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

  • It happened again the other day. The same person munched on a bag of crisps while walking down a pavement. I walked really fast to escape the munching noise, and this kind of ruined what was supposed to be a pleasant late afternoon stroll. I am too polite to tell her how offensive I find the constant grazing. Earlier she had put some hand cream on in my company, creating a horrible smell, and this is why I decided to go on a walk in the first place, to escape the 'clinical' smell of the hand cream. I don't know why it bothers me so much, but it does, for a variety of reasons.
