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

Parents

  • Two generations ago children were taught that eating down the high-street, unless at a festival or by the seaside, was vulgar and bad manners. How times have changed, and I am only 25. This is Americanization, corporate/consumer Capitalism, where time is movement instead of contemplative 'being'. People smoke, eat, text  while walking: an oral culture, mindless and banal.
