I've started to notice this on TV more and more. Actors spraying pastry crumb s everywhere as they talk. Urgh

Yuck, I don't like it either

My mum tells DCs not to do it (she was big on this growing up too) but she does it herself all the time.

At least tuck it in your cheek.

I think the implication on the highbrow TV shows I watch is that what they have to say is so urgent they can't swallow their doughnut first

We went our for a meal this afternoon and DS1 (who is 12 and has gone a bit pre-teen-sulky of late) ate like an absolute animal at the table, chewing with his mouth open and speaking with bits of cow hanging out his trap. I felt like Michael Caine in Miss Congeniality where he shouts at her for the masticated cow. Do teenagers forget how to be human once puberty sets in?

It's a revolting habit that more and more people take part in.

my husband does it and it makes me want to puke. I may leave him because of it

Make sure you throat punch him before you leave and shout "close your trap, close your trap, close your bloody trap" as you close the door.

Urgh...

I spent every meal time and every snack time telling my kids over and over again to shut their damn mouths... They gradually get better at it over the course of a week or so, and then they go to XH and his GF and SS for the weekend and all come home completely incapable of acting like humans again and I have to fight AGAIN....

My mother does it. She tucks it in her cheek but you still see it and it makes me want to heave. Swallow then speak ffs!

Deirde in Coronation St. did it a lot.

Chrissie in Emmerdale used to just spray spit everywhere when she wasn't trying to pout and gurn. I am so pleased she has been killed off.

And when did people stop putting a hand over their mouth when yawning or coughing? Who wants to see that? Envy
