I notice that the habit of chewing while talking is getting more prevalent.?

Question

I'm not referring only to gum (although I really do not want to see what someone has in their mouth at any time).
What i really object to, is people who take a mouthful of food and then carry on chatting. You see it a lot in fast-food restaraunts and I hate the sight of partially masticated food appearing and disappearing as the mouth opens/closes. Not to mention the spray effect. Ugh!

Answer 1

I agree, it's gross. But it's also partially the fault of the person that asks the question after you've just taken a mouth full & then looks at you impatiently while waiting for an answer.

Answer 2

Etiquette and good manners exist so we can relate to others without offending them or ourselves. They are the rules that govern our social behaviour so there is a certain order in our society. Talking with our mouth fulls is not only offensive, but it gives a bad impression of the person doing it, but as with most things in life, being corteous is a choice, so there is not really much you can do if people chose being rude.

Answer 3

i understand, but if this is so upsetting, maybe you should only get take out so you don't have to be subject to this. Sometimes it just can't be helped.

Answer 4

I would give you an answer, but my mouth is full.

Answer 5

it is kinda gross when you get sprayed, but i find it real annoying when i have to wait till iv swallowed my food before i have to talk, esp when it's important/urgent... maybe thats just me though.

Answer 6

Try some goggles!
