One of My Idiosyncrasies
~The single most disgusting thing in the world to me is listening to someone chew food. It makes me want to use my fork to pin someone's tongue to the wall. Those that smack their lips should be smacked away from the table- sounds like an old man sudsing up his old hairy ass in the shower, or a cow pulling it's foot out of the mud. Ever wonder why the words "mastication" and "masturbation" sound so much alike? (Bet you haven't, but I have.) Because they both have that wet nasty sound.
This pet peeve of mine has caused many a dispute in our home. If K2 is snacking on chips, I will leave the room, turn on music, etc. I will also shoot him the worst of dirty looks; if that doesn't work, I will cuss him out. Not that he is doing it on purpose, or doing anything wrong, he's just eating... But listening to food being mashed up between his teeth and blended to a gooey pulp, with the rhythmic popping of his lips coming open is enough to send me to the cabinet for a tube of super glue. In the very least he gets a threat of violence- such as the uneaten chips being stuffed in his cornhole, bag and all, to save me the trouble of listening to digestion begin.
It's just really fucking gross.... or I am really fucking certifiably crazy. Maybe both.
At this time, I am going to open the floor to questions, as it is something I have never done before. Post your question for me in the comments. Being the brassy bitch I am- I'll answer anything- unless it's fucking stupid. I will post the answers here, and make you famous.... ish.

Oh GOD! I hate lip-smacking eaters! My husband has some dental problems so he smacks and sometimes even makes a sucking-kissing sound, I swear that's worse than smacking! I don't know if a bridge is gonna make it better or worse, ugh.
Have you ever done drugs? If so what kinds and how much and how often?

I laughed my fucking head off when I read this, because I don't know how many times I have told other people (men & a child or two - sorry guys!) to chew with their mouth shut. I can't count the times that I have walked away from a table because somebody was either chewing with their mouth open, or because I was hearing them chewing, chomping, gnashing, MASTICATING the bejejus out of their food.
As far as relationships go during the end phase, it seems to be one of the things that really REALLY gets to me and sticks in my mind about a person. That and leaving a revolting hair on the soap, since you mentioned showers and hairy asses. Where has that bar of soap been? Ever heard of a wash cloth?
Mastication/masturbation - I think you may have something there, Ms Freud. The word "mastication" has always sounded so incredibly foul.
Y'know, I can't stand when I hear MYSELF eating and it's just plain rude to be loud about it. Where are people's manners, ffs?

"So you ever notice how eating your food like the way you mention sounds alot like sloppy pussy during sex? Heh." I'd never have sex if it did. I'm going to throw up now.

I believe that an idiosyncracy refers to something about a person that is a peculiarity and/or a characteristic--> not a personal pet peeve, as you seem to believe.

The fact that it bothers me would a be a "pet peeve"... the fact that it makes me want to do violent things to the people near me chewing and smacking their lips.... Like beating them profusely about the head and neck with whatever they are feasting upon may qualify it as an idiosyncrasy- especially when I want to take that bag of chips and mash it up the corn hole of the consumer... Or go up to a total stranger in a restaurant and take their plate away... and dump the contents into their lap whilst lecturing them on the simplest of table etiquette. ... I am an oddball. No denying that.

Geez, you can describe things really well. Even though I've never been around your husband (obviously), I swear, I could hear him masticating. Or perhaps he was regurgitating?
Question:
What extreme things have you done to your husband out of anger? Well, and to anybody else. You know, like 'psycho' kinda things we do.

So what Miss Jones - you've never eaten pussy before? Or nobody's chowed down on your pink taco? As for myself, every time I go to town on the pink eye, its gets sloppy. Heh.
