[coldmorning]

annoying.

 

[IllusionOfHappiness]

Disgusting, if you're eating as well. Close yer damn mouth!

 

[Toad Licker]

It's highly annoying. :twak

 

[seanybhoy]

It's foul they should be hung lol

 

[TorLin]

lol.
i only do it in my own home
lol

 

[Tasha]

Its absolutely annoying for sure! I'd like to rip their lips off.. j/k
In some Asian cultures thou, lip smaking and eating loudly is higly acceptable and shows you think the cook did a great job.

 

[TorLin]

would this include smacking on gum too?

 

[Iced Soul]

I don't encounter it often, but when I do, I lose my appetite. It's just disgusting to me.

 

[TorLin]

i think talking while your mouth full is annoying and rude. lol

 

[Lateralus]

I eat extremely slow. I eat carefully, chew slowly and thouroughly, and avoid getting any food on my lips. Everyone makes fun of how slow I am, but at least I'm not gross. I find it disgusting the way some people eat and sometimes I lose my appetite watching them. Also, eating is a chore to me and I hate that life requires killing and eating other life.

 

[Freedom2010]

Yuck! That has got to be my biggest pet peeve!

 

[nubly]

would this include smacking on gum too?

you mean like that noise it makes when chewing from your molars? nah thats fine

 

[millenniumman75]

Annoying.....I thought only my dog used to do that :lol.

 

[Still Waters]

It's funny-I have a relative that never does that when eating-but if he has gum he openly smacks away.- How can someone understand it's rude when eating yet not apply that same rule to gum chewing? It's all I can do not to say something.

 

[slyfox]

Never noticed it. I'm hard to disgust visually or vocally

 

[seanybhoy]

What's worse is when they smack their lips then slurp their drink aww man you wanna just strangle them lol.

 

[AshenSpirit]

In Japan, isn't it polite to "smack their lips" while you're eating. It shows kindness to the person that cooked the meal. Or was that slurping?

I thought that was burping/belching and if you cover your mouth it's like you're trying to hide your satisfaction.

Either way I think most are probably westernized now to the point where they don't care.
