    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

      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)

    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

    Back in the day, a girlfriend of mine eating fries and mayo. She is a professor at Leuven University now, very smart mind, sweet and handsome…but you wouldn’t take her out to the snackbar because she would eat like a hungry pig.

    CRAB!

    My hubs loves them so I get to sit across the table and listen as he brutally cracks open his food.

    You know what they do with the legs, yeah?

      Does homeboy not know about crabcakes? All the taste, none of the pain in the ass and paying for the privilege of preparing your own food. Just get them somewhere that doesn’t use filler.

    My captor must have had experience working help desk. I’ve endured people eating chips and sandwiches, chewing gum, and sniffling with stopped up sinuses right in my ear, while trying to focus on fixing their computer.

    Man, I dunno if I really want to explore this rabbit hole, but I’m sure that there’s much-less-tolerable stuff out there. Say, live mice or something.

      I was honestly envisioning foods that people eat normally, that might sound disgusting. But I don’t want to be too restrictive of answers now.

      Did you read the other person’s suggestion about mice or are there two people here to independently came up with this grim idea?

        I just posted it myself as the first thing that came to mind with something small and cute and noise-making. Hadn’t read other comments at that point.

    As someone who likes watching people eat this won’t work on me. I’m into this shit.

    I’m so deaf I could sit in a room full of large, sweaty men slurping chicken off drumsticks while making open-mouthed, gruntled dad noises with every gasping breath, and it wouldn’t bother me in the slightest. Well, other than such a room existing, that is.
