There was this other kid, American and a son of a friend of a family. He was smacking really loudly too. On the fourth day, at the meal table, I just burst out and said to him, "You're an American, don't chew with your mouth open!" Yeah, the other Frenchies chewed with their mouths closed after that too.

I got it from my dad. He hates chewing noises. There's no way I would chew with my mouth open, but have you ever tried to eat celery quietly?

Gum chomping, cud chewing, gum snapping (it's the new 'cool') soup slurping...drives me absolutely bonkers. People who chew with their mouths open should be shot. And quit spitting! And pick up your fucking feet when you walk!

Forget waterboarding. Just have a bunch of people sniff and snort and snuffle and chew and slurp in front of me.

Oh, and I HATE watching shows or movies where people are kissing and it's all slimy and slurpy sounding. Blech blech ptooey.

My cow orker Natalia used to introduce me and add "She's disgusted by all bodily functions." Because I flinched or cringed or grimaced when people slapped their chops, coughed, sneezed, bled, talked about vomit etc.

I then found it necessary to explain I was not a prude and had no problem with jizz, vaginal lubrication, oral, rimming etc. Because I thought that would be people's first assumption following that comment. Yeah, I guess I hadn't really honed my social skills at that point.
