Irrational fear of disgusting eaters

I'd rather someone ate with their hands than did that.
I've posted this before somewhere, but still....We were on holiday in Sri Lanka a few years ago and there was a scouse honeymoon couple in the same hotel as us. All the hangers on - mothers, sisters and a few other freaks were also there, so I imagine they got married there too. They really were fking scummers and I decided at the time they had either stolen the holiday, or one of them had won at the bingo, as they really weren't typical of the other clientele at the hotel, however, I digress.
Anyway, we had the misfortune to be in the restaurant at the same time as them on a few nights and watched the bloke eating his meals with his fking fingers when there was a knife and fork right in front of him. He ate with his mouth open, although it seemed he had no choice but to keep it open to breath through. His face was covered with food. The filthy bd.

My dad and brother have this, not so much about people eating messily but more the noise.Worst thing is they develop new aversions every year, mum washing up noisily, excessive mouse clicking, turning a magazine loudly.
...clicking keyboards, biting nails, dogs licking themselves, the list is endless.As mentioned earlier, it sounds like mesophonia. My wife has it. It's a nightmare for everyone around her as well.
The worst case was on holiday a few years ago. We ended up sat on a shared table with a Chinese guy, the noisiest eater I've ever heard! Even I wanted to punch him. We would have left, but it was a 3 hour dinner cruise!

I am a habitual knife and plate licker at home. I have done it once in a nice restaurant, i got in a lot of trouble and had all boob access rights removed for a couple of days.

It makes my heart beat faster and cause palpitations.
Crisp eaters who have their mouths open, people who eat so fast they have to slurp it up.

You wanna try sitting in a room with the guy who sits behind me at work. What makes it worse is the fat tt never stops eating, sniffing and burping. Fecking dirty minging scum bag. This is fodder for a normal work day. Crisp eaters who have their mouths open, people who eat so fast they have to slurp it up.

Slurping drinks drives me insane.
Also people who peel an orange whilst in the vicinity of others eating a meal - filthy.
WTF, you have some funny ideas. Also people who peel an orange whilst in the vicinity of others eating a meal - filthy.
'Slurping' is the correct way to drink tea for example.
What is 'filthy' about peeling oranges?
Any food eating sounds make me angry, whether it's slurping or just someone chewing loudly. Worse when it's a combination of things - like eating loudly and fast or gobbling down food in a hurry.
The worst though is chewing gum, possibly the most annoying and revolting habit. The minty smell that emanates means the air molecules have been in their mouth and I'm now breathing it. Then you have their gurning face or manic chewing a la Alex Fergusson. Often they smell more too as it's a heady mix of stale cigarette smoke and mint.
Working in Asia I see more than a few disgusting eaters, particularly the Chinese as they attempt to shovel piles of noodles into their mouths in a fight against gravity, slurping and manically using their chopsticks to get as much in before it falls back on the plate.
Then there are the Indians who use their hands, very hard to get used to seeing this especially when some just shovel it in like it's their first meal in a month.
