(8,646 posts)but I'm not the only one. LOL. At our work we have a few people who do not see slurping or smacking when chewing as rude. We work in a very quiet office. A few of the ladies are constantly snacking and they are always chewing with their mouth open and smacking their mouths when they chew. One person won't even eat in the lunchroom because she cannot stand to look at food hanging out of some people's mouths, lol. Luckily, we are allowed to wear headphones while we work. Which is a good thing because several people type REALLY loudly - a few of the people who have fake nails go 'clickety-clack' so loudly. The person next to me does the smacking AND the loud typing. She hits her keyboard so hard sometimes my cubicle wall shakes.
I know I'm not alone - in fact when we rearranged our cubicles, several people warned me about the lip smacking and the aggressive typing, LOL. The crunching, typing, smacking etc really does get to me, but I think it's a pretty large percentage in our office that get annoyed by those things.
