I didn't know they made bags that big

A woman who works two offices down has her door open, and has been eating 1 potato chip every 2 seconds for the last 45 minutes. If you don't hear from me again, it's because I've scraped my ears off of my head and died from the blood loss.

Oh, GOD, make it stop. It's like crunchy water torture.

It's time to break out the bag of carrots and let the crunch wars begin!

Can't turn your radio up any louder?

Maybe if you just stand in her doorway shaking ever so slightly it will scare her into not eating them anymore.

I once told a manger that I was going to throw things at her every time she cracked her gum. started out at paperclips aand had gotten up to pencils. I was reaching for a stapler when she promised to stop. Just a suggestion

I get the same sensation when someone scrapes their metal fork on a plate or against their teeth. Drives me nuts!

R - Don't much like carrots. And unfortunately I can just as easily gross myself out if I eat too noisily.

CD - You have hit my #1 all time super grande with sprinkles pet peeve. I have the sad foreknowledge that one day I will kill. And gum cracking will be the catalyst.

Diane - Different strokes, I guess. That doesn't bother me, but I will make a mental note not to purposely do it at restaurants.

I will never go to a movie with my friend Maria, because she LOSES HER MIND when she hears people make any sort of mouth noise at all. She will actually tell people eating popcorn and candy to keep it down. She is craaaaazaaay! We ate at a Mexican food joint not too long ago and I thought she was going to run around and kick everyone in the throat because, as people at mexican restaurants tend to do, they were eating tortilla chips. She was able to keep it together for 2 minutes until our chips came, and then she couldn't hear them anymore!

I had this problem with kids at home one day. There were like 4 of them in there and it was driving me nuts. I got up, went in there picked up the bag and just crushed the shit out of every little chip in there. My doctor said I am going to be fine though, so don't ya'll worry about me!

Put on your nylon trackpants and swish about up and down the corridor.

Try having a boss who does a tongue on roof of mouth noise every time he wants your attention (instead of a small cough etc) and makes the same noise when eating fruit day after day. It is so loud it travels across the office.

Whenever the fruit comes out - i go on a passive smoko with half the office... but what can you do?

My ex boss used to a) take a handful of MY chips, b) stand right over my shoulder and c) chomp...nay...chow...nay...smack them with his mouth wide open.

Even worse was when he'd be eating a sandwich (or anything for that matter) and would be talking to me & smacking at the same time. I about barfed several times....It was not a purdy picture.
