Noisy eaters
Since I was a child this has got to me. It was drummed into my head from a young age that the way to eat was lips closed and no noise.

This has since left the realms of decent behaviour.

Last week I actually left a train. This one woman sat opposite me and began eating what most would call a picnic, but what this oafish twot probably called a snack. Why she couldn't wait more than 30 minutes till she got off the train to start her mid afternoon tucker. Almost certainly because she had dinner waiting for her. Anyhow, the fucking noise this orca was omitting was atrocious. We're talking sandwich, crisps and a can of coke. The holy trinity. Watching, listening and smelling (Tuna) got too much, so I got up and walked off before she pulled out the Calor gas cooker and started knocking up some bacon to go with her lard.

Would normally take a great deal for me to drop my usual British reserve, but slobbering whilst eating will do it.

I agree, though it's hypocritical
I can't stand it when people do it. Though it's a struggle for me to shut my mouth in the best of times, eating is nigh-on impossible to do with my gob shut, but I bloody try. One person asked me politely to shut my mouth, but were VERY understanding when I said I couldn't.

But I see people who walk around with their mouth shut all day, but then visually inform me what they're having RIGHT NOW and what stage of mastication they've reached. Not. Right.

Tell
me about it. I'm always doing it, and feel a certain self loathing when I do because of the loathing I have for others that do it.

I like bacon.
Bacon is yummy.

I also
occasionally find it hard to eat with my mouth closed, although it's generally hard when I have a blocked up nose or something and I'll try to cover up my mouth while chewing so people don't actually have to LOOK at the beautifully mushed up food in there :p Some people aren't so politely minded however.
