when you're happily snacking on Doritos, or celery or peanut brittle are you just slack-jawedly chomping away like a cow chewing its cud? crunching and slopping away to your hearts content and your ocd neighbors utter shock and horror?

do you notice if you are? if you do, do you not care or are you just fascinated by people's reaction? is it an acoustically pleasing sound in your own head?

let's talk about this and come to an arrangement whereby you eat outside hear the highway and everyone else is happy

deal?

 
Wife says no but I'm always self conscious about eating my apple at lunch.  I guess I don't really care though 

I hope there is a special place in hell for loud movie popcorn chewers 

 
Nope.  Don't like loud chewers, but will give them a break on things like chips, etc.  Hard to control.  On the other hand, eating with your mouth open so I can see all of your half mashed up vittles is disgusting.  I know it may be cultural, but still.........

 
i'm talking loud enough to be heard from 10+ feet away

you chomp and snack loud enough for me to hear you over the office din, someone's getting a desk drawer full of locust

What? Are there cultures that encourage open mouth chewing?

 
Absolutely revolting.. my pop is a loud chewer. I get onto him about it but jesus. Breathing/Smacking/Chewing sounds... I guess he's getting to be an "old man" and just doesn't give a ####, but there are times it ruins a meal for me. 

 
I can handle people that chew loud but please do not eat while you're talking on the phone.  If I'm at work and you're calling me, why did you decide to start eating?

God yes.  My SIL is the worst...anywhere, anytime.  Worst experience at a restaurant with her and my BIL, who curiously has become an open-mouthed lip-smacker over the course of their marriage.  My nephew and niece haven't started...yet

Lip smackers are the worst of the worst.

special circle in hell for those people

worse than Illinois nazis

 
Maybe??  I often wonder about this when I'm eating lunch at the new job. It's very quite and I love croutons. A lot of croutons. 

 
Wife is a loud chewer and I'm amazed.   No idea how she does it because she chews like a normal person

 
He keeps his mouth closed but my son can fill a room with the sound of him chewing chips, Doritos are the worst. Some weird acoustics in there that make it echo. My daughter goes ape #### over it, which he enjoys of course. 

 
One of my exGFs used to intentionally chew quiet. You'd think I'd appreciate the consideration but it was actually more annoying than her just munching for some reason.

 
I get why people don't like the loud chewing but so many people have so many annoying habits that I decided a long time ago to just ignore things as much as possible.  Life is too short to get irritated by small #### all the time.  Rude drivers, eaters, pedestrian, bicyclists, on and on and on - just ignore people and try to be happy.

Is that what it's called? I dated a girl who just could not stand the sound of someone else chewing, no matter how quiet. It was impossible to enjoy a meal together and I often wondered if she had some sort of disorder.

Since I've become aware that it's a legitimate thing, I've been able to control it a bit better, mostly by focusing on something else. But if I'm in an isolated situation, it really does make my skin crawl and anger levels rise. To the point where I'll do something really impolite like either leave abruptly or say something about it.

 
What about methodical chewers?   Same rhythmic sound with every thing they chew.

mostly this but you try concentrating when someone is chomping their way through a bag of chips, laughing, shout-talking and wildly gesticulating all at the same time as they talk "to" you

it's a confluence of frighteningly oblivious actions all at once that are impossible to ignore

now replace chips with fingernails
