I knew somebody once who absolutely would not eat around other people (if it could be helped) He refused dinner invitations and what not. No restaurant visits, etc. Guess he had a bad childhood incident or something….
My eldest son hates the sound of people chewing. He absolutely has to have the TV on while we’re at the dining table to down out the noise. It drives him mad otherwise.
Whenever I feel curious about the missed experience of child-rearing, I go to a restaurant catering to the very young. A few minutes of watching children eat is better than any other form of birth control for me.

In my early teens I agreed with her. But I grew out of it.

She’d be fine with the Venusians of Robert A. Heinlein’s Space Cadet. Eating in front of another was a real social faux pas.

I’d make a joke about “Un chien andalou”, but the search engine would take it completely in the wrong direction…

That’s how it’s done at our house, an activity to be enjoyed alone.

The sights and sounds (especially from some people) are not pleasant.

There was this one Star Trek TNG episode where the aliens thought that. Man, I am a nerd, an old one at that!

Premise of a sci-fi book I read long ago. Don’t recall which one. Nudity was blase’. But pictures of food and people eating was obscene.

And don’t even think about competitive eaters. I get nausea just thinking about the Nathan’s Hot Dog eating event every July 4th…

Children should eat alone. They are gross to watch.

Never pay attention to other people chewing. It gets more and more disgusting.

If others in the family eat fast and you eat slowly, you can be left to finish eating alone (with the radio and reading material).
