For me, it’s corn on the cob.
Teeth.

Futurama - Thompson’s teeth, the only teeth strong enough to eat other teeth
I work in film post-production. One time, my team needed audio of people eating, so our sound guy recorded us eating our lunch with a really sensitive mic. When I was editing the audio in, it was really gross at first, but I got used to it pretty quickly.
The thing that still haunts me is the really subtle sound of forks hitting teeth. shutters
I like how working in the film industry has made you shutter instead of shudder

Bad idea indeed. Next time tell him he should record people using forks and knives and plates, but not any sounds that come from the mouth.
Scenes where people eat are “cleaned” very much in films. You see and hear people talking, playing a little with their food and that’s that. Never the real action of chewing, swallowing etc. (unless the film actually wants to create some bad vibes)
This was specifically supposed to be gross. We needed audio of people chewing.
My stepdad would eat bananas with his mouth wide open as he chewed. And he’d chew each bite for a solid minute before swallowing. Even though it’s a banana and you can literally just mash it agains the roof of your mouth with your tongue. He would do this as he was driving, so I think he’d just get distracted and forget that he was still chewing food. But it made every ride to school in the morning an absolute living hell.
So I’m gonna go with bananas.
Were you a terrible kid? Sounds super passive aggressive (and kind of hilarious)
Nah he’s just always had no self awareness when it comes to the noises he makes. Lots of loud chewing while you’re trying to eat, grunting and snorting in the middle of a conversation, full-volume “whispering” in movie theaters, etc. He’s not even hard of hearing or anything (dude hears like a bat, honestly), he’s just a very loud guy lmao
I have a condition called misophonia. Just kill me instead. Please.
Same. I hate eating with other people unless theirs a loud tv/music in the background. I have found that those loop earplugs help with it at least but then you have to answer questions about what those are.
Oh my god those loop earplugs have been a lifesaver! Started using them about a year ago. Can’t recommend them enough for anyone else suffering
My brother’s wife bought me a pair a couple years ago and I was really skeptical but they are great. They also help me not get stressed out when I’m around loud children which was another big issue for me. I actually enjoy going to family gatherings now and don’t have to step away to calm my nerves every 30 minutes or so.
