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

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

  • Hohner: strangely, the noise of animals munching does not bother me. I actually love the calming noise of sheep munching on grass, or even pigs eating out of the trough for that matter. I simply dislike humans munching LIKE ANIMALS all the time, particularly because the food in question tends to stink.  My dislike is context specific.
