    People who make smacking sound when eating

    Totally agree. There is a woman @ work who constantly makes noises. When I first met her I asked if she was talking to me. Nope. Turns out she always mumbles and smacks/chomps when she eats, etc. even though she has been told numerous times. It's really bad and I can't stand to be in the room...
