Does this make anyone else want to vomit? It's my largest pet peeve, and it seems that everyone I'm near lately does it, including my Mother who taught me not to talk with my mouth full.

I only talk with my mouth full when discussing baseball and football.
I find it disgusting. My twelve year old has some bad eating habits.
Hehe.
Should a son really have to tell his Mother to not talk with her mouth full?

My mother in law does the same! Yikes!
Ugh! This is so yucky! But I find that I'm guilty on occassion. Usually when I'm talking with a group of close friends. what I find even MORE disgusting, though, is chewing with your mouth open. If a man does that on a date, it's all over.

Yeah, you have no qualms about this when you're sucking in Thai food by the pound, katy darlin'.
Hey! A girl's gotta have her rama hicken and Thai iced tea, d*mnit! And then you start asking me stuff and I have to respond.
I didn't realize grown-ups did this...
Unfortunately I am sometimes guilty as charged.
IF I must respond to something when I still have food in my mouth, I will at least cover my mouth with my hand and apologize.
My step mother in law does this so bad. It drives me nuts. She will chew and talk with her mouth open then she yells at her step son (not my husband- his little brother) for doing the same thing, but to a much smaller scale. It is disgusting.

This reminds me of a story: I had a met a woman through friends a couple of New Years Eves ago. Instant attraction and electricity between dancing all nite. We exchanged flirtatious emails and phone calls and went out a couple of weeks later.
We decided on brunch and to go see "The Hours." We go to the diner and I order an omelette and she orders scrambled eggs and bacon. The food comes and she takes a big forkful of eggies and bacon and starts yapping away with chunks of egg and bacon flying out of her mouth.
I almost barfed on the spot. "Maybe she's nervous,' I thought being the first date with me. "Relax, we have time," I said.
"This is how I eat," she replied, as a piece of egg hit the table. I didn't look directly at her the rest of the meal.
I had to see her one more time as we had tickets for "Medea"
Luckily she had to see her shrink and couldn't make dinner. That was it though for that relationship even with the potential hot sex pending.
DayDreamer, I do the same thing.
It makes me sick when I see adults chomping with a wide open mouth and talking. It's the worst when they end up spraying food out as they talk. Ugh, what are you supposed to say to these people? "Where are your manners?" Most mothers would smack you if you said that to them.

That, and using your fingers to push your food on the plate. Recently we went out for an office lunch, and this really cute new guy sat across from me. We were having Indian, knives were provided, and there was plenty on nan on the table. Yet he was using his cupped fingers to push his food onto his plate. Cute factor went down like 75 points.
I like to talk with my mouth full of Brach's Lemon drops.
Ewwww why would you touch indian food with your fingers? Ick.
I have to confess I did this Monday night. ON STAGE! lol It couldn't be helped!
I say if the flow of conversation forces one to speak while a bit of food is in your mouth--just cover your mouth so no one has to SEE you masticating.
