Man, my dad does this and it drives me crazy! I can't stand to hear him eating.

 

[Road Guy]

i used to dread eating at my house the entire time i was a kid, he is a terrible smacker (good dad though) to this day i position myself the farthest away from him i can anytime we go out to eat...

 

[snickerd3]

along the lines of smacking while eating...the scraping of the teeth on the fork to get the food off. my MIL does this...do you really need to bite onto the fork to get the food off.
