People who chew with their mouth open.

[89coupe]

How many people do you know that chew with their mouth open? Fuck it drives me nuts, and grosses me out at the same time.

I know this one little Vietnamese chick who is a real cutie but man, the moment she starts eating, all her cuteness goes straight out the door...LOL

[EnRich]

I know exactly what you mean... Sometimes my girlfriend does that when I have her over for dinner or whatever. If I can still hear it after I crank the volume on my tv I'll usually just leave the room. Must be an asian thing

LOL, why don't you tell her to close her mouth? Let her know how gross it sounds and maybe she would be self conscious about it and stop...LOL

Ya, that's right up there with going for pho and having them slurp it up worse than a f'in horse at a trough.....

[Melinda]

This is by FAR my biggest pet peeve EVER. I think it's absolutely disgusting. I dont want to listen to or see the food in people's mouths. Yet if we were to say something to someone who was doing it, we would be the rude ones. Go figure.

How could anyone call you rude? You only made the second level of hell, that's like being a saint! haha

[tom_9109]

they're almost as bad as mouth breathers.

[benyl]

It is totally an asian thing.

Koreans are really bad... have you every seen a korean chew gum... fuck, you can't miss it!

Mainlanders are also bad... they add a little bit of spit action too... haha

[HHURICANE1]

My brothers kids do that. It makes me sick to my stomach. I have to leave the table when they are around. You see it more and more these days. Smacking gum, mouth wide open eating, it's disgusting. It's not just asians, it seems that women now are the prime offenders. It appears parents don't teach their children even basic table manners anymore.

[Kritafo]

haha! Yes I agree. It's totally gross, took my kids to the mall the other day, between the people who drag their feet and chew with their mouth open I was completely bent out of shape.

We are living in a society without manners. I see just as many white people doing it.

Adding to this pet peeve, people who TALK and CHEW at the same time...with spit and food flyin' out of their trap. Isn't this the kind of stuff you learn when your 4 years old NOT to do?

depends on what i'm eating and who i'm with. if i'm eating something with my hands (ie fried chicken, ribs, etc) by myself, i pig out. mouth open, gorging sounds, all that.

but if i'm with people then i civilize myself.

[jay42w8]

correction its NOT an asian thing...its an asian FOB thing...and yes, its fucking gross...its weird though, its not all fob's that do it though

As much as I can't stand it either, it's apparently a cultural thing. Not sure about the Viet's, but in Japanese culture, it's considered a sign of respect for the restaurant if you slurp up your noodles (in their case, udon's) as loudly as you can.

As for the whole chewing with mouth open thing, I totally agree that it's an Asian thing. But if you think about it, any culture other than North American (if you can even call that a culture), has very little "manners" if you will in everything they do anyway. So I think it's just us NAs that sees it as a sign of disrespect, whereas for others, it's not considered a big deal.

Btw, I'm Chinese, and though I know better than to chew or talk with my mouth full, my family does it, and despite numerous "friendly advice," they still continue doing it.

^^^^ werd

japanese culture it is like respect.

i slurp when i eat pho i don care it cools the noodles down.

my dad chews with his mouth open.

honestly i know lots of people that chew with their mouth open, i really could care less

but when i eat unless im really comfortable with the people im eatin with i sometimes chew with my mouth open its how i eat fast.

[hjr]

I have to give you a big fat negative on that one. You obviously haven't been to Europe or South America. Etiquette is intrinsic to their culture. The men automatically pull out the chairs and open doors for the women, it's 2nd nature. People just know to eat and chew gum with their mouths closed. North Americans generally are much less cultured than South Americans and Europeans in particular.
