Is it normal to hate the sound of people eating?

I hate the sound of people eating. It drives me mad. I hate it when people eat stuff like cereal and soup and slurp and make a noise, or when they shove hot food in there mouths and then try and eat without spitting it out. I have to leave the room when people eat cuz it makes me
Cringe. Does anyone else feel like this? I hate to be rude to people and some are worse than others but I just can't stand it!

    UGHHH I'm listening to it right now!! My roommate eats like a cow! She chews with her mouth open to the point where it makes me sick!! She sometimes even licks her fingers...it's so gross!!! I wish I could leave the room...but it would be weird to stand in the bathroom for like 10 minutes and wait for her to be done eating XD

    Yes totally normal. My husband sounds so gross when he eats I have to leave the room. He knows that I hate it especially when he talks while eating. His slurping is the worst. He thinks it's cute to act like a 5 year old but it's really just annoying.

    Yes yes yes!!! I can't stand hearing people eat! It's so awful! I get especially annoyed when I am on the phone with someone and they start eating something. UGH! Are you starving that badly that you can't wait a few minutes to get off the phone before chowing down on some food?! Yuck!

    I don't like it either, and I'm not sure why. It's perfectly natural and has no reason to inspire hatred. But yeah, I know what you mean.

    YES. I know exactly how you feel. I always hated going to lunch in high school and have everyone around me making those annoying eating noises.
