That's not a phobia as the definition of a phobia is a fear of a specific situation or thing. The symptoms of phobia are anxiety and/or nervousness., usually intense. You're simply disgusted by someone's bad manners which, granted, can be a big turnoff, but that doesn't make you phobic.

Sounds more like annoyance and frustration with others than a true phobia. Kind of a control thing maybe? A phobia is a fear of something. Not anger at something.

your fear is called hyperacusis and here's some info on it...Since the summer of 1997, unusual cases of hyperacusis have contacted my clinic to report symptoms that stray outside the 'regular' pattern of hyperacusis. One of these variations involves strong negative reaction to soft sounds, in particular, sounds associated with eating, breathing, speaking, or lip smacking. Most of the reported sufferers are girls, about 70 % to date, and the rest boys. There are often a few other concerns about the patients, occasional ADD/HD or mild obsessive compulsive disorder, however, as a group they are high functioning, capable individuals. No remarkable medical history presents itself in the reporting of the patients as a whole group. As a matter of fact, they tend to do well in school as a general rule, academically, enjoy social outings and friends, and participate in many different activities. Noises that are identified as bothersome or extremely annoying most often relate to noises associated with the mouths or noses of other people. Biting, chewing, forks clicking on plates or teeth, tongues licking lips, lips smacking when opening or shutting, sssss sounds or other high frequency sounds, fingernail biting, or breathing sounds, can send these patients through the roof, out the door, into their rooms, and into seclusion. In many cases, it can be one particular person that presents the most difficulty for the sufferer. Headphones with music pop on at the slighest opportunity, background music is often played very loudly, the television has to be on 'high' and so forth for the sufferer to endure the presence of these irritating sounds.Treatment is possible, but must be individualized to the person, and supported by knowledgeable well trained medical professionals.

Hmmm... I dont' think there is one officially ( though I woudn't be suprised if there was an official name...)
But, how about demasticataphobia.... Probably the closest thing to what it will probably be... (demastication as in chewing) And I know it spelled it wrong, but I can't seem to find the right spelling with Yahoo' s spell checker, and dont' feel like getting my Abnormal Psy book out at the minute LOL

Yeah that's just a pet peeve. A phobia is like a fear, but taken too far so that it affects your daily life. This certain thing may affect your daily life but you aren't afraid of it so it's not a phobia.
