I f*cking can't stand the sound of eating.

When someone is eating something really loudly, especially apples and things, which people always seem to make that click sound with their lips at the end of each mouthful, i get really, REALLY worked up and cant concentrate at all. I just need to leave the room. I cannot stand to be in the same room as that sound, especially the apple sound mentioned.

I think, without exaggerating, that i would go mentally insane if i was forced to listen to someone eat like that for a long time.

I'd even started (this was back when it was just a pet peeve and not such an issue) to identify the sound patterns for each individual type of food being eaten. This came from listening to the majority of my family (who chew very loudly) eating different things. I even get pissed off when someone is drinking loudly, like slurping the coffee cause its hot and then the smack of lips and somewhat appreciative sudden exhale (you know the 'ahhh' souund).

It drives me crazy and im beginning to avoid meal times with my family and other people who eat loudly. Ive never snapped at anyone i just bottle my annoyance up inside. When i hear that dreadful noise it feels like my brain is a taut rope thats tightened even more. I can almost feel the tension building to breaking point.

I already assume this is not 'normal', but is there anyone else like this?

    I always thought I was the only one! Thank you all for making my day :) I work in an open plan office, and why o why does every @#%^%$@ have to bring !%#$&^@%#$ apples to work!!! I hate it so much I actually find my fists clenching up and going into a white-knuckle silent rage lol! But I have actually heard something that is even worse - rice crackers!

    Oh damn! I hate this crap too. Drives me insane and I get really really angry towards people that chew loudly. I'll even hold it against them when we step away from the table.

    I hate when it's all silent at the dinner table, then I hear all those crunching and munching sounds. Ugh...

    Same here but funny thing is, it's only certain people who do it that it aggravates the hell out of me.

    Does your family have any manners? And it is disturbing to hear and see all that crap happening.. But your going a little overboard with this.. You need to have more tolerance. Why because your kids will do this when they're young and peoples cultural differences, you got to understand, everyone is different many ways.. Even though I feel like punching the fuckers too ha
