lollies next.
And not the ones on sticks.

bubblecoral · 07/04/2011 22:06

Yes, YABU. Make him leave. I have exactly the same problem with DH and monkey nuts.

I could tolerate his farting because it the after effects last a short(ish) while. The crunching: takes bloody ages. And it is a HUMUMGOUS packet he is working his way through.

We have a living room and a sofa, we never EVER sit on a couch ARRGGHH!! Hate that word!

Oh and OP, yes YABU, send him out, if he wants to eat like a pig make him do it in the garden :o

FunnysInTheGarden · 07/04/2011 22:08

Lollies: Nope - sweets. Lollies are on sticks. Bit obvious, I would have thought.

It's the living room actually.
And you're definitely not BU, I hate noisy eaters. I also have to move if anyone is crunching/slurping near me. It's my pet hate.

AgentZigzag · 07/04/2011 22:10

bigbeagleeyes · 07/04/2011 22:12

DontGoCurly · 07/04/2011 22:12

To the manly hoggers of the TV;

Take the Doritos
Take the remote
I'll get me couchcosy
You get your coat !!!

MrBloomEatsVeggies · 07/04/2011 22:14

YANBU. Masticating noises make me shudder with revulsion.

I, of course, nibble silently.

Bringonthegoat · 07/04/2011 22:15

Living room, sofa.

Kick him out Smile

MrBloomEV, it's all those mouthy noises, isn't it? Spit slapping, teeth grinding, food chewing, liquid swallowing. Drives me nuts!

It's the sitting room and a settee and my husband has not forgiven me in 20 years for crunching biscuits too loudly, and allowing a waitress to take his cup away when there was still a mouthful of tea in it.......

Sigh, but you marry for better for worse, ( which of us is getting the 'for worse'?)
