Do you get annoyed with people's 'eating noises'?

Post Reply New Topic

To a degree- usually it is with someone smacking their lips or if I see them eating with their mouth open, then I get grossed out and annoyed. I never like watching people eat, just incase I get a glimpse of chewed up food rolling around in their mouth.

i'm so glad you posted this! i have always been so irritated by the sound of other people eating. the sound of rattling packages, smacking, gross swallowing noises, slurping, the sound it makes when people chew something crunchy....drives me crazy! my dad used to smack hip lips and clank his spoon on his bowl. sometimes i'd feel my blood start to boil! it's like i'm incapable of ignoring small sounds no one else pays attention to.

hate all eating noises not just the louder ones. It is called "misophonia" if anyone wants to google it and eating noises are one of the most common noises. I get an urge to hit people if they eat in front of me and have to use all my self control.

I was reminded of this thread when my daughter threatened to eat with her mouth open today if I didn't call the dog over to my side of the room. It worked- I got the dog to come over. I don't usually cave like that either.

I realised that my brother and mum make a lot of eating noises. It drives me nuts

makes my blood boil and so does any human bodily function for that matter!

can't stand someone talking with their mouths full
picking their teeth
slurping
lip smacking
not eating perfectly quietly
having bits of food on their face
eating with their mouth open
scraping their fork
licking their knife
chewing chewing gum
feel like i'm going to smash the place up when i'm around people eating
also have a problem with the way they eat and use their cutlery
can't bear someone eating with their fork upside down. i know its the normal thing in the US, but in the UK its only for eating rice, pasta and stuff


and have other pet hates - sniffing, snorting, clearing throats, sneezing, sometimes coughing - that make my stomatch turn

Try eating ramen soup without slurping.

And going AAAAAAAAAARGH after a good meal is MANLY. Manly men like good food.

YES!! !! YES!! !! BLOODY YES!! !!

People think I'm being MEAN when I mention it, but I just DON'T CARE!! !! It DRIVES ME BANANAS!! !!

Of course, you'll have those same people refer to the way I eat chicken all the way down to the BONE. But at least I try to be QUIET doing it!! !!

I also HATE it when people GULP their beverages! I take great care NOT to do THAT as it makes me SICK to HEAR it!

There are many times when I'll go eat alone rather than to listen to that cacaphony of sound!

BLEHEHEHEHEHEHEH!! !!

Yes. The sounds other people make in general annoy me. Eating and throat clearing are probably my worst pet peeves.

I hate listening to people eating. When I was in elementary school, I used to bring a bag lunch and eat it in the art room so I wouldn't have to listen/smell all the food and get overwhelmed by all the people's noises.

I also can't stand my parents eating and chewing gum. They call me rude and other words, but sometimes I have leave the room when it gets too overpowering.

Oh, God YES!!

I despise the sound of people slurping and chewing!! !! It takes my appetite away flat-out. It doesn't matter if their mouths are politely closed, I still hear it and it's disgusting.

Intensely annoyed. My mother is a nightmare to eat near. Her teeth clack, she slurps and breathes heavily through her nose, and she can scrape metal eating implements to make the most appalling range of shrieks. Her hearing's bad so she doesn't hear herself.

Fortunately, I'm old enough to have arranged utterly different eating times and locations. But on the few social occasions that I have to eat with her I sometimes have to give an excuse to leave (bathroom, phone) until she's finished the worst of it.

Other people are easier to ignore, but it still bugs me if I'm near them.
