To wish people wouldn't speak with their mouth full of food

[HurricaneFliss]

Well, MiL and FiL to be specific.

Lovely people but I've had to ensure lunch, tea and now cake with them speaking with their gobs full of grub.

MiL covers her mouth with her hand but it still grosses me out.

How can they not know?!

YANBU. I refuse to sit opposite my FIL any more as last time I did, I almost threw up on my plate.

YANBU, I cannot stand poor table manners. I’d be refusing to eat with them.

This so bleurghh. I've noticed this only since coming to Australia, and only women do it: cover their mouth with their hands and carry on talking through the the food.

I wait and then say: "I 'm sorry I couldn't hear what you were saying."

Vile, also eating with your mouth open makes me heave.

I have a colleague, in her fifties, who chews gum with her mouth open all day. How where these people never corrected as children?

I'm boycotting Xmas Day at their's this year because after 20 years I can't take my Christmas dinner being ruined by lack of table manners.

They get annoyed with me when they ask a question and I won't answer until I've finished my mouthful. They think I'm weird!

My mum's number one rule - "dont eat with your mouth open!"
no 2 was say thankyou to the bus driver

Heave....

I've had that from people too!
Horrendous to see chewed up food swilling around people's teeth while they are talking. 🤮🤮
I actually know someone who talks through coughing fits!

My dads table manners have deteriorated with age. He regularly eats with his mouth open - but the worst is he doesn’t wait for everyone to sit down before he starts eating. He is often finished his starter before everyone is even seated, and will tuck into his main course as soon as the plate hits the table, while everyone else is still bringing food from the kitchen!

Boak, I had a colleague who constantly did this and everyone used to mention it. My mum does it but thinks cos she tucks thebfood into her cheek it’s ok, Erm no it can still be seen. My dad had horrible manners. Eating with mouth open and making smacking noises as he went.....think that’s why it grosses me out so much as I had to endure it for years.

@dollymixture, I hate the waiting for everyone whilst meals get colder. Tuck straight in is what I always say.

Gives me the rage. It’s so foul.

Yanbfu. Ugh. Nothing worse than this.

Red mist descends

YANBU

Drives me fucking nuts. I actually have to make an excuse and exit if someone is talking to me with their mouth full. My MIL is the worst for it

@Fluffyears the worst part about the 'tucking it into the side of the mouth' one is that when they talk it makes the most disgusting noise as their mouth moves. It kills me

Ugh I seriously hate this. Having a bit of an issue recently with stepkids making kind of smacking noises when they eat too

They get annoyed with me when they ask a question and I won't answer until I've finished my mouthful

This is me and DH,

My DH constantly speaks with his mouth full...and he will ask me a question and full on stare at me, until I finish my mouthful and answer

This is why we do not sit at the table to eat any more as i am directly opposite him and it makes me fucking squirm being stared at angrily whilst i chew, cos i aint answering quick enough

I've never had a "working" or "business" lunch but wonder how that goes. Does person A ask a question, then pop a forkful in her mouth and wait for Persons B C D to finish their mouthfuls before they answer or do they squish the food to the inside of one cheek and just talk like they do on the telly?
