I have a friend who opens her mouth all the way every time she chews. Bits of food fly out of her mouth with every smack smack smack smack smack of her lips. Its the worst fucking thing ever. And she gets super offended and calls you a piece of shit asshole if you ask her to eat more quietly.
I stopped inviting her over for dinner when we hang out. Now when she comes over, she orders delivery because she never cooks/eats by herself. I can't get away from it.
The worst part is that she's indignant about it. If something I do is gross and offensive, damn right I'm going to thank the person and do something about it
I swear if I have to hear anyone slosh a gooey banana in their mouth for more than 5 minutes I'd blow my brains out. My dad does this every time and I just have to leave the room.
I dunno, calling someone (a friend) a piece of shit asshole for asking you to do something is a pretty big reason to not want to deal with skmeone. Maybe it's just me.
There is one guy in my group that tries to make those unilateral decisions on who is out. What makes me sick is that we let him pull it off.
Now I'm honestly scared of him, it's like he can take all of my friends away.
It's not like we all went zero contact with the guy he wanted out. It's more that now, he's not invited on group vacations, has to buy his own tickets individually to concerts, and doesn't feel welcome at some parties.
It's basically because they have the same taste in women and both NEED to be the center of attention when they are drunk.
edit: I guess I need to elaborate that many of us still tried to include him but eventually he just stopped wanting to come around when certain people would be there. I feel for him because he's actually my best friend and room mate. I understand that he doesn't want to go somewhere he doesn't feel welcome.
I had an ex who did that, yet she would get upset that I kept telling her to close her mouth when she chewed. It was fucking annoying hearing the crunch a few inches from my ear.
Oh dear god. I have misophonia and just the idea of watching/hearing/being around somebody who eats like that actually makes me anxious. I don't know how you put up with it!
My mom has TMJ that makes her jaw pop with every chew. She eats with her mouth closed and all but I can't stand the pop pop pop pop pop when she eats, she also chews gum a lot. She can't help it and I feel bad that it angers me. I have TMJ too that makes my jaw lock if I open my mouth too far but thankfully doesn't pop.
That's so funny! I'm in the exact same situation with my dad. His jaw pops with every chew due to TMJ, and mine pops and locks (but doesn't drop it) when I open it too wide as well. I wonder how common that is, and if there's a genetic aspect to it?
Do you have a hard time eating tall hamburgers? Sometimes I go to take a bite, my jaw locks, and I have to unlock it and try again. Sometimes I give up after the third or so try and flatten the burger as best I can.
I have an aunt staying with us from Nigeria (we're in USA). OH MY GOD. When she chews gum I want to stick a pencil in my ears. And she clangs her teeth on the spoon when eating, especially soup. My grandmother would have beat me red for eating like this.
It's fucking worse when you ask someone to try eat quieter and they go out of their way to eat even louder, like grow the fuck up you disgusting piece of shit.
My brother does the same thing. I've politely asked him if he could eat more quietly, but he just yells at me for mentioning it. Rage has been slowly building inside of me not only because it is disgusting, but it seems to just piss me off.
Fuck this if one of my friends did this I'd the them to close there fucking mouth when they eat. It's rude, annoying, and just gross. I don't care if I come across as an asshole, if you do this fuck you and the click you claim.
One thing parents can do if they have a kid (over age 8) who is eating this way is to place a mirror in front of them and have them watch themselves eating. This can be done in a light, fun way and can provide a positive level of self awareness (and wouldn't hurt a few adults to try on their own if they worry they are gross eaters). If she is sensitive but you really want to get some closure on this, film her eating and at a later time show it to her. She may hate you for it, but at least she will see proof of what you are saying and can make an informed decision as to whether she wants to improve herself (or not). And if not, and you are stuck with her, just absent yourself from her presence as much as possible while she is eating.
I don't know why but suddenly it seems like my whole family does this when I remember my parents always saying not chew with your mouth open. I sit there wondering if I'm the only one who still adheres to this rule
Ugh, my friend's husband does this. His table manners are appalling - he talks while he has a mouthful of food, chews with his mouth open, makes loud slurping noises, and worst of all mashes every mouthful of food against his front teeth with his tongue. If you don't think thats gross, run to a mirror and try it - remember to keep your mouth open while you do it!
Oh, and he's a greedy pig too. I'm a slow eater, so if it's a help-yourself meal, I'll finish a tiny portion in the time it's taken him to finish the rest of the dish. I've mentioned this behaviour is not polite, and he has thanked me for the insight into Australian culture, but he soon back-slides. It's truly disgusting to sit with him during a meal - I spend most of the time averting my gaze.
I invited his lovely wife over for dinner tonight, she just texted to let me know that he's coming too. :(
Your friends call you a "piece of shit asshole"? Sheesh. You must be either a REALLY big asshole who can only get friends that merely tolerate you, or you have shitty friends.
Grow a pair of balls and tell that rude bitch to shut her fat pig mouth. Most of us learned to not chew like a disgusting slob before we could shit in a toilet. God your friend sounds horrible.
I read up on this and have now self diagnosed myself as such. I feel genuine anger and disgust when I hear sounds made by people eating. Not crunching because I can rationalize that but that sound of chewing air, or smacking, or gulping. Basically any sound made by the person while eating that isn't the food being bitten.
I have had it for 23 years now but didn't know what it was until a few years ago, being that there is still so little we know about the condition. I'm sorry you have to live with it. :( It sucks a bag of dicks.
You should check out the Misophonia Activation Scale, if you haven't already. The link has some great resources, too! Also, if you have any questions about it, feel free to message me!
Reading the scale I'm usually level 3 but have experienced 4. I am self diagnosing so it could be any number of things and I could be wrong but it sounds like me. It could even just be confirmation bias too.
Wait. What about loud eating in general like slurping, scraping your fork on your teeth, etc?
I'm normally pretty chill, but once we're eating and there is noise outside of typical conversation, I have to take a moment to collect myself so I don't go apeshit.
It includes a lot of things including breathing, swallowing, snoring etc. Personally a bad one for me is hearing people brush their teeth. I just want to either run away or a scream and punch them in the face
In some Eastern and South-Eastern societies, it is considered polite to eat with your mouth open, or to slurp loudly (soup/noodles/etc...), as a sign of respect to the chef.
Idk, I've been taught all my life to eat with my mouth shut. I srsly can't deal with people who chew and make that loud chewing voice. I had a friend who does this over skype all the time and for the worse his comp's mic picks up the tiny-est of sounds. Its so fucking loud I can barely hear the game we are playing :/
My boyfriend has a really bad habit of this. He originally did it to annoy his awful mother, but then made it into a habit. I just tell him I don't feel like listening to pornos every time we eat.
I don't feel like listening to pornos every time we eat.
Ohh, he's a moaner. You're a better person than I, I've not asked girls out again after hearing them eat. I can't stand lips smacking, loud swallowing, crunching, and especially moaning. Moaning is the fucking worst.
Like seriously, you're having a fucking orgasm over macaroni? WTF is wrong with you?
I don't care much about eating with your mouth open, it's the sound I can't stand...hearing people eat is disgusting..
I'm ok in restaurants where there's some background noise, but I hate going to people's houses for food.
Even when I was living with people I preferred to eat alone unless we were sat in front of the tv or something.
If it's too quiet I just won't eat, partly because I can hear other people chewing and that's awful, and also I'm aware I can't eat silently and the thought of people hearing me eat puts me off..
Oh my god, this bugs me so much. And it's even worse when they become mouth breathers at the same time. And then as if that wasn't enough, they try to talk to you!
Coworker has been doing this. All day meetings and he's .......just.... FUCK!
Super nice guy. But for fuck sake just close your damn mouth!
I was raised in a family that all did this. It wasn't even until high school that someone pointed out I did it and I tried to stop. I still do it sometimes out of habit.
Someone else mentioned a lot of Asians do this. I'm no expert, but I believe it's a cultural thing to eat loudly as a sign of respect/complimentary to the chef
having a big problem trying to get my 7 year-old to stop this. We warn him at every meal, he stops for a minute or two, then starts up again. i don't know how to make him stop
Seriously I couldn't care less about that. You could eat naked in front of me chew unrhythmically while farting rhythmically every 2 seconds and it wouldn't bother me as long as your farts don't smell like gorgonzola that you've bought 2 months ago.
I went to Asia and especially in China it was awesome that nobody cared about how you eat. People eat how they want and you feel 100 times more comfortable while eating in a restaurant. The food becomes automatically more delicious than it already is.
Horrible. I literally refuse to eat with loud eaters. I've had friends where I've told them that they either learn to chew with their mouth shut like an adult, or fuck off around meal time.
I have a buddy that for some reason must have something to eat whenever we're playing a game, and never mutes his mic while he's doing it. I just want to throw up every time I hear someone chewing.
My ex brother in law used to chew with his mouth open and moan and groan like his taste buds were orgasming. I always wanted to hit him in the face with a brick when he did it.
I just kicked out my roommate; I told him it was because he stole liquor and made me late for work for the last two months ... But it was really because he eats with his mouth open.
You know what man, I get it. You don't like it. It's "bothersome" to you.
But seriously, fuck you.
I can't help that I do this. I don't like that my default chewing state is with my mouth open. I've heard it my entire fucking life, and I'm sick and fucking tired of hearing about it. If it was just as easy as closing my mouth, you don't think I'd do it? This isn't on purpose. It's not meant to annoy you. I'm sorry. I'm just sick of hearing about it.
It's the easiest thing in the world. Just shut your damn mouth and make that your habit. If you think about it each time you eat, it'll become habitual. Look at all the other comments and see how much everyone hates it.
You don't think I've grown tired of hearing about it for more than twenty years? If it was so God damn simple, I would just do it, I promise. It just isn't.
Haha food tastes better for me when I eat with my mouth open so it's always a decision between enjoying my food more, and not being hated by everyone for miles around. I really love food tho so I just say fuck eeeerry one else most of the time.
This is one of my biggest pet peeves. Probably because when I was younger my dad engrained in my mind that I need to chew with my mouth shut (I don't disagree) but now I notice more and more that he's a hypocrite for being the loudest motherfucking eater on the planet. I have to bite my tongue all the time, because it drives me crazy and I don't want to be a dick. Then again, I'm trying to teach him his own life lessons so maybe I should speak up.
Seriously. My uncle, my dad, and my grandpa are horrible at eating discreetly. Luckily, most of my cousins and myself have broken the cycle. My brother is somewhere in between. He slurps when he's drinking from a can and it drive me fucking nuts.
My mouth is so small I can't get a good chew if I don't open my mouth. So eating in public sucks because I don't want to be THAT guy. But when I get home, you can bet your ass my mouth is wide open on every bite.
I babysit for two boys, 7 and 9, who don't know how to stop doing this. I have to sit at the dinner table with them and put up with their lackadaisical jaws. Who the fuck is going to hire someone who chomps like these bozos?
Look mate. I'll be honest with you here. I'm a 200 pound male. When I was born, I weighed 8.6 pounds. My sister weighed 8.4. I have 2 brothers, both weighed 10 pounds. If you think my mom will feel anything you go right on ahead, she deserves to be happy and if you make her happy then you eat that roast beef.

Eating with your mouth open.
Just kidding, fuck anyone who does this
