I can’t stand the sound of some ppl’s chewing!

Does anyone else feel totally frustrated when they’re having a meal with friends or family?! And then all of a sudden in the lull of temporary silence in the conversation you can actually hear them CHEWING their food?!

And it’s sooo frustrating!! !! !

I’m suffering in silence because I know this would be socially unacceptable to make any scenes!

Probably be worse if you hear them trying to gulp without chewing it! Does a bit of background noise block out the sound?

I hate when people chew and smack their food when they're sitting next to me.

@ DW: Have you thought of buying a pair of noise-blocking headphones? If you have not done so, headphones could help you control sensitivities to different sounds such as loud chewing of food.

i'm not especially bothered by mastication noise in others, but when i hear myself chew, sometimes it can be bothersome especially when my TMJ jaw clicks and grinds, audible as well as palpable.
