  • I would just goto another room away from that crap or do it back and see what they say so you can tell them to knock it off

    I'm fine with noisy eaters. People who take lots of tiny sips from a very hot drink, get on my nerves. Just wait a few minutes for the damn thing to cool down a bit.

    Yes. And I know that as a fact, because I live with 6 other people.

    Yes, I absolutely hate hearing other people each, even my own smacking irritates me. Loud breathing is only annoying to me in a quiet space like a library.

    My mom smacks really loud when she chews and she breathes excessively loud, so yes, it irritates me.

    What about hearing yourself chewing and breathing? Would you get irritated?

    I can only suggest you listen to music while eating, so get your portable music player and headphones ready for every mealtime, perhaps that may distract you

    I hate it too. Makes me suicidal, I literally can't be around people who make noise when they eat.

    I hate hearing people gulp down saliva too. urgh
