to hate muesli eaters at work

[agentEgypt]

So noisy.

Pick up the bowl, clunk the spoon on the bowl, clunck the spoon on their teeth then smash the bowl back down on the desk. Repeat for an hour gradually making more noise.

Arrrg!

Aibu to suggest they use plastic or just eat at home?

I still recoil when someone reminds me of when the man beside me went on a 'fruit kick'. I had no idea a banana could create such noise being munched. also there is a new lad in another department who uses most of our milk for what can only be discribed as a troff of porridge each morning. I don't use milk in my coffee and it annoys me.

I should add fruit man is only in the office max 2 days a week. It still drove me demented

My office has a caterer who brings our breakfast order to our desks every morning. You'd hate us!

I wish we had the luxury of a staff room! Public sector here, & it's eat at your desk or nothing in our office. But OP YANBU re disgusting metal spoon biting noises, makes me wince just thinking about it.

No staffroom here either.

I'm not trying to be argumentive but aren't all employees entitled to a break, a real break away from the desk/shop floor/office whatever.
I've worked in a wide range of places, both public and private sector and my break and lunch times were my time to do as I wished.

Don't bother so much about the noisy eaters but I loathe the fish and egg scoffers who stink out the office.

But you don't need a staff room to have a break. We don't have set breaks and lunch hours, we can get up and wander as we please.

Our staff room seats 4 and we have at least 40 people on our floor.

Plenty of workplaces don't have a staff room or canteen.

I have breakfast at my desk. Lunch too. But then most of my colleagues have at least one meal at their desk.

Staff room? I wish we had one of those. There is a breakfast bar in the kitchenette that maybe 3 people out of 50 could use.
