I don't know about all of you, but my roommate eats soooo loud. Mouth WIDE open and slurps almost. He sounds like a German Shepard, Horse, and Cow all chewing at the same time.
Does this bother anyone else?
Any Family members or friends that eat like that?

I once broke up with someone partially because he scraped his teeth along his fork while eating, then followed up with the subsequent loud chew. I'm thankful that my husband is a quiet eater. My children? Another story and the correction is in progress...

I find a little super glue applied to the lips helps greatly! I do find it distracting when the diner companion sounds like they should be eating with the animals. You may be able to break them of the habit if you start putting their supper plate on the floor by the kitchen door - make sure to put a water bowl next to the plate.

My friend in grade school used to smack his lips while he ate. It used to drive me nuts. Then, one day I was invited over for dinner. This must have been around the 4th grade mind you. He had a large family of 3 brothers and 2 sisters. Much to my horror, everyone in the family ate the same way. I eventually had to tell him to knock it off but it wasn't until I was 15 or so that I had the nerve.
THat would be one of those weird quirks however that would prevent me from getting close to a member of the opposite sex.

Whenever I'm around someone that eats like a horse (may I state that I grew up on a ranch and am quite familiar with the animal smackings) I just stop eating and stare at them with total and utter disgust. When they look at me and ask "What?"...I just shake my head and get up from the table. That usually makes the point clear or it means I can no longer associate myself with this person.

But you know what really burns me up? Commercials with loud eaters. When I see a commercial in which I can hear a person eating, I make a point of NOT buying that product. Some advertisers are SO stupid.

Eructations, slurping, slopping, dribbling and spitting bones onto the floor and table top.
Hilarious to see the horrified and sickened expressions that some westerners made seeing all this. (They ALWAYS had a big breakfast and thus were not hungry at lunch time, yeah right)
Me, I just got into it and slopped away.

I absolutely hate that. My girlfriend's sister eats like a f***en cow. If I'm around someone who is doing it, I usually try to give them the look of disgust. If that doesn't work I have to say something. It actually bothers me so bad when people do that, that I'll try to avoid eating with them again at all costs. Don't these people know they eat like pigs?

It's disgusting and unappetizing. Don't these people know they eat like pigs!

LoL! Sounds like a perfect scenario for comedy. Very nice.
I work at a home for kids on the weekends and when they are eating like pigs...I make them pull back and stop eating...correct them and if they do it again I throw their food out....
I CAN"T STAND IT!!!!!!!!
Piss on me once ...that's your fault...Piss on me twice that's my fault....
