Talking with Mouths full

People who talk with their mouths full (when eating food that is) & people who gestulate with their hands when making a point, oh and people who wear dirty trainers and not shoes when in a nice bar or resturant.

Women who are still wearing their undies after being with me for 3min in the bedroom.

Yeah I really can't stand hearing people eat. I used to like Magnums until the ad came on with the tart chomping into one. Yuck.

People that don't wash their hands after using the bathroom.

Ditto....


How anybody could find that overemphasized clunk and snap motivating to buy a lolly is beyond me.

do you mean " quotation marks "

Many doctors wash their hands in a public place BEFORE having a pee, taps, door handles, have many germs on them, no point washing hands after using a public toilet, i use hand gel's after exiting public loo's and some other places.

I'm not that germophobic and nothing I do requires my hands to be sterile.
The obsession with bacteria and germs is a tad ridiculous, I mean HOWEVER did we survive before all this.

However despite that I always wash my hands after cleaning, the bathroom or if they've come into contact with something unhygienic and it annoys me when others do not.

I sometimes do it when I absolutely need to get across that I'm either being sarcastic or quoting.

Other than that, yes, it is annoying, in the vast majority of cases the tone of voice should be able to get sarcasm and quoting across.

If you don't like noisy eating FFS don't come to China, it's a bloody national sport!!!!

Chomping and slurping is how they eat, add to that almost all soups have large bones in them and almost all my relations will go for the largest bone, and suck the marrow out (their usually not bothered about meat on the bone). Honestly a family meal in China sounds like a hundred navvies stomping through a friggin marsh!

Drives me nuts! The amount of times I seriously have to bite my tongue! I just have to think (HARD) this is THEIR country, I'm the guest! (Even if it is in MY house and I'm paying for the food)

I couldn't handle that. It does seem to be to do with certain nationalities. I went to a classy restaurant with my firm - Jewish South African lawyers. They were all well to do, but to see (and hear) them eating totally put me off the food, practically putting their faces in the dishes and slurping and talking with great globs of food being displayed. Horrible.

well it is not ridiculous where hospitals are concerned, but the paranoia shown in the home about killing 99% of all household germs certainly is.

It cannot just be coincidence that the obsession with killing every germ has gone hand in hand with the increase in allergies.
there is an old saw about eating a peck of earth in a lifetime.
the immune system is boosted by having contact with most of these germs. That is why so many kids are weedy these days.
I am not suggesting that you shit in their mouths but do let them have contact with the day to day germs.

I agree with you completely.

I hate the word gob being used in place of spit.

People who litter, don't pick up their dog's poo and spit in public.

What annoys me are the toilets that assume that men are farm animals. You know the ones, they have a big metal trough to pee in.... and all the animals have to line up next to each other, flop out their todgers and stand their tinkling while other blokes' urine splashes off the metal and on to their trousers.


Delightful!

Oh, you would just ADORE Chinese public toilets!

A good one,



A mediocre one



A bad one



If you're caught short in China we usually find a McDs or KFC or a four star hotel!

Most of us can last hours between visits! It's jokingly called Chinese Kung Fu!

The average Chinese person views them as more hygienic. Ok, not the filthy public ones, but the idea is there is no area where there is skin contact to pass on germs and disease. In the 'western' version you sit your bare arse on a seat, then along comes someone else and does the same. That totally freaks out a lot of Chinese. When in Britain my wife used to carry disposable toilet seat covers whenever she went out in public!

Having said that when we were getting our apartment fitted out one of the few things I insisted on was western style sit on toilets in both our bathrooms!

Makes sense when you think about it, I suppose they are more hygienic. You wouldn't catch someone spending much time there reading the Sporting Life either. But what about elderly people - how on earth do they get back up on their feet again, poor old sods.
