ok, so i have this problem and it's actually only with my parents. I get along with them both just fine, but when it comes to them eating, if i even hear the fork "clank" against a plate, i get SUPER pissed and my stepdad, well, he eats like a ****** savage anyways, and that makes me SOOO mad. what can i or should i do so i can handle this? You can't say "leave the room" because we eat dinner together. I don't say anything because it's rude, but once in a while I just BLOW up and it's all because of them eating! what is this?

There is a solution, If you have an i-pod listen to your music and smile and be friendly, this too will pass. Hang in there, there is really nothing you can do, without creating really bad will, a person with poor table manners will never be enlightened just feel angry and insulted. Silence is golden, listen to your music and just ignore the situation.

I know how you feel 100%-I'm the same way-ANY "clank"/click sounds make me nervous as hell & I plug my ears! -Another thing, when I sit in a restaurant, I can't stand it when these people stir their coffee loud-(clank or click the spoon in the cup, tap their spoon on the rim of the cup, then drop it on the table!) & what I hate alot is when they "slurp" their coffee-along with several other noises people make while eating or drinking, or whatever I get nervous for some reason, (loud annoying people, screaming kids or babies, people who blow their nose, -I could go on) -I wish I knew why I'm like this, but who knows.

GROSS, RUDE, AND ALL THE CLASS OF A BAG OF VOMIT!!!!!!! That is what it is. People who have the table manners of swine should be left to their own table and let the sensitive prigs like you and I alone.
I know just how you feel. I too have loved ones I will not sit down to a dinner table with.
I hate it when people act like that, it is about as sensitive as pissing in your dogs water bowl. It does nothing but bring on contempt!! GAWD I HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE DO THAT!! Especially in public? Like a restaurant when you've already ordered and a group of fools sit next to you to eat like starved animals at a trough.
Foodstuff in rude peoples mouths is one reason why I always bring a pair of earplugs with me on long bus rides.
Some people just have no sense of what they are doing.

Enjoy their sound. Change. I used to be like this until my girlfriend got angry at her parents for every little thing. Then I went back home and love my parents for every little things that used to annoy me. And yeah, I dumped her. But I did learn to not be like her. So I do owe her one. She just couldn't change.
