Eating Noises
Maybe this has been posted already somewhere, but I ride the bus and I'm constantly assaulted by people sitting behind me who like to either 1) suck their teeth (okay, just get a toothpick already), 2) chomp and snap their gum, or 3) chew and chomp their food (which they shouldn't be eating on the bus) really really loudly. Sometimes I can get up and move, but sometimes I can't. I've taken to wearing my earphones constantly and that helps. God, I hate that. I'll put up with slurping or phlegmy, hacking coughs a lot more than those chomping noises or snapping gum. Ugh. Just grosses me out. I think loud cell phone conversations are the only things that come close.

I could care less about phone conversations, I work in an office I overhear ALL kinds of things, but any repetitive mouth noise makes me INSANE!!! The woman who's office adjoins mine by a large open window space makes these wierd pig noises and slurps her food... Oh and there's this one Salesman who schnarfs a lot. Ew. I sat across from him at a lunch meeting and I nearly threw up in my little box lunch from listening to him eat macaroni salad. Grody. Old people tend to make a lot of phlegmy noises, and I am surrounded by them. Gum has it's own category with me: It is the most DISGUSTING thing that I can think of. I would rather sit next to the greasiest smelly bastard than smell juicy fruit on someone's breath. *gag* or see them touch their gum with their hand and then slurp it back into their mouth!!! Especially anywhere near any kind of public transit. I want to slap them and say "do you know what anthrax is?"....
*sigh* I feel a little better now... today was a rough day... I had to sit in my boss' office for half an hour while she - no slim minny - scarfed a cup of chili from WENDYS and then proceeded to say that she had something in her teeth, and pick at them with her extremely long fake nails... *shudder*
I feel your pain. I ...
I feel your pain. I really truly do. That would drive me bonkers and then picking your teeth with dirty fake nails. EUW! God. Just know that you are not alone.
oh man... I just happened ...
