The guy who shares my office is a loud eater. I mean really disgustingly smacking-gulping-swallowing-belching-chewing-with-mouth-open loud eater.
When it happens around lunchtime I can just leave, but when he goes to get a snack, or even a drink (yes, he’s a loud drinker too: “glug-glug-glug! AAAHHHHHHH!”) in the middle of the day I have to sit through it. I eventually hold my ears closed (not to worry, he’s completely oblivious).
He also talks to himself, at a normal conversational volume, but mumbling.
It’s like he has absolutely no concept that 1) other people can hear him, and 2) they do not want to.
Maybe this should have been in the pit, but I didn’t swear enough.
