What’s a habit that you absolutely hate in people?

Question

I just hate when they make sounds when eating with open mouth, I feel like not eating anything, it grosses me out a lot, I don’t know why. It also causes aggression in me, if I concentrate on it too much, I might feel like slapping someone.

Of course, I’ve never done or never would do it and thankfully, it happens very rarely when I dine with someone who makes such noises. But whenever it happens, I just try to concentrate on something else, cause If I keep listening I just feel disgusted.

Sadly, lots of Chinese people eat that way.

Why do people not close their mouth when eating?

Lying/Dishonesty. I’m getting better at dealing with it. I find being direct when asking questions forces people to wrestle with their conscience. I welcome such questions. My Uncle could definitely relate to that one with his son who was in and out of jail because of meth. My cousin found himself a girlfriend from the Middle East who doesn’t put up with his shit. Probably one of the best things to happen to him as all he does is smoke now. He’s also pretty well behaved. His mother doesn’t appear to fear him now. Not so much hate, but annoyed: Interrupting/Failing to allow pauses/Talking over one another-basically trying to control a “conversation” and not allowing ebb and flow. Lecturing more than actual conversing. Wanting to be heard more than willing to listen. I’ve encountered more and more of that in recent years.

OMG , you nailed my answer ! Man I hate that ( Thai people are the same ) it happened yesterday while I was trying to eat my break - fast @ 3pm , she was on next table.

People - Don't talk when eating ! Don't chew with your mouth open ! Its horrible.

I despise also poor speech , that drives me crazy , If you are going to use a swear word as an adjective , use it sparingly , otherwise there is NO IMPACT ! aaarrrggh

Going back to the food , some years ago in Australia , I had ordered roast of the day , there were just 2 of us , 2 guys , this third guy turned up he is an idiot , was telling jokes ( non funny jokes ) , I just got my Roast it looked awesome , and a giant bit a spit from this mouth flew though the air and right into the middle of the Roast vegetables , that was it , I couldn't eat any of it , goodbye to my roast of the day - disgusting.

Why would you chew without closing your mouth? That's just gross. I personally don't like when people blow their noses in public and don't wash their hands afterwards. I've always considered nose blowing and cleaning out your nose a bathroom thing. I remember when I was younger in school some of the teachers would be like "Can't you just do it in here?" I'm like "No." I mean, I'm going to wash my hands afterwards anyway so why not just let me go and do my personal business? I'd always come right back.

ugh the same as you! i cannot stand those sounds. a lot of sounds just make me so upset, it just sucks

as for the chinese people eating that way, that's big in Asian culture. they will slurp their soup or eat loudly because it tells the chef or whoever made the food that they're enjoying the food/meal. i personally think it's rude

Being unable to get the most common items from the grocery store without having to call their boyfriend or girlfriend to tell them what the choices are.

Whitewulf · Answer

This is hilarious but I really thought it was just me. You described me literally. If someone is crunching chips, ice a fkn tiktak whatever it is, I can feel my blood boils and I too want to roll their head. Right off the shoulders so I have to get up and leave.
isn’t it strange how it’s makes some angry and others probably don’t even hear it.

I agree with your view on table manners. The main thing that I would say bothers me (aside from resisting what you said) is people who act like they “know it all.” No matter what you are talking about they have seen more and done better.

smoking and vaping. That is literally the one habit that would make me say hard pass even to a 10 out of 10 woman. I see her smoking and she starts looking like the below image.

I totally agree with you 👍 💯 It's so gross it makes me lose my appetite honestly

Sonorous · Answer

For me it's just loud noise in general since I have hyperacusis (inner ear damage to cells in &/or around cochlea). But I often protect my ears when I'm near people so I don't hate it as much as I would if I couldn't protect my ears.
