Slurp

I’m sitting at my desk today noticing that TFB is a very noisy eater. He was having his lunch, which he takes earlier than I do, and for some reason, always eats at his desk.

He was eating an apple. He eats many apples. Every day he eats an apple.

Problem is: he fucking slurps these apples. So I hear him take a bite and then I hear him slurping up the juices. What the hell kind of apples is he eating that there is so much juice he’s slurping them all the time? Bite, slurp, bite, slurp. I can’t stand it. I walked off to anywhere else today.

When I tell you that I don’t like people eating with their mouths open (or chewing gum), one of the reasons I don’t like it is because you hear them eating. Nothing grosses me out more than (well, maybe something does, but for now…) the sound and look of people’s slurpy, sloppy eating habits.

I guess I have a lot of little idiosyncracies – maybe not so little. This one bothers me to no end, along with tapping/clicking.

And while I’m at it, I was in a meeting this morning and the guy sitting next to me was not only doing the jiggly leg thing, but he kept rotating his thumb. Then he’d switch it up and rotate both thumbs around each other. Then he seemed to be rubbing his leg with his thumb, then, wait…. back to the rotating thumb.

I couldn’t look away from the rotations and jiggling, only because he was in my line of view while I watched the presentation.

Apparently there’s lots of stuff I don’t like happening on my watch. Does this stuff bug anybody else as much or is it just me? I know the jiggly leg drives my snookey nuts.

WTF?
