This is a situation in which I probably would have tit punched her. Or just stared hard at her. It’s pretty much the same thing, really.

This happened to me just the other day — at the library! I actually got up and moved a few tables away but I could still hear his crunching. What made it even more annoying was that he was sitting directly under the “No Eating” sign.

I see Dave already made the movie theater comment. BUT … as I read this my first thought was that you were sitting in a theater someplace as crap like this always happens to me there. And it’s people that bring in the extra noisy bags of stuff from home.

It should be a law.
Crunchy food should be sold in tissue paper.
No, wait, that makes noise too…

Those are the same sounds that the homeless guy sitting at the table next to me in the coffee shop is making. Only he doesn’t have trail mix. Make your own inferences.

hilly: you know, it wasn’t the chewing that drove me to the edge as much as the bag crinkling. thank god it was only a 15 minute ride.
dave2: true dat. that’s what it felt like, though – someone at a theater opening a cough drop for 15 minutes straight.
shari: i swear, that’s probably it! of course, that trail mix probably cost about 5x what a bag of peanuts would’ve cost…

Yeah, but the nutrition label on the back of peanuts isn’t as good.
*heh*

At least on the train you can put on your headphones and crank the iPod. It’s when morons like this sit behind you in the movie theater that you want to go postal.

I’m convinced that no one would want to be on a train/plane/boat with me when someone does this. Were I super frustrated, I might….eh, I WOULD have looked at her and said, “Really? Do you have to chew that loudly?”.
