Hate the sound of people eating when I am not eating.

Hope

I hate the sound of people eating crunchy  and/or smelly food when I am not eating with them, and the person concerned is either with me or are eating in a non food related place (including supermarkets). If I am eating with them, I am fine. I do not know why this is the case, but I feel angry and as though I want nothing to do with them. I am also very pedantic and think that food should be eaten at set times, my set times. And while knowing that it is unrealistic for other people to abide by my rules, I get angry when people do things like munch on biscuits in a public walkway, shop, or when there mind is engaged elsewhere. Forgive my snobbery, but I think it is uncouth and animal like

  • Yesterday I was with someone who, at 3.30pm, said she needed to eat a sandwich. 3.30pm!!! Had she not already had lunch? Yes, she had - quite a big one at that. Anyway, that was bad enough, but she ate  it while walking down the high-street and inside a book shop!. How vulgar!. I felt so stressed, and started walking fast so that I would not hear the munching and smell the product. Then, in a supermarket, she ate some nuts and dried fruit. Constant munching and grazing, so uncouth and slovenly.
