Ever since I was little I've had this pet peeve that drives me crazy to this day. This is chewing habits. The way people eat has always bothered me and people eating in general just bothers me. I know, ridiculous. I don't really know why this bothers me but it annoys me so much to the point that its all I can think about until they are done eating. I always thought its just when people eat with their mouth open that is my problem but lately I've realized that it's people eating in general. The way they crunch their food, when they eat with their mouths open, etc. I don't like the sounds that come with eating something. It even bothers me te way I eat sometimes too. But my biggest pet peeve about the way people eat is when they chew with their mouth open.
My mom is the worst for this. I have the hardest time eating around her and I am CONSTANTLY asking her to chew with her mouth closed. You'd think she would get it by maybe the 5th time right? Of course notttt! So everyday when it's dinner time I spend it asking her to chew with her mouth closed.
Another thing that bother's me when people eat is when they are eating something cold or wet or even a candy and they make a sound like they are smacking their lips really loud (its hard to explain what I mean) showing everyone else around them how delicious it is. I realize it's probably good but I DON'T WANT TO HEAR YOU EATING IT. It's just not something I like to hear and you do not need to make that noise when you are eating.
Then when people crunch their food, it bothers me too. I know it's obviously not the persons fault because some foods are crunchy and you can't do anything about it but it bothers me. I realize that like everyone else I also crunch crunchy foods but it's just one thing that bothers me. It's one of those things where you can't stop thinking about it until it's over. It's like if someone were to sit there and constantly tug on your hair or poke you for a while, it bugs you. That's how it is for me. But when I was younger it was never as bad as it is now. I notice the way people eat constantly and I have the hardest time sitting there listening to them until they are finished. I obviously don't tell people to eat with their mouth closed because that's just rude but I'm still thinking about it. Because people's eating habits are my biggest pet peeve I am also constantly analysing the way I eat and chew things.
I realize that the way people eat is not the first thing that is on most people's minds when they are eating something delicious so that's why sometimes people eat with their mouth open or do something equally gross while eating. but it's always on my mind and I can't stand it.
So next time your eating something, remember not everyone wants to hear you eat.
I completely know what you mean!
ReplyDeleteI can't stand the sound of myself or anyone else eating chips! I can't concentrate what-so-ever!
