People who eat with their mouth open
It was driving me mental, but I kept thinking he'd finish in a mo. The ignorant fucker just kept doing it.
My wife reckons there's about three people at work who do it at their desk and it drives her mad too.
Are we alone in finding this disgusting?

I might be a miserable old sod now but i'm sure people never used to eat on trains and buses, not only does it look horrible but smells horrible to.
I've just got off a 124 and a woman was eating mcdonalds, as soon as she'd had enough she just dropped the rest to the floor.

Like many things they obviously do it because they've never been told not to.0

Height of bad manners. Keep your gob shut when you eat, or don't eat in public.

Totally obnoxious0

I live in Hong Kong and it makes me feel sick, never got used to it. My missus slurps her noodles, spaghetti or whatever, followed up by a massive swallowing sound and everything in between. She says that it's polite to the chef to make noises.
It's a fundamental cultural difference so I try not to complain, but it does makes my stomach turn0 -
Doesn't bother me, but I lived far and wide and it's quite common in other cultures.0

Bothers me no end. Also people chewing gum, I cant stand the noise or view.
Might be OK in some cultures but not most. Certainly not western culture, where I live.0 - Sponsored links:

This is fair enough. If I was in Hong Kong and that's the cultural norm, then yes, I'd put up and shut up too.Chunes said:I live in Hong Kong and it makes me feel sick, never got used to it.

The bloke today was on a train from London Bridge to Sidcup. I assumed he was British, but even if he wasn't, He should've shut his noisy piggy mouth.0 -
Gets me mad too : food or chewing gum, but also nail-biting.charltonkeston said:Bothers me no end. Also people chewing gum, I cant stand the noise or view.

As for the Chinese, well,, not so long ago, the great Mao would receive his visitors and have a chamber pot next to him for spitting.
Not surprising, I read somewhere that he never brushed his teeth.

My girlfriends old man does it and a bloke at work is the worst when he eats an apple. The whole office can hear.
Gets right on my tits.0 -
I suppose one hand for scotch eggs the other for pork scratchings.0

Made my kids from an early age go in another room to eat if the done it, honest.
HATE it and not hard to not do it.
Laziness.0 -
Can we also include people who yawn and don't put there hand over their mouth. Happens all the time and it's gross. I don't want to see someones crappy teeth and smell their rank breath.0

I've just had to have a word with my dog about that one :-)LargeAddick said:Can we also include people who yawn and don't put there hand over their mouth. Happens all the time and it's gross. I don't want to see someones crappy teeth and smell their rank breath.

I've found that keeping my mouth shut makes it very difficult to get the food in.0

However, it was impossible not to hear the bloke's mouth squelching and slurping. To be honest, I never actually saw him eat with his mouth open, because I had no intention of looking at him, but I can't imagine any circumstances where he could have been making such noises with his mouth closed. I suppose he may have been playing a recording of a dog licking its balls while he repeatedly brought snacks out of his bag, but I think it's unlikely.

That's a really interesting one. So, does Mrs Chunes have the hump if you don't do it? Is she currently on Happy Valley Life complaining to her friends that you won't eat with you mouth open and that she has to make allowances?Chunes said:I live in Hong Kong and it makes me feel sick, never got used to it.

Used to call that 'eating like a washing machine', because you can see it all going round and round.0

Perhaps my number one pet hate. Animal behaviour.0

Slurp slurp chomp chomp, spit on the floor, have a cig, slurp slurp.0 -
I'm assuming his girlfriend is Hong Kong Ren, rather than Chinese but the point still stands, plenty of people have told me if a man doesn't make a ton of noise whilst he eats it's a sign of disrespect.0

I knew a girl like that. Didn't make a noise when she ate though.Stu_of_Kunming said:

Bus and train travel etiquette seems to have gone completely out of the window, the English ways of sitting as far from others as possible and NEVER sitting next to someone if a seat is available elsewhere are totally disregarded.
My pet hate at the moment (besides chicken bones on the floor) is people who sit on the outside seat and make no attempt to move if someone has to sit next to them.0
