I am a college student, and it seems like manners are completely dead. Every day in class, there are at least six people chewing gum, and if that weren't bad enough, they're not really chewing it so much as they're gnawing, popping, and smacking it. Nobody remembers how to blow their nose, so there are constantly sniffles and snorts of mucous headed back up the nostrils. People waltz in late, talk or whisper throughout class, and put their feet on the table.
But is that all? No. Every day, *every* day, there are at least two people with a drink from Starbucks, and they are compelled to drink during class. It is annoying enough listening to them swallow, but swishing their ice around or scraping the whipped cream off the sides of the cup is aggravating. The slurping sounds are downright annoying, and it's very distracting to see a young lady... intimately engaged, one might say... with the straw.
People also eat during class. The eating sounds are terrible, but nobody takes their food
