I know some people that make noises or talk while they are eating....

I find this sooooo irritating!! I don't know if this a cultural thing or is just bad manners....

What do you think?

Yes, in general people that don't have manners while they are eating in the table!

It is basically about what is considered good manners in your own culture.
For example, I have lived in Japan for over 20 yrs, and it is a standard procedure to slurp your noodles here. If you don't slurp them, you'll be considered rude. I try to slurp but something deep down prevents me. The sound of other eaters slurping no longer bothers me as it once did, as I am trying hard to learn how to slurp myself.

Bad manners i think, it annoys the hell out of me too!, although some noise is acceptable, i mean, there is chewing going on after all, but when people do it with an open mouth irritates me soooo much!

I have great table manners accept for the fact that i chew my food really hard and smack my teeth together when i eat. Apart from that im an idea dinner guest. I hate slobs who dont know how to eat properly. Elbows on the table or newspapers at breakfast, drive me nuts!

When my daughter was between 7 & 10 yrs of age, she would smack while chewing. She was doing this without knowing it, of course, so I'd gently remind her.
She's older now, and doesn't do it anymore. I think for her, at least, it was just a phase kids will go thru.
However, I've seen adults who've not grown out of this.

My ex used to ridicule me!
I have it when people bite the spoon / fork, or god forbid the knife!

I hate scraping of cutlery on the plate..
and when people talk / eat wit their mouth full.

Noisy food too! Oh man, eating is a nasty thing!

Some cultures find it rude if you dont make noise while you eat.

The scraping sound on the plate when they are cutting food up and refuse to acknowledge that the food is sliced.
