Pet Peeve Drivin' Me Nucking Futs

In a meeting, not my department not even really my responsibility but I've got to be here. Bored to tears, who the hell schedules this shit for a Friday morning? Anyway that's not what's pissing me off, at least not as much as this:

The woman talking will not stop eating while she talks. Fucking driving me crazy, my three year old isn't allowed to do that.

I am so glad I don't have to interact with this one.

Still crunching away on some Chex Mix or pretzels, won't shut up, won't stop crunching. May have to leave before I chuck my coffee cup at her noggin.

On edit: What would drive you to chuck a coffee cup at a noggin during a meeting.

I hate it when someone repeats himself/herself over and over again.

Years back I worked for a specialty engineering fab shop and the entire crew would eat lunch together in the main shop as it gave us an opportunity to bounce ideas off each other and discuss issues about the projects we were all working on. The shop foreman was an extremely talented and knowledgable metal fabricator, but he had one huge flaw: He would chew his food with his mouth wide open, smacking and talking the whole time. It eventually got on my nerves so bad that one day I reached for a 15 inch Crescent wrench and was about to crown him with it when I suddenly came to my senses, put the wrench down and walked outside. I started eating lunch in anothr part of the building after that.

Hang in there!

WTF? Not exactly the way you want to present yourself in a company setting. I can understand snacking while talking casually to friends, but at a meeting!?
