CoWorker & chewing gum?

[TaytoAllDay]

I have been listening to her chewing loudly and smacking her lips together for the last two hours.

I think I might actually go insane!!

Does this annoying anyone else??

I can't stand people chewing with their mouth open it just is so vile

I sound so intolerant

Stand in front of her and do exactly the same until she gets the hint.

The idea of chewing gum makes me feel sick, and I have to look away if I see someone chewing - audible chewing is beyond the pale .

YANBU

Does it annoy me? If I were you I'd be dangling her out a window by her ankles by now.

Cannot STAND loud eating/chewing noises. I generally stick my headphones on at work when the bovine chompers start up.

I have a colleague who eats really loudly. It's infuriating. She doesn't seem to care. People have made direct comments to her about it in the past but nothing changes. She is also a tea slurper. Some days I could kill her without a single regret.

It's so infuriating isn't it! Really grates on my nerves.

@zibbido that made me laugh, will do so tomorrow

@tidydancer oh god, people have made comments about it to her & she hasn't stopped? I would be so embarrassed if I were her !!

I would not be able to bear that! Are earplugs or earphones an option?

I don't think she cares, or possibly she thinks it's not a problem and people aren't being serious regarding their comments about it. She's a very dominating personality in the office and any criticism about anything just goes right over her head. She just believes herself to be absolutely right about everything. I don't think it occurs to her that she is the constant irritant of the whole office.

This drives me insane. It actually amazes me that anyone could be so fucking ill mannered as to chew or eat with their mouth open.

When I see (not so young) children doing it in restaurants, in particular, you need only look to the parents to see they are exactly the same.

YANBU and I share your pain!

@rachel0greep I'm actually going to buy those wireless iPhone ear phones so I can put one in my right ear so I can block it out!

@tidydancer she sounds like exactly the kind of person I would dislike, how people are so shameless is beyond me

@daviesmum honestly it's terrible, exactly - they learn it off their parents. I just don't understand why people can't learn basic social etiquette

I know this doesn't help you with the problem, but I am so glad this drives other people up the wall and it isn't just me. I swear I could sometimes run amok with a flamethrower when there is a noisy chewer around.
