Maybe it’s just my misophonia, but I can’t stand it. I grew up in a family where meals were a chorus of slurping, smacking, loud chewing, burping, and other similar sounds. I can’t sit with someone at the same table (especially a small table) and eat without having some music or background noise. I can’t understand the pleasure in listening and seeing each other’s chewing and swallowing. Imagine if toilets were communal and you could sit and talk to your neighbors while grunting and straining to drop a load. If it were up to me, eating would be an individual affair.

edit: Yep, I had a feeling this would be downvoted, as happens to actual unpopular opinions. This sub is nothing but a feel-good circlejerk for karma whores to post their “controversial yet brave” opinions that everyone actually agrees with.
