To want to drop kick noisy eaters?

[Bambino81]

They drive me absolutely craaaaaaazy.

Fair enough if it's a young child still trying to master the art of table manners but adults that do it? >.

It's the ones that chew and talk at the same time that makes me feel like committing murder.

My mother does it. My family all fight between themselves to not sit opposite her if we eat together on the rare occasion

Yeah me too. Can't sit within earshot of someone chomping, it bugs me so bloody much. It's actually a condition (when eating noises drive you crazy), there's a name for it but I can't remember it... Don't think there's any excuse unless you've got problems with the choppers.

Glad I'm not the only one. I have to get out the room as well or they'll be someone wearing their dinner

I hate it too. My BIL does it, gross.

YANBU. It makes my blood boil.

I hate it too! I hate to sit opposite to some adult who eats with theit mouth open.

Oh...and I also hate being in a restaurant only to hear some rude person blow their nose loudly...GET TO THE LOO!!!!!!

FIL's jaw clicks when he eats, I know he can't help it but jeez it's annoying. I have to drown the noise out with wine.

wanting to "drop kick" people who eat noisily?
Sounds quite psychotic to me to want to do this to anyone

I hate it. Dh has a habit of chomping on chewy sweets in a really awful noisy way. He knows I hate it, although I rarely say anything I think I just visibly wince.

I used to work with a guy that when he came into the break room to eat his lunch I would actually have to leave and eat elsewhere because of the excessive mouth open, lip-smacky, slurpy eating he did.

'Misophonia'. It's a phobia that I have.

FIL waits til he has half a bread roll in each cheek then talks. Gross, gross, gross!!

I am SO intolerant of bad table manners.

Noisy eaters, mouth full talkers, people that drink when there's food in their mouth, nose blowers, in particular our friend who blows his nose at the table into linen napkins!

Then there's the other offenders that hold a knife like a pen. Grrrr!

I used to be so constantly bunged up with chronic tonsilitus and colds that I could not breathe through my nose, and I fear I became one of those open-mouthed noisy eaters. Thankfully I've had my tonsils out now, so manage to eat with my mouth closed most of the time now!

In my defense, I would often (and still do from habit) put my hand in front of my mouth if I felt I was being particularly gross!

GilbertandGeorge Blowing nose into linen?? I would go berserk!!

YANBU!

Definitely not.

I too despise noisy eaters. In fact any bad table manners make me simmer with rage.

Trained 'em ell up in this house though - so I have to work on the visitors ha ha haha

yanbu I hate it too, but what worries me is how do you know if you're doing it yourself?

Yup. 'fraid so Cherrypie! He also pisses all over loo floor and last time he was here, was observed skating around room with an oven glove (emma bridgewater, grrr) on his foot to mop up his spilled red wine.

Bad guest!

Oh god!! He would not be back to my house!

Ooh, can I join in, after you drop kick I could be there to catch them, to whip them with a freshly laundered napkin

I used to work with someone who nobody wanted to share a table with, or even sit within ear-shot of.

Doesn't bother me at all.

Oh and....munch.......munch...YA...munch......BU!

I HATE people that eat with their mouths open. I relished being pregnant as I could hide my hatred under hormonal obscurity and (my office is a place where a lot of people come to have their lunch) would say to people 'either et with your mouth closed or take your lunch to the canteen please'. Dont know what I'm going to do when I return and can't blame the hormones.

My DH used to chew with his mouth open before we lived together. If he hadn't leanred to chew properly, I would have moved out within a week.

My DMum GULPS every drink. Proper glug glug noise which makes me itch.

While on the subject of table manners, is it just me or is nose blowing at the able disgusting? I've been told by various people that it's perfectly acceptable if the perpetrater person turns their head aside. But for some strange reason it makes me want to puke.

Ooh, I know what you mean, I work with someone, a tiny bird-like woman who runs every lunchtime and not surprisingly comes back hungry but my, the noise she makes eating a sandwich, even a banana and let's not even thing about the eating of apples - I have simply never come across anything like it! I have sometimes gone for a walk around the block just to escape it. Neurotic I know but it drives me batty and makes me eat hyper-silently.

I do double-dip though. As in, with breadsticks, dip into the sauce, eat and then dunk into the sauce again. Oooops, I know I shouldnt. Tbh, if I were eating with a very picky person, I'd probably curb it, but it would take a lot of effort.
