I can almost deal with all the other disgusting developments of crowds, people, and general invasion of privacy in this city but I can't stand the eating. When did that of all things become so vulgar? Smacking and slurping and half-masticated food on display while speaking to other people, is that really necessary? As if it isn't bad enough you have to bare all skin to the world you have to showcase sucking into your-- whatever that was. Meals were always something private and necessary because-- because you had to and they were never so-- and shouting across crowded restaurants and leaning over the tables like that and slurping out of someone's glass and looking at-- ...

Some things should just remain private and those private things should remain separate from one another and there are reasons I don't like going out and among them is that kind of erotic obscene behavior.

There's no sound I hate more than the smacking of lips.
