[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My petty vent is that my DH's petty vent is becoming unbearable. [b]He hates hearing people chew, so he has to have background noise during all of our meals[/b]--and it has to be loud enough to drown out any sound of chewing. If I want to enjoy croutons on my salad, I have to endure him giving me the death stare every time I bite a crouton and all of us have to shout over the dinner music if we want to talk to each other. It's just easier to avoid eating crunchy things at home. [/quote]

:lol: 
my spouse always remarks when my fork touches my teeth, but hasn't yet resorted to background noise.  [/quote]

I only hate hearing my DH chew.  It's not that he chews particularly loudly, but somehow he chews annoyingly. (Yes, I know this is absurd.)[/quote]

I don't generally hate hearing DH chew - like if we sit down to dinner or he's just eating near me, I don't even notice his chewing.

But he loves to get out the noisiest possible snacks when we watch TV at home and it drives me nuts. We'll start a show, and THEN he'll go get chips or pretzels and start rustling the bag, or getting himself a drink and filling a tumbler to the brim with ice first. So it's like the second I've settled in on the couch to enjoy something, there's always 5-15 minutes of him making noise in the kitchen and getting out a noisy snack and then eating it as loudly as possible. Why then?! Why not do all that before we start the movie? I'll never know.[/quote]
