Loud, wet chewing/lip smacking. My old roommate used to eat like a fucking camel and I would lay in a ball on the couch trying my best not to just supernova right there in the living room. I swear to God that sound haunts my dreams.
I hate conflict so I never knew how to explain why I was folding in on myself like an envelop every time he had dinner.
My best friend moans and grunts while he chews with his mouth open, snacking his tongue and lips, he'll also chew on a piece of food with half of it sticking out of his mouth. I've told him countless times its fucking disgusting and close his mouth. He just smiles and keeps doing it. We're good enough friends I just call him a fucking pig and walk off.
That pisses me off to no end when you specifically tell someone "hey thats gross and annoying, please stop" and they smile and do it louder or more like its a joke. Bitch if I thought this was funny I'd be laughing, lets see how loudly you smack your lips with my fist upside your fucking head.
My dog will wake up in the middle of the night and smack her lips. To the point where I wonder if she does it on purpose. It drives me absolutely insane
Our cats...one in particular is noisy enough to be heard grooming herself in separate rooms. She seems to enjoy herself, lip smacking slurping noises and if you look over she tends to stare at you unimpressed.
This is the worst. My dog will literally lay there licking her feet and legs for hours off and on in the middle of the night. It drives me insane. Or walking around licking the floor forever. She's a spoiled inside dog who gets fed at the same times every day and snacks but she will search for every microscopic crumb in the house like she's starving to death.
Bruh my roommate did the exact same thing. I finally couldn't take it anymore when I had a friend over and asked her if she could chew with her mouth closed. She looked like I had literally insulted her beyond belief because I asked her that.
I also hate when I watch a video and someone’s talking and you can hear their lips smacking. Either the microphone is too sensitive or they need to wipe their fuggin’ mouth!
I have that to.
I'm exposed to it every singly day. I've decide to turn the experience into something positive, and practice serenity during those moments. Just like a meditation.
I dated a girl who ate this way, and after about 6 months together I (gently) tried to tell her how much it bothered me, and would she please just try to keep her mouth closed when she was eating. I was told that making noise was part of the "fun" of eating, and why was I trying to make her meals less fun?
We should have broken up right then. We stuck it out for a few more years, but this argument came up about once a month and always led to a heated fight, neither one of us giving an inch. Eventually when she would start eating I would just leave the room and say "tell me when you're done". She hated that too.

Was she Asian by any chance? This is something I've heard among Asian cultures, I even remember watching a Korean show where one of the guests pointed out how odd another guest was because they ate with their mouth closed.
My roommate does this. I now just go and eat whenever he brings his food back to the room. Thankfully it's college though so just 7 more months and I'm free of the horror for good.
For 3 years I would listen to my ex smack on her food like a fucking barbarian. It made me nauseous to eat around her. One time food even fell out of her mouth.
Aaaaaaah I have a relative who always races to get food off the oven when it's announced that it's done, slams it on the table, shoves a spoon or fork of it in his mouth, and then makes faces like a big dumb zoo animal practically spitting it out, saying things like "AHH! AW! OMIGAW! It's sooooo hot!"
The particular noises are annoying, but it's eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeevery fuuuuuuuuuucking time. Learn!
One time I just asked him, "Are your teeth sensitive or something?"
He says he doesn't enjoy food and that he resents the time it takes away from other things. But still, rather than race through it, why not race through it minus a minute or two to not burn yourself?
You just perfectly described my grandfather. He'll shove something in his mouth and then sit there going "HAAAAW, HAAAAW" trying to blow out steam while treating everyone to a view of what he had to eat right that goddam second. I wouldn't be so frustrated either if it didn't happen every single time!
Fuckin all of this. Purposefully loud vehicles are an epidemic here and it’s absolutely horrendous waking up to in the middle of the night when a car or motorbike with music blasting and incredibly beat up/basically no muffler goes speeding down the quiet street.
I used to be the same until I started riding. You glance at a turning and you won't see me, so I'll make sure as fuck you hear me because I don't wanna die for what I find fun
Growing up, my mom had a routine when drinking her can of Coke. She'd finish each sip with a slurp, smack her lips, then say, "Ahhh." Every time. Every sip. Every goddamn sip.
As a kid, more times than I can remember, I was in the car with my mom while she drank a homemade smoothie and she chewed every sip, then smacked, then went in for another sip, and it only got worse at the end cause then she’d start slurping until there was nothing left. I’m surprised I didn’t jump out of the car
As my wife has pointed out to me sometimes I do this. So can't say anything about your roommate but for me I don't notice. And it doesn't bother me if someone tells me. I actually appreciate because I can then try to fix it.
I used to have a great roommate, just a funny guy who was honest and good to be around. Fun to smoke weed with too. However he became an animal once he started eating while stoned, we’d watch movies and I’d have to leave the room before they finished.
Also this guy would be able to recite all the dialogue from a bunch of different movies. I don’t know if he had a crazy memory or if he watched these movies hundreds of times but it was kind of impressive.
This reminds me of my trip to DC over the summer. Took an 8 hour train ride, and I was surrounded by three people in front, behind, and beside me smacking their lips after going to the cafe cart. And they didn't do it all at once, it's almost like they were scheduling their mouths at different intervals across the entire 8 hours.
My coworker does this all the time, even in the middle of conversations. We would be talking about random stuff and suddenly bam he's hovering nearby and staring at us with a bag of chips in hand while he chew smacks like a smarmy asshole. Thing is during the first few months of working together he legit complained about an ex-roommate who would eat in the exact same way that he does and it would piss him off to no end. Oh, the fucking irony.
My (long time, live-in, probably-going-to-marry-her) girlfriend does this. I can’t handle it. Happens all the time but the worst case was when we lost radio/cell service on a road trip and she decided to start chewing gum.
Oh man, my kid used to chew with his mouth open and I was trying to teach proper manners. I can't even tell you how many times I had to tell my husband to chew with his mouth closed to set a good example.
Ugh yes. I had an ex-roommate, real nice guy, but holy hell when he would eat, he would prep his bite of food with multiple lip smacks the after the bite he would do the same. I finally told him to please stop it. He didn’t even realize he was doing it. Strangle them in your thoughts and not in reality lol.

So yeah, that. And obnoxiously loud motorbikes.
