Enough is Enough!
My biggest pet peeve is people that
eat loudly. I understand that some food
requires a minimum amount of slurping to enjoy (soup, spaghetti, etc.), but
there comes a certain point where it is borderline offensive. My little brother is the perfect example of
this awful habit. When he eats cereal
his mouth is anything but closed. I can’t
even tell you how annoying that noise is to me.
It is more than a pet peeve; it is the bane of my existence. I always remind him to not do it, and he will
forget my comments within about 15 minutes. Other people are usually not as bad about it
in public (because they have some sort of common decency about them), but my
little brother feels comfortable at home so he is willing to disregard
manners. This has developed into a pet
peeve that is almost solely directed at the sound of my brother eating Cinnamon
Toast Crunch.
Dear Little Brother,
I understand
that this cereal is awesome, but it tastes just as great if your mouth is
closed. You will probably have a wife
someday, and I only wish to save you from the horrible fate of her giving you
this same conversation. I’m telling you
this because I love you: Close your
mouth when you eat, unless you are the only person within 50 feet of that
horrible act.
With love,
Your brother Matt
I enjoyed reading your post. It's true, some people just eat loudly all the time! Luckily, no one in my family is that bad. Great job! I liked your letter to your brother, too!
ReplyDeleteHahaha! This is totally my sister! I feel your pain... It is so annoying. I completely agree!
ReplyDeleteI can sympathize with you. I like how you said it's the bane of your existence. That made me smile because that's how i feel sometimes.
ReplyDeleteHoly cow I can totally relate to this! I think it must be a requirement for little brothers and sisters to eat loudly...
