See Food - No Thanks
Here is a great pet peeve of many people - See food! Just in case it is your peeve I decided not to include a picture of someone chewing their food with their mouth wide open.
Now personally, I don't really care. It usually doesn't bother me when someone decides to chew their food with their mouth open, unless they are someone who just annoys the fire out of me anyways. In that case, it would probably bother me no matter how they choose to chew their food.
Nonetheless, I appreciate the fact that others have this peeve because it does help keep our society somewhat civil. For example, if you are having a heated discussion at dinner and someone says something you don't like, by having the discipline to chew your food with your mouth shut you give yourself enough time to think through your options.
- Option 1: Use the time to calm down and collect yourself so that you don't say something you regret.
- Option 2: Decide that you don't care about the consequences of your actions and chew your food enough so that it can be hurled across the table in liquid form.

Smacking food is definitely in my TOP 5 pet peeves of all time!
I believe when people smack their food it reveals several things about their character. One, they are not self-aware. Two, they are not concerned with other people. And three, they grew up somewhere up North because they don't teach manners up there.
If I'm with someone and they're smacking their food, they'll definitely get a "Chew It Don't Smack It" from me!
I totally agree, though I hate it when people smack or suck their food loudly. I don't know if it is just those from the North, because I run into a lot of Southerners who look like the cows they raise when they are eating. It is basically about manners though. I am really rude to someone when they smack. I either say something, or if we are friends, family etc. and you smack in a restaurant I will get up and leave you. It's that serious.
